According to Collider, English actor Maxim Baldry has been tapped for a key role in Amazon’s forthcoming and highly-anticipated Lord of the Rings series.
The Second Age covered nearly 3,441 years, and it began after the banishment of Morgoth, the dark lord before Sauron.
Baldry might be a familiar face to some people from the 2007 comedy Mr. Bean’s Holiday starring alongside Rowan Atkinson.
That places approximately 3,000 years of history between the series and the beginning of The Lord of the Rings.
