Giving threatening characters a presence

Richard Brake is a Welsh-born actor whose film and television work often includes unsettling character roles. His credits range from large franchise productions to independent horror.

In Batman Begins he plays Joe Chill, whose actions shape Bruce Wayne’s origin story. On television Brake also portrayed the Night King in Game of Thrones, creating a very different screen presence behind extensive makeup.

His collaborations with filmmaker Rob Zombie include 31, where he plays Doom-Head, and 3 From Hell. Brake has spoken in interviews about the precision of the written dialogue for Doom-Head and his approach to the role.

In Pinocchio: Unstrung he plays Geppetto. The links below list films available in the FLM.RED database and do not represent his complete filmography.
