Rory McCann

In the work of Scottish actor Rory McCann more than 30 works in feature films and TV series, but the star hour of this incredibly tall man came with the role of cynical and cruel Sandor Kligan from the television saga "Game of Thrones". Rory loves this ambiguous image, but popularity weighs on. In 2019, fans of the fantastic saga will once again be able to enjoy the game of a talented actor - the owner of a bright appearance.

Indigenous Scot Rory McCann was born in April 1969 in Glazko. The man is very secretive and reluctant to share with journalists the details of life, so little is known about the early years of the actor. The boy grew thin and short, so his peers constantly teased him. In his youth suddenly reached upwards and reached impressive dimensions - The height of Rory is 198 cm.

Excessive thinness as a child led to the gym, with which McCann never parted. Another favorite pastime was rock climbing. When the young man matured, classmates and friends gave him the nickname "big."

The future star of TV screens studied at the school, where he got the profession of forester. Rory managed to work as a bridge painter, carpenter and even landscape designer. One day a young man was invited to star in an advertisement for "Scott's Porage Oats".

This episode is recalled with pleasure - in a funny video McCann appeared in a Scottish national costume. Such a colorful debut on television was the beginning of the creative path as an actor of British cinema and TV series, because Rory then met with representatives of the industry.

Rory McCann was seriously engaged in rock climbing, and went out into the mountains alone. From this fascination and began the way into the acting profession. Going on another hike, the man took in partners familiar director Lynn Ramsey. She was so impressed with the colorful stories about her friend's climbing exploits that six months later she called and announced that Rory had a small role in the new film.

As the actor said, at that time he cut down trees in the forests of Glazko and did not think about a career in the cinema, even tried to resist. However, the director insisted, and the man starred in the film "Krysols" (1999) in such a tiny role that was not even marked in the credits.

This was followed by occasional appearances in the films "London Burns," "Brothers in Mind," in tv projects "The Boss of the Valley" and "Detective and The Cast." Rory began to enter the taste and decided to connect life with the cinema, especially offers from the filmmakers came with enviable regularity.

The first work that brought the novice actor success was a multi-series comedy "The Book Club". Rory, who played a former disabled lifeguard named Kenny McLeod, won the British BAFTA Award and was named best television actor in 2002. Another brilliant role went to the television series "Shameless", which was awarded a scattering of awards. In it, Rory was reincarnated as a priest. In the piggy bank of the creative biography of the artist there is even the role of Peter I in the TV movie "Peter in Paradise".

McCann's Hollywood debut came in 2004. Brutal man appeared in all magnificence in the film "Alexander" directed by Oliver Stone. Here Rory tried on the image of Crater, the leader of the foot bodyguards in the army of Alexander the Great.

American directors continued to actively invite the artist to shoot. Rory McCann was cast a modest role in the blockbuster "Battle of the Titans", the man met with Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman on the set of the adventure film "Witch Time."

A breakthrough to Rory's film career was 2011 - joined the film crew of the fantasy epic HBO channel "Game of Thrones", based on the series of novels by George R.R. Martin "Song of Ice and Flame." The role of a cruel, ruthless killer with the tragic fate of Sandor Kligan named Dog brought McCann worldwide fame.

Rory managed to ingeniously convey a multifaceted image of a strong and dangerous Cligan: the bodyguard of King Joffrey with an intimidating appearance, the winner of chivalrous tournaments, an outlandish, wandering around the world, a noble knight and savior of little girls.

The dog, unlike many of the characters in the project, managed to stay alive until the end of Season 7. One look is enough to understand - Sandor Kligan easily breaks a man in half, but he is not alien and romantic features. Such an ambiguous hero turned out to be a wonderful thing from Rory, critics admit.

Casting for the role of Clygan passed dozens of actors, but on McCann stopped George Martin. The defining moment for the choice was the dimensions of the man: looking for Clygan strong and frightening. And yet it wasn't just appearance that influenced the choice. The author of the saga shared his impressions of the audition:

Filming in the television epic McCann combined with work in other film projects. He has starred in Strictly West, Banished and Three X: World Domination.

Rory carefully hides his personal life from the public. In order not to ask unnecessary questions, recently the actor gave an interview at home, where he put everything on the shelves. McCann said he had no wife, no children and no mortgage, which makes him very happy. I am sure that if he were married, the path to the acting path would have been ordered:

In the work you have to intersect with beautiful women, but 80% of them the man considers "insane" and tries to avoid close contact. Rory has never had an affair with actresses. He lives in two houses - in London and Glasgow, dreams of his own castle. In his fleet of powerful car X-Bow GTR.

He admits that a lot of energy takes away work, sports training and hobbies. He still conquers the mountains, most of the year lives on a yacht in the sea. Rory carries hard popularity, even dreams of becoming invisible, when fans, meeting the idol, shout "It's a dog!" Jokes that the boat saves from the obsessive attention of fans - as soon as someone gets too close, gets on the yacht and swims away.

Rory McCann has been passionate about music since his youth, still sings and plays a scattering of musical instruments, including bayan and piano. However, none has mastered to perfection. The actor's house is filled with speakers, amplifiers and wires so hard to move around.

On the set of "Game of Thrones" Rory organized a music group called "Brotherhood Without Banjos" (played "brotherhood without banners" from the series), in which the actors play and sing rock. For example, Carys van Houten (played by Melissadra) is excellent solo, and John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) is controlled with drums. After the project puts a stop, the band members plan to record an album. Rory jokes:

Now McCann is involved in filming the sequel to the fantasy saga "Game of Thrones," the eighth season is scheduled to show viewers in 2019.

Fans hope that the Dog will meet again with Arya Stark and avenge his brother Gore for the injuries suffered by his hands as a child. But in the interview, the actor, of course, does not open the cards even slightly.
