Noah Taylor
as Locke
Character Overview: Locke is believed to be a bannerman in service to Roose Bolton.
Actor Bio: He was born Noah George Taylor the elder of two boys in London in 1969. His family lived in both England and New Zealand before moving to Australia in 1974. Noah left home at age 16 before graduating from University High School in Melbourne when he fell into acting. He decided to pursue his craft at St. Martin’s Youth Theater. His work at St. Martin’s led to an auspicious debut playing the painfully shy and sensitive teen Danny Embling in the coming-of-age film The Year My Voice Broke (1987). This affecting performance lost none of its heart-tugging appeal when the sequel Flirting (1991) came out four years later. Noah won awards for both films. Unconventionally typecast as the gawky, gloomy-eyed, somewhat manic depressive, directors started lining up to use the young actor. It all culminated in what is arguably the best known perf of his career–as the young, tortured genius, pianist David Helfgott, in Shine (1996). American audiences have taken an equal “shine” to Noah recently, particularly as the manager of Stillwater in the popular film Almost Famous (2000); as Bryce in the popular adventure film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and its sequel; a featured role in the Tom Cruise starrer Vanilla Sky (2001); and in the “Willy Wonka” extravaganza Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) as Mr. Bucket. – IMDb
