View this post on Instagram Instagram Post In a 2022 Comic-Con interview, Owain Arthur reportedly commented on his role in the upcoming series, saying, "It was one of those things that when I got cast as Durin and I got to play a dwarf, it was like, ‘Yes! I get to wear prosthetics. I get to wear a wig and carry a beard and put all these glorious costumes on.’ And the majority of the time I have to say I’ve been quite negative of it." He added, "I loved it, I’ve absolutely loved it, and it was an honor really to be able to put it on – as painful and tiring as it was."

Owain Arthur plays Prince Durin IV prince of Khazad-dûm

View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Durin IV was the fourth monarch to bear the name Durin. Like the previous three, many people believe he is the reincarnation of Durin I because of their uncanny similarities. He was seen wearing the power ring bestowed upon his predecessor Durin III and will most likely reign during the War of the Last Alliance. He serves as the prince of Khazad-dûm, a thriving underground kingdom. Reports introduced Owain Arthur's Durin IV, saying: "Their father is Durin III, the ruler of Khazad-dûm, and one of the original holders of the Dwarven Rings of Power. These Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, or Moria as it is later known, contribute heavily to several key conflicts across JRR Tolkien's Second Age that The Rings of Power is likely to portray, including the fall of the Dark Lord Sauron at the end of the Second Age." View this post on Instagram Instagram Post In an interview with CBS, when asked about his dwarven representation and thoughts on being a part of the legendary narrative, Arthur responded, stating that it has been nothing less than "an honor." Talking about his appearance, he added, "For me, my beard is in about 16 pieces, and throughout the various stages of the build, you kind of go, 'Oh, there he is!' [laughs] It wasn't until those last little cones, right here [on the cheekbones] -- it was like, 'There he is! Off you go to work!'" Tune in to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video this Friday at 9 pm ET to get the first glimpse of Owain Arthur's Prince Durin IV.
