Among modern actors, it is quite easy to recognize those who prefer to follow a specific beaten path: someone chooses only comedy roles, someone only acts in dramatic films, and someone most often appears on screen in the role of the main antagonist.
One of the most prominent representatives of the profession, whose name is associated with two epic roles in equally epic franchises, can safely be called the British actor David Bradley, best known for his role as Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films. However, Bradley has another, much more villainous role, and it is directly related to the most terrible episode of Game of Thrones.
David Bradley played Walder Frey in Game of Thrones
Argus Filch is certainly not one of the most beloved Harry Potter characters, but even he doesn't seem so bad compared to Walder Frey, who Bradley played in the third season of Game of Thrones. Frey's name is associated with the most shocking episode of the series, called the Red Wedding, in which Robb Stark and his mother Catelyn are killed in the most horrific way, and the order to commit the massacre is given by none other than Walder Frey.
The new Argus Filch in the Harry Potter series has a tough job ahead of him
David Bradley proved his "villainous" talent even before Game of Thrones, when he played Filch in the film series - the actor managed to clearly show why his character was so eager to make the lives of Hogwarts students a living nightmare so that Filch himself could feel a little better. Bradley also captured the tragic side of the character's life beautifully, so Paul Whitehouse, who will play Filch in the upcoming HBO series, will have a hard time matching his performance.
