Rory McCann
as Sandor Clegane
Character Overview: Sandor Clegane is the younger brother of Gregor Clegane and a retainer to House Lannister. He is nicknamed “The Hound,” in part because his family arms feature three dogs, and in part for his savage nature in battle and unquestioning obedience to his masters. – Wikipedia
Actor Bio: Six foot six inches tall, Rory McCann from Glasgow began his working life at the top – as a painter on the Forth Bridge in Scotland. He came to notice in a television commercial for Scotts’ Porridge Oats in which he appeared as a scantily-clad hunk in a vest and kilt and little else wandering snowbound streets but warmed by the inner glow of the porridge. He claims that as a consequence he was often approached by people demanding that he “lift his kilt.” In 2002 he was seen in the TV comedy-drama The Book Group playing a wheelchair-bound lifeguard, a part for which he won a Scottish BAFTA award for the best television performance of 2002. Since then he has taken television roles as Peter the Great in Peter in Paradise (2003) and a priest in Shameless. He made his Hollywood debut in Oliver Stone’s Alexander. In 2007, he also appeared in Hot Fuzz as Michael Armstrong. He divides his time between homes in London and Glencoe, Scotland, where he aims to have his own castle. He is an accomplished singer, pianist and harmonica-player as well as an all-round sportsman. – IMDb & Wikipedia
