Ema Horvath admits she ‘learned from everyone’ in the all-star cast of LOTR series

Ema Horvath has revealed appearing alongside an all-star cast in Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power was like ‘going back to her theatre troupe days.’

The actress, 28, is set to star as the character Eärien, a lady of the Second Age, in the much-anticipated Amazon Prime series, which will begin on Friday, September.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline at the world premiere of the series in London, Horvath said she learned a lot about the craft of acting from her co-stars. 

‘It was amazing, because there was 22-23 of us and it was like going back to theatre troop days,’ Horvath began.

‘And everyone sort of has a different acting background, so you learn for everyone.’

Stars of the series include the likes of Sir Lenny Henry, Morfydd Clark and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

She added that when she snagged the coveted role in the series, she only had a ‘surface-level’ of understanding about the Tolkien universe but ‘dove into it’ once she got the part. 

‘I had a very surface level understanding of it when I got the job,’ Horvath admitted. 

‘I had done a play, [played] Bombur the dwarf, I knew The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, but it wasn’t until I got the job I really dove into it.’

She added that she was ‘relieved’ when she got the part after having waited three weeks to hear back from producers. 

‘It was amazing, because there was 22-23 of us and it was like going back to theatre troop days,’ Horvath said

The Rings of Power was adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s book of origin tales called The Silmarillion, which was edited and published in 1977 posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien.

J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay’s $450M-budget eight-episode prequel series will stream its first two episodes on September 2.

Morfydd Clark took over the role of the fairest royal Elf Galadriel in the TV spin-off, originally played by two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett in the Peter Jackson films.

In the trailer, Galadriel is a sword-wielding commander pushing her soldiers to ‘keep moving’ and battling beasts.

‘There is a tempest in me,’ Galadriel ominously says in the preview. ‘Without [my sword], what am I to be?’

‘It’s been really exciting to explore, like when playing a canon character, how they become who you know them to be,’ Morfydd told TheWrap last week.

‘There [is a line] Galadriel speaks at one point about how with wisdom, there is a loss of innocence, and that’s something I really focused on – that she’s got to lose some innocence, she’s got to gain some wisdom to become the lady of Lothlórien that we know her to be.’

Clark added: ‘I’m really excited for my friends and family to see it. Everyone on this show was separated [in New Zealand] from those that they loved. And so for them to see what I was actually up to, I’m really looking forward to.’
