Liam Cunningham
Known for
Liam Cunningham was a Dublin electrician into his mid-twenties before trading the toolbox for drama school, a late start that shaped his unpretentious craft. He became one of Ireland's most respected actors through 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley' (2006) and Steve McQueen's 'Hunger' (2008), sharing a celebrated seventeen-minute dialogue scene with Michael Fassbender. Worldwide fame arrived as Davos Seaworth, the honest smuggler of 'Game of Thrones' (2012-2019), one of the show's most beloved figures. He has since led Netflix's '3 Body Problem' (2024) as the ruthless Thomas Wade. Gravel-voiced decency, with steel underneath, is his trademark.
