My Take
Iain Glen is the kind of actor who makes you wish more blockbuster franchises had the good sense to cast a classically trained Scotsman from Edinburgh as their brooding heavy. I first noticed him in the Resident Evil films as Dr. Isaacs — genuinely menacing in a way that felt almost out of place in a zombie action movie, in the best possible way — but Game of Thrones is where I think he truly found his signature role. Jorah Mormont is a guy defined by unrequited loyalty and quiet heartbreak, and Glen played that with so much restraint and dignity that you felt every rejected glance. University of Aberdeen, a career split across stage, film, and television — he never chased flash, and that's exactly what made him stand out from everyone who did.
