Dean-Charles Chapman

Dean-Charles Chapman is a British film, stage and television actor best known for his roles in Billy Elliot; appearing in both the original London performance, and later taking over the lead role in the 2009 revival.

He was cast for the third season of Game of Thrones in the role of Martyn Lannister. Chapman has returned for Season 4, playing the role of Tommen Baratheon.

After being cast as Tommen Baratheon, Dean told Vulture at the season-four premiere party that he was surprised to discover that his character was next in line for the Iron Throne. "I was like, Whoa!" he said. "I know it sounds silly, but I hadn't read the scripts, and I didn't know what had happened. And then I flew over to Belfast so they could dress me for wardrobe, and the lady said, 'Okay, let's get your crown on.' And I was like, 'Crown?' 'Yeah, you know, you're going to be king!' So I just stood there, looking in the mirror, with this thing on my head, stunned."
