'Project Blue Book': After iconic roles on 'The Wire', 'Game of Thrones' and 'Peaky Blinders', Aidan Gillen stuns again with new History show

The recent lack of warm, inherently good-natured characters from Gillen is what spurs us to conclude that taking up the role of Dr. Hynek was quite the smart move for the actor

An actor's job might be to portray completely polar opposite characters on the screen, one after the other, but there has hardly been a contrast as striking as Irish actor Aidan Gillen's turnover from the crafter 'Littlefinger' in 'Game of Thrones' to the legendary Dr. J. Allen Hynek in the upcoming History channel show, 'Project Bluebook'. Of course, this goes without invalidating his credibility as an actor because between 'GoT' and the soon-to-be-arriving new show, Gillen has wowed us aplenty via performances in solid dramas, like 'The Wire', and the more recent 'Peaky Blinders', but this shift as Dr. Hynek is something different. In that, this is exactly what Gillen should have opted for when he could have done pretty much anything after 'Game of Thrones'.
