Liam Cunningham

Liam Cunningham is the kind of actor I trust on sight. A former electrician from East Wall, Dublin, he carries a working-class steadiness into every role, and his Davos Seaworth on Game of Thrones became the show's moral anchor precisely because he underplays. He is not a flashy lead but a character actor who gives a production its spine, and sharing a BAFTA with Michael Fassbender for a short film shows real discernment in the projects he chooses. He also directs and produces, which tells me he understands the craft from every angle. These are the performers who only deepen with age.
