Galdor the Tall

Galdor the Tall (to differentiate him from Galdor of the Havens and Galdor of Gondolin who may have been combined for this adaptation) is the elder son of Hador and brother of Gloredhel and Gundor, husband of Hareth of Brethil and father of Húrin Thalion and Huor. Lord of Dor-Lómin during the Dagor Bragollach, Galdor is more cautious than his son Húrin and more reluctant to go to war in later years, having experienced the death of his brother Gundor in combat.

Like most members of the House of Hador, Galdor will likely have lighter hair and is on the tall end. His role has been a supporting one throughout the last couple seasons but is fairly significant this time around.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been a pretty big name on TV for a number of years and his signature role as Jaime Lannister takes him from arrogant knight to a less arrogant man who is willing to put his life on the line for what he believes in, up to and including charging a dragon. His forays on film tend to be smaller roles but whose actions prove crucial.

My nomination for the role of Galdor is Charlie Hunnam.

He's mostly known for starring in Sons of Anarchy and was in Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie from 2017.
I thought of him based on his performance in the movie Triple Frontier where he plays a war-weary soldier and he fits the casting call for Galdor being tall, blonde and burly. Hunnam is 6 feet tall and 44 years old, and you could still age him up a bit so he could believably be the father of Hurin and Huor.
