Lenny Henry (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) has confirmed that he's playing a Harfoot – one of three breeds of hobbits in Lord of the Rings – in a BBC Sounds interview, but didn't reveal his character's name.

According to the actor's biography page on the Warring and McKenna management agency website, Merrells (Good Omens) will be playing an original character called Trevyn.

Lord of the Rings fans will know that the powerful elf was played by Cate Blanchett in the film trilogy. A series on this scale needs a huge cast, and Amazon's Lord of the Rings ensemble is absolutely stacked.
