Iain Glen, best known now as the endlessly faithful Jorah Mormont on "Game of Thrones," has been keeping busy with a number of projects, most of which you probably couldn't have seen even if you knew about them.
Glen is a Scottish actor, and most of his work has been done on the other side of the Atlantic. That remains true now, even though "Game of Thrones," which he exited shortly before its conclusion in 2019, certainly raised his profile in North America.
