Owen Teale stands at an imposing 6ft 1 ½ (186.7 cm), a height that has defined his commanding screen presence as a Welsh character actor. His towering stature perfectly suits authoritative roles like the battle-hardened Ser Alliser Thorne in HBO's Game of Thrones, where his physicality amplified the character's intimidating demeanor.
Trained at the Guildford School of Acting, Teale debuted in The Mimosa Boys (1984) and Doctor Who's 'Vengeance on Varos' (1985) as Maldak. His height has been central to career highlights, including rugged parts in Robin Hood (1991), The Last Legion, and the Cleopatra miniseries, often casting him as formidable policemen, soldiers, and leaders.
