To name just a few big productions: <strong>Game of Thrones<\/strong>, <strong>Doctor Who<\/strong>, the very enjoyable 2008 <strong>Merlin<\/strong> series, <strong>Black Sails<\/strong> and <strong>The Umbrella Academy<\/strong>, next to Ellen Page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Umbrella Academy<\/strong> is a new Netflix hype, an adaptation of the comic series by Gerard Way and Gabriel B\u00e1. Tom Hopper beautifully portrays Luther Hargreeves, aka Number 1 \/ Space Guy, the man with superhuman strength. It&#8217;s as if he&#8217;s never done anything else but perform in lead roles.<\/p>\n<p>He has of course had lots of practice in <strong>Black Sails<\/strong>, where he had the lead role of Billy Bones for 4 seasons straight, and in <strong>Merlin<\/strong>, where he portrayed the famous medieval knight character Sir Percival from 2010 until the end of the series in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In the massive production of <strong>Game of Thrones<\/strong>, he convincingly portrays Dickon Tarly, the brother of Samwell Tarly, in season 7.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to meet this amazing actor?
