Actor B.J. Hogg was an accomplished Northern Irish character actor with some solid screen credits. Before joining Westeros for HBO, he had a long career on stage, in major films, and on British television. In the 1980s, Kent had a recurring role on “Foreign Bodies,” and the early ’90s delivered him recurring roles on five separate shows, including the miniseries “The Hanging Gale” and the Cold War spy series “Children of the North,” which also starred Michael Gough.
By the end of the 1990s, he had transitioned into mostly film roles, including the Oscar-nominated step-dancing short film “Dance Lexie Dance.” He also made appearances in the Cary Elwes and Timothy Dalton TV film “The Informant,” the Irish horror film “Resurrection Man,” and the Ireland-set films “The Brylcreem Boys,” “Divorcing Jack,” and “Titanic Town.”
While his most well-known role is that of Ser Addam Marbrand, of House Marbrand, in the first season of “Game of Thrones,” the performer also appeared in the British series “The Secret” and “The Fall,” and he had small roles in the films “Your Highness,” “City of Ember,” and “The Windermere Children.” The latter film, as well as his role as Big Mervyn in the BBC Northern Ireland series “Give My Head Peace,” capped off his career. He played Mervyn for more than 20 years, debuting in 1998 until his death in 2020. He was 65 years old.
