Actor Jack Gleeson, best known for his as role the dangerous Boy King Joffrey Baratheon in HBO’s hit series GAME OF THRONES, talks about his hiatus from acting and his new project, IN THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS.
SYNOPSIS: Ireland, 1970s. Eager to leave his dark past behind, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson) leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country. But when a menacing crew of terrorists arrive, led by a ruthless woman named Doirean (Kerry Condon), Finbar is drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, forcing him to choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbors.
Gleeson’s other credits include Christopher Nolan’s BATMAN BEGINS and more recently, Sarah Pascoe’s BBC series OUT OF HER MIND. He can currently be seen in Nicolas Winding Refn’s adaptation of the THE FAMOUS FIVE for BBCOne, and can soon be seen in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s IN THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS opposite Liam Neeson, Ciarán Hinds and Kerry Condon. Jack is currently filming SAFE HARBOUR, by Mark Williams.
