Ian McNeice (born 2 October 1950) is a prolific English screen, stage, and television character actor.
McNeice has also appeared in a number of films, including 84 Charing Cross Road, Day of the Dead, No Escape, From Hell and The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. His breakthrough into American films occurred when he played opposite Jim Carrey as Fulton Greenwall in (1995). He played Nazi Gerhard Klopfer in the 2001 BBC/HBO TV movie Conspiracy, dramatising the Wannsee Conference. Since then he has been in Around the World in 80 Days (2004), and the 2005 drama/supernatural thriller White Noise. He also appeared as Potiphar in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
He has also applied his distinctive voice and accent to voice-acting roles: the Vogon character Kwaltz – director of the Vogon Constructor Fleet – in the 2005 film adaptation of Douglas Adams' multi-format creation The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; and in 2007 when he made his Doctor Who debut guest-starring as villain Zeus in the Big Finish BBC Digital Radio 7 / CD-released drama Immortal Beloved, starring Paul McGann (as the Eighth Doctor). He had a cameo role of Joachim von Kortzfleisch, a German general who refused to put his troops under the command of officers plotting to depose Hitler's government in Valkyrie.
On October 21, it was announced that Ian McNeice will be playing the role of Illyrio Mopatis in the HBO pilot of Game of Thrones, based on the series of books A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. A month later the role was recast to Roger Allam because of scheduling conflicts. He appeared as Winston Churchill in three episodes of the 2010 series of Doctor Who, starring Matt Smith as the Doctor, and returns to the role for the 2011 series. He had previously played Churchill in the 2008 premiere production of the Howard Brenton play Never So Good.
