Emun Elliott has primarily made his bones as a character actor on television, most notably as Dr. Christian King on the short-lived BBC series "Paradox," which blended time manipulation and crime drama themes to little popularity or critical success. American audiences may recognize him from his turn on "Game of Thrones" as Marillion, the daring bard whose tongue is divorced from his mouth in the first season. In film, Elliott has been limited to playing minor supporting characters such as Swire in the gruesome medieval horror flick "Black Death," as well as co-pilot Chance in Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic "Prometheus."
