"I think it’s cool. I also think that, as the show goes on, people will start to be like, “Maybe he’s not so hot anymore…” As things get darker and more sinister, “hot Sauron” might change to “creepy Sauron,” which I would be happy with."

"I would've placed a crown upon your head. I would have never rested until all Middle-Earth had been brought to it's knees. To wordship the light of it's Queen."
'I didn’t think it was possible to be an actor, but I do remember when I was a teenager, going to see Nolan’s film, Inception, three times at the cinema, which is so rare for me, but I loved it so much. It was so inspiring, and I don’t usually get inspired by film, that inspiration usually comes from elsewhere.' CHARLIE VICKERS // HOPEFUL ESCAPISM for Behind The Blinds (October 2024)

Any directors that would be a dream to work with?
— I would love to work with Ari Aster or Christopher Nolan, there’s something about the way he makes films that excites me and reminds me of why I go to the cinema.
I never saw myself on screen in characters I saw in films as I didn’t think it was possible to be an actor, but I do remember when I was a teenager, going to see Nolan’s film, Inception, three times at the cinema, which is so rare for me, but I loved it so much. It was so inspiring, and I don’t usually get inspired by film, that inspiration usually comes from elsewhere.
Such as…?
— I seek inspiration outside of work, from life really and the things that get me excited. I’m into sport, well, obsessed with football, I’m a spurs fan, have been all my life!
I’ve also just done a marathon read of books by the Australian author Tim Winton, and I love music, listening to all kinds of genres, like Jordan Rakei, who I saw at the Albert Hall the other night. I also play guitar, but just for my own enjoyment, I’m not about to unleash my music onto the world!
Let’s say a music biopic came along, who would you want to have a crack at playing?
— Mika! I look a bit like him, if I shave my beard off! [laughs] But I don’t know if it’s too early to make one about him yet, or maybe do it as a musical, but I would definitely play him!

The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Galadriel and Sauron S02E08: Shadow and Flame
Sauron was greater, effectively, in the Second Age than Morgoth at the end of the First. Morgoth squandered his power of being in the endeavour to gain control of others. [...] Morgoth at the time of the War of the Jewels had become permanently incarnate; for this reason he was afraid, and waged the war almost entirely by means of devices, or of subordinates and dominated creatures. Sauron, however, inherited the corruption of Arda, and only spent his (much more limited) power on the Rings; for it was the creatures of earth, in their minds and wills, that he desired to dominate. In this way Sauron was also wiser than Melkor. Sauron was not a beginner of discord; and he probably knew more of the Music than did Melkor, whose mind had always been filled with his own plans and devices, and gave little attention to other things.

[on the fan response to the Galadriel v. Sauron scene from the trailer] "I think that’s a really fun and exciting part of this show that people have latched on to. I hope it keeps going for everyone. I hope they find enough inspiration and little crumbs of things like that bit in the trailer as this season goes on." — CHARLIE VICKERS for Schön! Magazine 📷 Photographed by Lee Malone
