For years, Tobias Menzies has been working his way through just about every hit TV show in the U.K. Born in London and educated at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), he’s had supporting roles on Pulling, The Thick of It, Doctor Who, Spooks, The Honorable Woman, The Night Manager, and Catastrophe, to name a few. Over time the parts expanded, both in size and scope, such as when Menzies played Catelyn Stark’s younger brother, Edmure Tully, on Game of Thrones, or when he portrayed Black Jack Randall, on the time-travel series Outlander, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. And when Menzies took on Prince Philip, on Seasons Three and Four of The Crown, he was again met with acclaim (and a second Golden Globe nomination). Next up, he stars in writer–director–producer Nicole Holofcener’s latest film, You Hurt My Feelings, as a therapist deflated by modern life, alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus. —Bridget Arsenault
