This young actor, known from The Kingsman films, would be perfect as the nice, innovative, charming but perhaps a bit conceited Elf of Doriath. He's a talented actor, and he can sing, as he has proven a number of times, for example in the film Sing, where he plays the gorilla Johnny.

Probably best known for his role of Blaine on Glee, he first got the attention of fandom folks with his role of Harry Potter in A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel (which he wrote the music for).

We will need Daeron to be in stark visual contrast to Beren. So, we want someone who can look like a 'pretty boy.' And of course he needs to be a talented musician.

And one of his original songs that he wrote:
You can find plenty more samples of his singing on his YouTube channel.

He's got a wonderful singing voice and played Grantaire in Les Miserables (2012). I like the nuance that he gives to the characters he plays. I also visually like his look for Daeron - pretty, but also a face that can tell a story or evoke a certain degree of pathos (recalling the poignancy of the loss of Daeron and his music later).
