Aidan Gillen, who is best known for playing Petyr ‘Littlefinger’ Baelish on HBO’s wildly popular epic fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” has joined the cast of “Mayor of Kingstown” as a series regular. As reported by Deadline, Gillen will play Milo Sunter, “a leader of the Russian mob currently serving a life sentence in Kingstown’s supermax prison.”
Along with his role as Littlefinger on “Game of Thrones,” which he played for six years from 2011 to 2017, Gillen has appeared on shows such as History’s “Project Blue Book” and Netflix’s “Peaky Blinders.” Along with “Mayor of Kingstown,” Gillen also has another upcoming TV series in the chamber — a Western drama entitled “That Dirty Black Bag,” on which he stars alongside Dominic Cooper and Douglas Booth. As for films, Gillen has recently shown up in 2021’s “Those Who Wish Me Dead,” the 2018 Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and 2018’s “Maze Runner: The Death Cure.”
We can’t wait to see how Gillen’s new role on “Mayor of Kingstown” compares to his memorable performance as Littlefinger when the upcoming series premieres.
