My Take
Dormer is the kind of actor who never quite headlines yet anchors everything he touches. As Beric Dondarrion he made repeated resurrection feel weary and human, and his Dan Anderssen in Fortitude carried a whole frozen town on his shoulders. What I admire most is his theatre and playwriting roots from Northern Ireland; you can feel a stage-trained gravity in how he holds silence. He isn't chasing celebrity, he's carving characters, and that craftsman's seriousness is increasingly rare. For my money he's a textbook example of a supporting player who quietly outshines the leads.
