Viggo Mortensen, who played the ranger-turned-king Aragorn, followed ‘The Return of the King’ with the western ‘Hidalgo,’ staying close to his rugged, heroic image. Since then, he’s worked consistently across film, delivering standout performances in ‘The Road,’ ‘Captain Fantastic,’ and the Oscar-winning ‘Green Book’ in 2018. Andy Serkis, who redefined performance capture with his portrayal of Gollum, became one of the most influential figures in modern visual effects acting. His work paved the way for roles like Caesar in the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise and Supreme Leader Snoke in ‘Star Wars.’ He is now stepping behind the camera, directing ‘Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,’ which is set to hit theaters in 2027. Sean Bean, who played Boromir, went on to have a successful Hollywood career with roles in ‘National Treasure,’ ‘Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief,’ and ‘The Martian’ in 2015. On TV, he reached an even higher level of fame as Ned Stark in ‘Game of Thrones,’ despite only appearing in the show’s first season.
