Last spring, a bold show with a dark heart brightened up our screens and reminded us once again that television can be a wonderful medium for in-depth storytelling, despite the likes of Jersey Shore poisoning impressionable minds. It may have helped that it has its roots in literature, but Game of Thrones had so many richly drawn characters that it was rarely dull. The terrific Peter Dinklage snagged most of the attention, and an Emmy, for his work, but there was another actor who particularly stood out: Mark Addy.

As gluttonous philanderer Robert Baratheon, Addy brought a commanding, dominating character to life in a most outstanding manner. The King ruled with impunity, doing whatever he felt like and to hell with the consequences. It’s an excellent performance by a top notch actor, but it’s not the first time that he’s excelled without grabbing the limelight.
