Does anyone have anything to say about actor Bruce Payne being Sauron in later adaptations of J.R.R Tolkien's books to come?

Answer 1

I think that Bruce Payne would be great as Sauron. Payne is a magnificent actor who has received many plaudits for playing villains such as the psychopathic Charles Rane in 'Passenger 57', the werewolf Adam Garou in 'Full Eclipse', the wacky FBI agent Karl Savak in 'One Tough Bastard', the vengeful Jacob Kell in 'Highlander: Endgame' and the domineering Damodar in 'Dungeons and Dragons' and 'Dungeons and Dragons 2: The Wrath of the Dragon God'. Payne likes to spend as much time as possible immersing himself in his roles and would, i believe, give Sauron a darker edge than most other actors

It is a little known fact that there is a character known as the Necromancer, who is referenced within the 'TheHobbit', who is actually Sauron and is subsequently discovered to be so. Once the true identity of the Necromancer is comprehended, he is driven out of the Fortress of Dol Guldur in Greenwood the great, where he was residing, by the White Council, and returns to Mordor.

If Peter Jackson decides to include the Necromancer in his films 'The Hobbit Part 1' and 'The Hobbit Part 2' (the latter of which will be a entirely new story which will at as a bridge between 'The Hobbit' and 'The Fellowship of the Ring'), Payne could theoretically be cast in the role.
