When someone mentions working actors, chances are they have someone like Scottish actor Graham McTavish in mind. McTavish, who plays Ser Harrold Westerling in "House of the Dragon," has been acting since 1986, with one of his first roles opposite Denzel Washington in one of his worst movies, "For Queen & Country," in which he played the Lieutenant.
After two decades of mainly British television roles that prove he's a steady and hard-working actor, he had an audition for "Rambo" within days of moving to the United States. "It was just one of those mad moments," he told the Daily Record in 2008. "I thought I would just be meeting the casting director, but then I became aware that there were all these posters on the walls of Rambo and Rocky and it dawned on me I was in Sylvester Stallone's office." He was offered the role of Commander Lewis that afternoon.
Seven years later, McTavish would take on the role of trainer Tommy Holiday in "Creed," becoming the first and only person to act with Stallone in both the "Rambo" and "Rocky" franchises (via Movie Market).
