The Brit “stumbled into acting” in his late teens after being discovered by a modeling agency while playing guitar at a gig in London, which later led to his being cast in his first movie, Northern Soul. After a turn in BBC period drama Poldark, Josh Whitehouse scored a starring role in the Game of Thrones prequel — though HBO shockingly chose not to move forward with it after shooting the pilot. “To even have been cast in the role meant the absolute world to me,” says Whitehouse. “I count myself as very, very fortunate and I am excited to be back in the grind.” He’s also awaiting the release of his next three films: the David Lynch-produced The Happy Worker, a Valley Girl remake and Netflix’s The Knight Before Christmas. Whitehouse hopes to build a career as a character actor — but “If none of it works out, I’ll be a painter.”
