♫ When there’s something strange / in the Middle Earth woods / who’s a director gonna call? / Jed Brophy! ♫ Character actors often need to find a niche they can call their own, and the Kiwi thespian Brophy has essentially become a Lord of the Rings specialist. After making his admittedly unrecognizable mark playing two standout orcs in The Two Towers (the Warg-riding chief Sharku and the Sam-and-Frodo-battling Snaga), he received a juicer role as Bilbo’s hobbit pal Nori in The Hobbit trilogy. He’s even popped up as another orc (Vrath) in The Rings of Power Amazon Prime series. And while Lilac City Comic Con may have passed, nerdy meet-and-greets have not. Brophy journeys from Middle Earth to The Comic Book Shop’s Northtown location to sign memorabilia and take pictures with fans. So bring your preciouses and commune with fellow LotR fanatics.
