The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Cast & Character Guide

The Lord of the Rings is one of the 21st century's greatest achievements, and the cast of Peter Jackson's lauded movies has a lot to do with that. Written by English high fantasy pioneer J.R.R. Tolkien and released in three parts between 1954 and 1955, The Lord of the Rings changed literature forever. The New Line Cinema Lord of the Rings movies were also split into three parts and named for each part of the novel, adapting Tolkien's novel with originality and a surprising amount of faithfulness. The cast tackled the book's characters fearlessly.
