Bernard Hill
aka King Theoden/captain Edward Smith/philos
Lord Of The Rings - Titanic - The Scorpion King - ...
And here’s the 6th actor to join our Lord of the Rings Reunion in the Heart of Europe.
Our next guest played an iconic role as King Theoden in the Lord Of The Rings film series.
When Théoden is first introduced, he is weak from age and grief and from the machinations of his top advisor, Grima Wormtongue, who does nothing while his kingdom crumbles. But once awakened by Gandalf, he becomes an important ally in the war against Saruman and Sauron.
Even after all these years, his speech continues to give goosebumps to many fans.
He also plays the role of the captain in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time: James Cameron’s Titanic.
And if that wasn’t enough, he plays the role of Philos alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the classic: The Scorpion King.
Whether we think of King Theoden’s iconic speech in Lord Of the Rings or the true heroic role of a captain who tried to save all his passengers on his sinking ship but died in the process, everyone can agree that these incredible roles left no spectator untouched. It is truly a great honor to welcome the one and only Bernard Hill at Comic Con Brussels 2024!
