Actor Domhnall Gleeson is probably best known to Western fans as Captain Andrew Henry in The Revenant. He abandons a wounded Hugh Glass in the wilderness—and is the source of Glass’ desire for revenge that powers the mountain man to find civilization again.
The Irish actor had a minor role in the 2012 version of True Grit playing Moon, a kid “on the scout” who is killed by his partner when he rats on his gang.
For others, Gleeson is known as Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter movie
