My Take
Rory McCann is one of those actors whose physical presence does half the work before he speaks. As Sandor Clegane in Game of Thrones he turned a scarred brute into something genuinely tragic, balancing menace with a buried vulnerability around fire. I appreciate how he plays his own size, comedic as Lurch in Hot Fuzz, monstrous in Jumanji, and now lending that bass rumble to Megatron in Transformers: EarthSpark. That Glaswegian solidity changes the temperature of a scene the moment he appears. I tend to favour character actors like him who anchor a production rather than dominate the poster, and McCann does exactly that.
