Rory McCann was born on April 24, 1969, in Glasgow, Scotland. Before pursuing a career in acting, he led a varied life, working as a landscape gardener and carpenter. He also studied at the Scottish School of Forestry, reflecting his strong connection to nature and the outdoors.
McCann's sister, Sally-Gay McCann, works in the film and television industry as a costume designer. Rory began formal acting training relatively late, studying under Robert Parsifal Finch at The Actor’s Workshop in Glasgow. He first took up acting at the age of 29.
McCann made one of his earliest on-screen appearances in a humorous commercial for porridge, where he featured wearing a vest and a kilt. His breakout role came shortly after in the Channel 4 television series The Book Group, in which he played a disabled personal trainer. His performance earned him the Scottish BAFTA for Best Television Performance in 2002.
Rory McCann gained international fame for his portrayal of Sandor “The Hound” Clegane in the acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones. His complex and gritty performance made the character a fan favorite and showcased his ability to bring depth to dark, morally ambiguous roles.
An avid outdoorsman, McCann enjoys climbing and often prefers spending time immersed in nature. His passion for the outdoors once led to a serious rock climbing accident in Yorkshire, where he sustained multiple injuries. Despite the dangers, he continues to embrace an adventurous lifestyle.
Known for leading a nontraditional life, McCann often chooses to live on a boat or in remote locations, reflecting his preference for solitude and simplicity. This transient lifestyle speaks to his independent spirit and strong connection to natural living.
In addition to acting, McCann is also a talented, self-taught musician. He plays several instruments, including the piano, guitar, banjo, and mandolin. Prior to his acting success, he served as the frontman for a band called Thundersoup, further showcasing his creative versatility.
