My Take
Anton Lesser is a perfect example of the kind of British character actor I treasure. A Royal Shakespeare Company associate with deep stage roots, he's brought that precision to screen as Qyburn in Game of Thrones, Harold Macmillan in The Crown, Chief Superintendent Bright in Endeavour, and Partagaz in Andor. That voice and that quiet menace make him unforgettable in supporting roles. He rarely plays the lead, but he's the sort of actor who elevates everyone around him. I have enormous respect for performers who built a lifetime of work on Shakespearean discipline rather than chasing fame, and Lesser is exactly that.
