Kingdom Come: Deliverance's Henry actor Tom McKay reveals who he wants to play in a Lord of the Rings game

Kingdom Come: Deliverance's Tom McKay has some thoughts on who he would play in a potential Lord of the Rings game, though really, he'd be happy to play anyone.

McKay has provided the voice of Henry of Skalitz, the protagonist of both Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, and was recently nominated for best lead performer for the role at the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards.

With KCD developer Warhorse Studios rumoured to be making a Lord of the Rings game, Radio Times Gaming asked McKay on the red carpet who he would like to play in Warhorse's Middle Earth.

"There are loads," he began. "You know, those worlds are filled with such incredibly rich complex characters. I mean, definitely a kind of Aragorn vibe would be great.

"But there are so many. And actually, if I were to do it – and I flatter to think that anybody would want me to do it – I'd probably rather nudge it away from the Henry vibes a little bit. I quite like playing a sort of broad palette of characters."

McKay proceeded to flip the script and ask us who we thought he should play in a Lord of the Rings game, to which we said we'd like to see him as Pippin.

"Yeah, yeah!" he replied, I could definitely throw my hand in at that!"

Since the interview, other fan casts that have arisen include everyone from Bilbo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee to Saruman, but perhaps the most popular choice has been the one and only Tom Bombadil.

Last year's Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a smash hit for Warhorse Studios, selling more than 5 million copies and raking in a slew of awards.

Reports last month that the studio is moving on to an open world Lord of the Rings game will no doubt be a bitter pill for fans of KCD, but considering the quality of the series, there many be no better studio in the world right now to take such a project on.

We just hope that, if it does come to pass, there's a place in the Shire reserved just for Tom.
