<P> In the BBC's 1981 radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, Faramir is voiced by Andrew Seear . The radio drama is known for adhering faithfully to the books, and Peter Jackson gives BBC's 1981 radio adaptation credit in the production of his film trilogy . The characterisation of Faramir follows that of the original closely; the character is able to resist the One Ring, in direct contrast to the portrayal in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy . </P> <P> In Rankin / Bass' 1980 adaptation of The Return of the King, a dark - haired man is shown next to Éowyn in greeting Aragorn as he arrives to Minas Tirith . This character could be interpreted as Faramir . </P> <P> In the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, Faramir is played by David Wenham . The actor jokes that he got the role because he and Sean Bean, who played Boromir, both had large noses . Faramir and his brother's appearances were slightly altered from the book: in the films, they have fair hair and are slightly bearded, whereas in the book they were dark - haired and, following a statement in Unfinished Tales, lacked beards . </P> <P> The plot of the second film, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, introduces a significant deviation from the book: Faramir does not at first let Frodo, Sam, and Gollum go, but decides to bring them and the Ring to Gondor . He takes them to Osgiliath and not until the Nazgûl attack the city and Frodo comes under the threat of capture does he release them . </P>
