Gerard McSorley

After playing Michael Evans in the original West End and Broadway productions of Brian Friel's play Dancing at Lughnasa in the early 1990s, McSorley started to attract more TV and movie roles.

He has appeared in many Hollywood movies including Braveheart (in which his character "Cheltham" was decapitated by William Wallace at the battle of Stirling) and In the Name of the Father.

His film credits include The Constant Gardener, and he was also cast as Queenan in The Departed but had to pull out (Martin Sheen took over the role).

[citation needed] McSorley most recently played the role of Robert Aske in the Showtime historical drama The Tudors.

He appeared in the 2010 movie Robin Hood, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe.
