LOTR: Rings Of Power - Celebrimbor Actor Dishes On The Elf Who Forged The Rings Of Power

gamespot.com:

After a long period of secrecy, we're finally getting more juicy details about Amazon's ambitious Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Most recently, a Fandom feature has revealed more about Celebrimbor, the elf who forged three of the titular rings of power, including two new character photos.

Celebrimbor was first revealed earlier in June, and now actor Charles Edwards has given more details on the series' take on the mysterious character.

«What we are spoiled with in this enterprise, particularly in my case, is that Celebrimbor is mentioned in The Lord of the Rings as the forger of the Rings--briefly,» Edwards said, explaining the freedom the production had in adapting his character. «He's not a footnote, but he's a sidenote. The other source for our shows is the appendices for The Lord of the Rings, in which Tolkien makes lots of notes and ideas about characters that aren’t quite set in stone.

»In order to start building a character, that’s very exciting," Edwards added. «There's a blueprint, but there hasn’t been any colouring in and it’s down to me and everyone else to create him. That has been really exciting. So, considering the two or three versions that Tolkien had of the character, which in themselves differ from each other, our version is a composite. And then a little bit more.

Explaining what Celebrimbor is like to play, Edwards calls him cautious, gullible, vain, and a brilliant craftsman--as you might expect
