Halbarad

[Haakon]

Halbarad is in his thirties at this point in time, and we will have to cast an actor who will be with us for many years (well not all the time, but now and then through the seasons). It is a fairly small role, but quite important. After some consideration, I don't think we should use a famous actor here. I found this guy though, and I believe he'd be great:

Kieran Bew https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1240908/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm
He's played Beowulf!
Age: 37 (so he'll be, what, around 50 when we get to the War of the Ring?)
Height: 6'



EDIT: WAS CHOSEN; OK BY EXECS

 

[Richol Richards]

I nominate Ben Robson

Age: 34
Height: 6'3

 

[Richol Richards]

Also Steven Cree.

Age: 37
Height: 5'9

In the one show I've seen him in, he's a pretty solid character, loyal to his friends and willing to put others needs above his own, including going to jail to protect the identity of a family friend who is a wanted man. I think this serves well for Halbarad, who goes out of his way to protect Estel and keep him from being discovered.
