The new war film from Sam Mendes, 1917, has a host of stars - find out more about the cast
January 10, 2020 - 16:56 GMT Emmy Griffiths Sam Mendes' new war film, 1917, has had some serious buzz this awards season. With a win for Best Picture at the Golden Globes and nine BAFTA nomination under its belt, the blockbuster – which was filmed almost as one continuous one-shot - is definitely one to watch.
Dean Charles Chapman - Lance Corporal Tom Blake Dean plays Tom Blake, George's friend and fellow soldier who is determined to reach the battalion in order to save his older brother Joseph's life. Before landing a starring role in the war film, the 22-year-old was best known for portraying the young and naïve Tommen Baratheon in Game of Thrones. He is also, incidentally, the longest serving actor to portray Billy in the Billy Eliot musical, having played the role from 2009 to 2011.
Andrew Scott - Lieutenant Leslie Andrew is perhaps best known for playing the 'Hot Priest' in the hugely popular show Fleabag, and as Moriarty in Sherlock. It was recently revealed that Andrew made more mistakes than the rest of the cast combined thanks to having trouble with his lighter during scenes. Of course, thanks to the film being shot in one continuous shot, this meant that the filming would have to start from the very beginning all over again.
