Quinn's role in 'Game of Thrones'

In 'Game of Thrones' Season 7, Quinn portrays Koner, a Stark soldier posted with Henk at the entrance to Winterfell. The two have a most notable encounter with Arya Stark, who they are unable to identify. Koner and Henk end up fighting over how to handle her as she infiltrates the castle without their knowledge. Despite the fact that this was a minor role and less noteworthy than many of his other gigs, Quinn must have loved the opportunity to work with A-listers Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner.



 

Quinn's Early Career

Quinn is a relatively new name in the movie business. He landed his first significant role as Arthur Havisham on the television series 'Dickensian' in 2015, just after graduating from drama school — the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, no less.

Prior to taking on more roles in film, Quinn began his career by focusing more on stage. His role as Leonard Bast in the four-part miniseries 'Howard's End' helped him earn even more notoriety. Quinn was on Variety's list of 10 Actors to Watch in October 2022 and was getting ready for a bright future when he was chosen as the official face of the Gris Dior fragrance. 'Hoard,' a movie that will focus on a mother and daughter connection, is one of the forthcoming projects on Quinn's list. Although the release date for 'Hoard' has not yet been disclosed, fans are eager to see Quinn back on their screens, even if it won't be on 'Stranger Things'.
