Anton Lesser is coming to Pyrkon!
28 January 2026
Are there roles that stay with us for years – whether seen on screen or experienced live on stage? We certainly believe so! That’s why we truly cherish meetings with artists who bring depth and authenticity to the stories they tell. And it is with great excitement that we announce another exceptional guest of Pyrkon 2026!
Anton Lesser joins the Pyrkon guest lineup!
Anton Lesser is an outstanding film, television, and stage actor, recognised by audiences around the world. Many of you will remember him as Thomas More from the critically acclaimed and award-winning series Wolf Hall – the role that earned him a BAFTA nomination. Fans of fantasy and epic storytelling will also recognise him from Game of Thrones, where he performed as Qyburn, Andor, where he played the role of Major Lio Partagaz, The Crown, and much more!
But that’s not all yet! Anton Lesser has been captivating theatre audiences for years. He has worked extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company, performing in classic Shakespearean plays and beyond. Very soon, his remarkable acting talent can be seen once again on stage in a production of Hamlet.
At Pyrkon, you will have the chance to meet Anton Lesser in person, hear about his work, and learn more about his artistic journey. It’s a unique opportunity to step behind the scenes of major productions and meet an artist who brings the same passion to historical dramas as he does to worlds of fantasy.
