Ser Jorah and the Stage‑Born Actor

 Iain Glen is a classically trained Scottish actor best known as Ser Jorah Mormont on Game of Thrones and for roles in the Resident Evil films; born 24 June 1961 in Edinburgh and trained at RADA, his career spans stage, film, and television from the mid‑1980s to today.


A stage‑bred actor with screen gravitas

Born Iain Alan Sutherland Glen on 24 June 1961 in Edinburgh, Glen built his foundation in theatre before becoming a familiar face on screen; he studied at the University of Aberdeen and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where he won early recognition and awards that signalled a serious theatrical talent.

Breakthroughs and early acclaim

Glen’s early film work earned critical notice: his performance in Silent Scream (1990) brought him the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival, an accolade that helped establish him as a performer capable of intense, layered roles on film as well as stage.

The role that made him a household name

For many viewers worldwide, Glen became synonymous with Ser Jorah Mormont, the conflicted, loyal knight in HBO’s Game of Thrones (2011–2019). His portrayal—equal parts devotion, regret, and moral complexity—turned Jorah into one of the series’ most memorable supporting figures and introduced Glen to a global audience while showcasing the emotional depth he honed in theatre work.

Franchise work and leading TV roles

Beyond Westeros, Glen has taken on a variety of screen projects: he played Dr Alexander Isaacs/Tyrant across multiple entries in the Resident Evil film series and carried the title role in the Irish crime drama Jack Taylor, demonstrating his ability to lead both genre franchises and gritty, character‑driven television.

What makes Glen a director’s choice

Directors repeatedly cast Glen for roles that require theatrical discipline, quiet intensity, and moral ambiguity. His stage background gives him a command of language and presence that translates into characters who feel lived‑in—men who are honourable, haunted, or quietly dangerous rather than simply archetypal. That blend of training and screen experience explains his steady work across decades and genres.
