Reversed places

[Nazgûl-king]

David Welham who plays Faramir in the films, said in an interview found on the Return of the King video game:

But Faramir and Boromir were brothers, and it is not beyond reason that Faramir could have gone to Rivendell instead. If that happened Faramir could have survived and returned to Gondor.

I’m not sure if that is an exact quote as I haven’t watched the interview recently, but it seems to imply that David thought his character would have survived.
