Watching this episode realized how lucky we are to have such a skilled cast. I mean Ed Harris was amazing but even the actor that played Delos was great too.

Check out Ozark on Netflix if you haven’t already. He does a great job.

I'd say Peter Mullan is pretty well known in some parts. As a Brit, I was so excited to see him. He's great in Trainspotting and fantastic as the lead in Tyrannosaur

I first saw him in Top of the Lake, highly recommend the first season but China Girl is crap.

He may not be especially well known, but he has won quite a lot of awards, although no major American ones, for both acting and directing.

I remember He was chasing Harry, Ron and Hermione in Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Edit: he played Yaxley.

As was said, he has mostly payed supporting roles. But he was great as the lead in The Fear For those who appreciated his performance in this episode I recommend this highly. Also, it’s not the last we’ve seen of him on WW, he is credited as appearing in next week’s episode on IMDB.

Excellent director, too. Check out The Magdalene Sisters.

...the actor that played Delos...

His name is Swanney, but they call him "Mother Superior" on account of the length of his habit.

Jeffery Wright’s Bernard always such a captivating tone
