His other credits include films Time Bandits, Brazil, Bridget Jones’s Diary as well as TV movie Longford that helped him earn a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination.

Production on season 7 of Game of Thrones will begin soon in Northern Island, as some of the stars have recently been spotted around Belfast. The new season will not air until summer 2017, later than its usual spring premiere, and will only consist of seven episodes.
