Irish actor Jack Gleeson, who is best known for playing the nefarious King Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones, will star in the BBC’s upcoming TV adaptation of Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five novels.
Gleeson had previously quit acting in 2014, following the end of Joffrey’s character arc. The actor explained that he had started to find acting less enjoyable, and that he struggled with the notion of celebrity.
