Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen has been revealed as the latest star taking part in a Christmas concert at the University of Aberdeen.
The Scottish actor, who plays Jorah Mormont in the show, will perform at both the Aberdeen and London concerts, thus rekindling his association with the University that goes back to the 1970s.
“The Aberdeen University Drama Society was my introduction to acting, and by the time I left I had just about enough belief to try and give the profession a go,” he said.
“I am so pleased to be part of this very special choral concert and to be able to walk the streets of the Silver City once again.”
Katrina Allan, Head of Alumni Relations at the University of Aberdeen, said: “The Celebration of Carols is a fantastic festive event and we are delighted that Iain Glen has accepted our invitation to take part.
“Iain’s involvement adds an exciting new dimension to what promises to be an entertaining evening, thanks to the creative partnership that Sir Tony and Professor Mealor have developed since they performed together at last year’s concert."
The concert will raise funds for cancer and dementia research.
