He may have portrayed television's most-hated villain at the height of the Game of Thrones phenomenon, but there's no arguing with the resumé that Kinsale-born actor Jack Gleeson has built since his time on the show as King Joffrey came to an end in 2014. 

Having achieved worldwide recognition at a relatively young age, the actor has since focused on developing a body of work in theatre, working as an actor and dramaturg, including trips to Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London's Soho Theatre.
