In 1994 Ethan performed the leading role of Haj the Poet during a BBC Radio concert version performance of Kismet. Here is one of the songs "Fate" part 1 and 2.
With Ethan's birthday coming up next month we thought it would be nice to look back on all the incredible roles he has performed over the years.
Currently imagining Arthur + Gwen + the knights asking someone (maybe druids?) who this famous "Emrys" is and they proceed to do a version of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" while Arthur, Gwen and the knights grow increasingly more distressed with each line and Merlin hyperventilates in the background
Let's be real if the Master was there during the Toymakers musical number he wouldn't be encouraging it he'd be screaming and crying like Barbie when Ken made the mojo dojo casa house
the thing that gets me when watching random merlin bts videos is just how much work went into producing this silly show... I'll make fun of the little blue sidhe and then they'll interview someone from the costume department going "yes the makeup took us 8 hours to put together :)" or one of the CGI guys will talk about how they spent months trying to figure out how to animate kilgharrah and I'll feel bad for ever laughing at the bad special effects. the beautiful sets, the gorgeous handsewn gowns, the music. so much love was poured into this project it makes me a bit emotional if I think about it too much
Merlin: Don't worry! Gwaine and I are going to take great care of you. It's your turn to lean on us now!
Arthur: *starts crying*
Merlin: ...why are you crying?
Arthur: BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE IN CHARGE AND THAT REALLY SCARES ME

doctor merlin in the 21st century: can you have— I have created butterflies from nothing and horses from smoke. I have seen empires rise, fall, crumble, and start from nothing but a fish in a poor man’s hand. I’ve fought witches and failed them too. I’ve laid waste to armies and blessed nations of people with health that will never make up for it. I have pantsed Kings and kissed Queens. I have stood upon the precipice of this world and called forth the ocean only for time to swallow me whole and spit me back out. And I would do it all again if I could grant you, dear Matilda, a lollipop.
little girl: strawberry?
merlin: say no more, Tilda, this should clear up the taste of that cold medicine right away
