“Hey, they were in Game of Thrones”—Where else have you seen these 55 GoT cast members? (Part 2)

8) MARK GATISS

You don’t know who Mark Gatiss is? Yes you do, because he is everywhere. The prolific British actor/writer/playwright does a nice turn as the snooty Braavosi banker Tycho Nestoris on Game of Thrones, but that’s just the tip of the Gatiss iceberg.

Gatiss is big on comedy, even if it’s at his own expense. He described his earliest memory to The Guardian: “[B]eing in my pushchair, and my mum plucking a branch of lilac from a tree and putting it in my lap. I was enchanted by it and then it exploded with earwigs. My life in a nutshell.”

Gatiss founded the popular comedy quartet The League of Gentlemen in 1996 and he’s been involved in a myriad of projects ever since. He works primarily in TV, and his credits include The Midsomer Murders ( 2010), Wolf Hall (2015), Sherlock (above, 2010-2017), Taboo (2017), Gunpowder (2017, below, with Thrones costar Kit Harington), The League of Gentlemen (1999-2017) and as a writer/producer/actor on Doctor Who (2007-2017).

The Doctor Who series has featured many actors seen in Thrones, including David Bradley, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Maisie Williams, Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Iain Glen, Tobias Menzies, Paul Kaye, Ian Beattie, Donald Sumpter, Liam Cunningham, Ron Donachie, Joe Dempsie, Tom Hopper, Ben Crompton, Faye Marsay and Diana Rigg. Gatiss is part of a long tradition.

“I was a very lazy child, but I think I’ve made up for it by being a workaholic,” Gatiss told The Guardian. Naturally, he’s got a number of projects coming down the pipe, including The Mercy, The Favourite and Christopher Robin in 2018 and Good Omens in 2019.
