Iwan Rheon

Iwan Rheon possesses a chameleonic ability that has defined his career: the capacity to be utterly convincing as both the vulnerable hero and the monstrous antagonist. He first captured attention in the UK as Simon Bellamy in 'Misfits,' a shy, awkward teen who gains the power of invisibility, earning him a BAFTA nomination and a cult following. That made his subsequent casting as Ramsay Bolton in 'Game of Thrones' all the more shocking. Rheon transformed into a character of pure, sadistic cruelty, his performance a masterclass in quiet menace that made him one of the most viscerally hated figures on television. This dramatic range underscores his talent; he can shift from playing a sensitive musician in 'The Dirt' to a brooding historical figure with equal conviction. A trained musician who writes and performs his own folk-influenced songs, Rheon brings a thoughtful, artistic sensibility to every role, ensuring that even his darkest characters possess a disturbing, believable humanity.
