Uh oh. A lot of non-Northern-European names in there.
Prepare yourselves.
While I hate the forced integration of historical era media, Tolkien does have diversity in his works. The Easterlings are equivalent to Central Asian raiders. The Haradrim are based on Middle Eastern or Arabic origins. Southerns are most likely Africans.

Most of the legendary figures in the LOTR story are mixed raced and their descendants

I don't know any of those names. I'm sure they'll be great.
Yep, I prefer it this way when it comes to TV shows. I wasn't familiar with 90% of the GoT cast so it really helps you latch on to the character more easily

Side note.
Christopher Tolkien just died.
I wouldn't be surprised if his kids just threw the lore to Hollywood for a huge payday.
Hopefully I'm wrong and they try to hold filmmakers to a standard. Christopher Tolkien was very upset at how the Hobbit was handled. That's why the Amazon deal had strict rules.
