In Thrones, he played Ser Addam Marbrand, one of the chief knights in the service of Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) and old friend of his son, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster Waldau).

The team behind Give My Head Peace called him “a fine actor, great colleague and a true friend,” adding: “Our thoughts are with his wife Elish, son Nathan and daughter Abigail at this time.”

 Hogg’s cause of death is unknown.
