Passion Podcast!

July 20th, 2026 | Posted in News

The second of the podcasts I interviewed for just dropped today, and it’s really different from your usual podcast format. Chris Johnson‘s Passion Podcast is unique in a few ways.

The two characters also gave me an opportunity to contrast their looks in the caricature. Legolas is long and regal with a kind of ethereal beauty, while Gimli is wide, disheveled, and coarse. Orlando Bloom is Legolas and Jonathan Rhys-Davies is Gimli. READ MORE
