As far as I can tell, there exists an unfortunate dearth of Timothy Olyphants everywhere.
Very true.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

He's in a buttload of stuff. Totally a hey it's that guy.
He is! We binged Deadwood, shortly before Justified, and Pruitt Taylor Vince is in it. * I'm pretty sure his character gets killed * in Deadwood, * but when he showed up in Justified, I was thinking * he'd just died in Justified, which he then promptly did. *
Basically, between Lost, Supernatural, Deadwood, and Justified, I'm doing a whole lot of Hey It's that Guy-ing.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Amazon's LoTR series puts out a casting call for actors "comfortable with nudity":
Ugh. Do not want. (Like Matt said, I have no issues with it in appropriate venues, but it does not belong in Middle Earth.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Re Middle Earth nudity - I just can't imagine what they are going for with that so I'm reserving judgment in ase it is actually somehow a good idea? But not because, 'yeah I can see why that might be a good idea', more in the way of "why would anyone do that, I don't understand, they must mean something else"

That's just not what I'm looking for in my Middle Earth media.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I can see ways the nudity would make sense - say the orcs don't really wear full clothing. You'd need actors comfortable with nudity for that and an intimacy coordinator would be welcome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's what I want to do - be an "intimacy coordinator" for the movies.
"Cut! Tape that dick down before he hurts someone! Ma'am, you're going for orgasmic pleasure, not writhing agony, try to breathe! Okay, everybody back to one!"

Intimacy coordinators are there to protect performers from sexual harassment in the workplace, in the form of being coerced into scenes, blocking etc. that make/s them feel uncomfortable or that violates their contract stipulations. The talent can discuss their needs with the coordinator who looks out for them on the set, so the actors don't have to make their every objection known to the director and their co-stars. Intimacy coordinators also can protect a production from accusations that actors were exploited. They're a good idea, when used correctly. From SAG-AFTRA: [link]

Yeah. That's where I am.

I can see it, and you're right about the coordinator's role. I don't think nudity brings anything to the story of Middle Earth.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I hadn't thought about orcs, but that could be an issue. Likewise if any giants, trolls, or other humanoid things that human-sized clothing wouldn't work for appear. Or maybe human/elven/dwarven prisoners of war or slaves who are stripped down. I guess it wouldn't have to be sexually-tinged nudity to need a watchdog on set.
