Throughout the nineties he made guest appearances in virtual every police procedural on British TV at the time: Inspector Morse, The Bill, Heartbeat, and Midsomer Murders all saw him popping up for an episode. Interestingly enough, the Inspector Morse appearance would turn out to be a future echo…more of that later, though! I’m Bored Of This. Guest appearances on TV kept coming his way until 2007 saw him land the role of Peter Mannion in the political comedy The Thick Of It. If you have even a passing interest in politics and aren’t worried by seeing a former Doctor Who as the angriest, rudest, sweariest man to ever appear on a TV screen, then I recommend The Thick Of It. A repeatable Peter Mannion one…”Have you ever Googled your own name? It’s like opening a door to a room where everyone tells you how shit you are.” It is an endless tirade of very clever insults and put-downs. On his way to entering the political bear pit, Peter also had a couple of sword and sorcery type outings one was Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire and the other was a little known programme called Game Of Thrones. Kings Lack The Caution Of Common Men 2011 – Game Of Thrones with Harry Lloyd & Emilia Clarke He was General Arcadius in Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire which, I’ll admit, I’ve never seen, but I have seen Game Of Thrones. The part Roger Allam plays in Game Of Thrones is small but quite pivotal. He played Magister Illyrio Mopatis and he was the chap who brokered the marriage between Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa). Still can’t place him? He’s the chap who delivers the line…”A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.” He doesn’t have a lot to do in the TV adaptation but does figure a bit more in the books. Meanwhile, our Mr Allam was appearing in a few films V For Vendetta, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Woman in Black, and he took the lead in the comedy The Hippopotamus. During his film work, he’s shared screen time with Ian McKellen, Maggie Smith, Meryl Streep, and Helen Mirren. That’s The Beauty Of Vodka… 2011 – Cabin Pressure with John Finnemore, Stephanie Cole, & Benedict Cumberbatch Trust me, with a voice of that timbre and resonance you can hold your own in any company.
