What "Game of Thrones" actor is also in the 2018 TV series "Deep State"?
Answer
Joe Dempsie
Answer
Joe Dempsie
Joe Dempsie is the Game of Thrones actor who also appeared in the 2018 television series Deep State.
Dempsie played Gendry in Game of Thrones, the son of King Robert Baratheon and a skilled blacksmith whose storyline became increasingly important late in the series. He first appeared in the show during its first season and returned after a lengthy absence, making Gendry one of the series' notable recurring characters.
In Deep State, Dempsie played Harry Clarke, a field agent connected to former MI6 operative Max Easton, played by Mark Strong. The British espionage thriller premiered in 2018 and was created by Matthew Parkhill and Simon Maxwell. Dempsie appeared across the show's two seasons, which ran from 2018 to 2019.
A common mix-up is to identify Dempsie only with the fantasy genre because of Gendry. His earlier work also included Chris Miles in the British teen drama Skins, while Deep State placed him in a contemporary political-thriller setting.
