In Game Of Thrones

Ineson was a recurring presence during the second season of the show, appearing in five episodes as the brilliantly named Dagmer Cleftjaw. A noted reaver among the Ironborn, he encourages Theon in his taking of Winterfell and murder of Rodrick Cassel. However, with the threat of the Boltons looming, he turns against House Greyoy, knocking Theon unconscious and stabbing Maester Luwin, but it wasn't enough to stop Ramsay flaying him alive.

In Harry Potter

Ineson played a similarly despicable sort in Harry Potter, appearing as Amycus Carrow in the final three movies of the franchise. However, while he's undoubtedly a sadistic character, his role is very much reduced in the films: Bellatrix Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback take most of his lines, and his biggest moment - spitting in Professor McGonagall's face - was cut completely.

What Else

Outside of those two, he's best known for his role as Chris Finch in The Office (UK), while he's also had small parts in Guardians of the Galaxy and Kingsman: The Secret Service.
