The boy, Tyroe, I think is Amroth

The young boy, Tyroe Muhaffadin, has surely got to be an "elf-child". He just has to be, given that he has the most Elven ears I've ever seen (naturally) and a very angelic face. If he's not a Elf-boy, then it's the biggest lost opportunity I've seen.
I'm going to guess that Tyroe is Amroth, son of Galadriel in the major Unfinished Tales version of her history in the Second Age. We know from the leaked audition scripts that Eldien (Galadriel) has a "son" whom she is very protective of. Beldor refers to him in one of the leaked scenes:
Beldor: Go home Eldien! If not for yourself… do it for your son.
Eldien: For the sake of the long path we have walked together I’ll dismiss your words as carelessness, but if you ever use my family against me our friendship is over!
If Tyroe is not the "son" (i.e. Amroth), I'd be truly surprised - as he looks like an Elf - and he's in the main cast, so Galadriel's "son" is the obvious candidate.
The fact that this Amazon Galadriel has a 'son' would indicate that their following the UT account, and that he's Amroth (yep, the one who grew up to become the King of Lórien and fall in love with the lower-class Silvan elf Nimrodel, who lived there, to tragic effect).
I have no idea which actor his dad, Celeborn, might be. Maxim Baldry, who is no longer here (at least in this batch), could convincingly have portrayed his father given some physical resemblances between them. Perhaps Celeborn is one of the key roles yet to be cast.
Owain Arthur could be a dwarf or a Drug (Drúedain). I saw the video of the leaked audition script for a character called Brac, who appeared to be some kind of Middle-earth native living in Númenor, who found the urban living not to his liking. I think he's a Drug - the actor playing seemed to be portraying a not-entirely-human character (Drúedain are Men but of a very unique kind). The guy second along top looks to me like he could comvingly portray the same archetype and he even has a physical resemblance to the rejected auditionee I saw:
Brac: I don’t know how you do it. There’s far too much built here. It’s too bright.
Radagar: It’s the dead of night.
Brac: And yet it feels like noon-day. The night should be a blanket, wrapped around keen and close air. It’s far too wide here, disconnected. I can’t ever quite escape the feeling that it’s all about to fall over. I think I’ll take off tomorrow, head back to my homeland.
Radagar: But you’ve only just arrived!
Brac: Yes, and I appreciate both your queen’s hospitality and your own… But I miss the fields and the night skies and Emma. I miss Emma.
Radagar: Very well. But there is something I need to ask of you.Brac: Spit it out, then.
Radagar: The queen…
Brac: Radagar…
Radagar: She wanted me to tell you that our people will make amends for each yield of crop you lost during our wars.Brac: Well, it’s a great relief to know that there’s still some honor left in the west. But let us not talk of politics and grievances tonight. Tell me the old tales of your people.
