Blair High School Alumna Cynthia Addai-Robinson Stars in New Lord of the Rings Television Series

Cynthia Addai-Robinson stars as Queen Regent Tar-Míriel in Amazon Prime’s highly anticipated The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. She was born on January 12, 1980, in London; her mother is from Ghana and her father was a U.S. citizen. She moved to the U.S. when she was 4 and was raised by her mother in Silver Spring, where she graduated from Blair High School in 1998.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiered last week with its first two episodes. The rest of the eight-episode first season is running until October 14. The show’s time period is before the events of The Hobbit and the original The Lord of the Rings.

Addai-Robinson also recently played the role of Ramona Garrity– a political strategist for the DNC (Democrat National Committee) in the Starz series, Power (which has plenty of MoCo ties), where she became a love interest for Main character James St. Patrick/Ghost in the final season of the show. She is also known for her roles as Naevia in the Starz television series Spartacus, DC Comics character Amanda Waller in The CW TV series Arrow, and Nadine Memphis on the USA Network series Shooter.
