Every orc on The Rings of Power has a personality - just ask the folks who made them

The struggle for orc rights is an undercurrent of The Rings of Power's second season, playing out in the background of the battle for Middle-earth.

The goal with Glûg, as with all orcs, was to make him feel like a distinct player in the orc horde.

I think something they were very keen to do in season 2 was expand on the scale of the orcs, and also be able to increase the possibility of seeing the actor beneath the prosthetic.

Orcs don't generally have a lot of dialogue - other than grunting, the practicality was definitely something we had to take into consideration.
