Moiraine Damodred: Rosamund Pike

Well, my dear readers, we have come to one of the bigger fish in this pond. Rosamund Pike, who will be starring as Moiraine in the upcoming series, holds much more career weight than most of her peers. While I have no doubt she’ll be able to take on the role of the cold and calculating Aes Sedai, let’s take a look together at what molded this Lady of the Silver Screen.

Filmography

London-born movie star Rosamund Pike began her acting career in 1998 as Celia in the made for TV movie A Rather English Marriage and sorting through her IMDB page that was the beginning of nearly a yearly project to present day. Her first major role was that of Miranda Frost in 2002’s Die Another Day; and then a few roles later Pike starred as Jane Bennet in 2005’s Pride and Prejudice. In the same year as P&P she played Samantha Grimm, sister of Karl Urban’s character in Doom. These are just some of the films that I have either seen or heard of from her early career. As I mentioned, Pike has had the grit to take on either singular or multiple projects every year for the last twenty plus years, so I am extremely confident that she will be able to deliver an amazing performance with all of this experience.

You want me to share a lifetime of knowledge with you in a single afternoon? Here we are, dear readers, approaching the time when we finally get to see these wonderful men and women bring our favorite characters to life. With performers as good as Pike in their ranks I cannot wait, as I often say, to experience it on the airing date.
