Jack Gleeson – 28 – Student

No other 21st-century television character has successfully made the audience’s blood boil with hatred other than the evil King Joffrey Baratheon from the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. This kind of strong reaction from the viewers can be given credit to Jack Gleeson when he played the show’s antagonist so convincingly. The twenty-eight-year-old actor held the crown of the vicious king from seasons one to four. Although things did not exactly go as King Joffrey has planned on the show, Gleeson undoubtedly made his mark in the entertainment industry.

Following the end of the television series, Gleeson decided to retire from acting. His reasons may have been due to academic purposes, especially since he only had one more year left to finish college. However, sources announced in 2020 that the GOT alum is among the new television show’s cast for Out of Her Mind.
