Huor

[Ilana Mushin]

Nicholas Hoult has been waiting in the wings I reckon for a SilmFilm role. I had thought for Húrin initially but perhaps he is not quite imposing enough physically (he's 6'2" and not scrawny though). Can certainly play the dreamer. He may be a bit old for Huor. Possible Ëarendil down the track...

My nomination for the role of Huor is Tom Blyth.

Age: 29
Height: 6'0"

I saw him in the Hunger Games prequel, A Ballad of Songbird and Snakes, last year and he does a good job playing a broody, romantic lead which I think is similar to how you all talked about the Huor/Rian relationship. And though he's naturally a brunette, he dyed his hair blonde for that movie, and he has somewhat of a lanky build which I think could help him look taller if you have to put him on a box, depending on who's cast as Hurin.

Ed McVey? Thought he did a good job as Prince William in The Crown.

I don't know a lot of young actors, but there's Tanner Buchanen. He played the 'bad boy' older son in Designated Survivor, and he's in Cobra Kai, so he can handle himself in fight scenes. He looks very 'safe for a teen movie' as an actor.

He just turned twenty six, and he's 5'8"

So, good for the age range, but a bit too short for Huor, who does need to be taller than Húrin.

Apparently, he visited Ireland a couple of weeks ago:

(Okay, so I think his hair dye is not a great look, but at least you can see what he looks like with fairer hair.)

He probably has Cobra Kai costars who are taller and scrawnier, though. Like Jacob Bertrand, who is 24 and 5'10" (the one with the dyed mohawk):
Jacob does have a younger brother whose an actor, so if we needed someone with a family resemblance later......
