Andy Beckwith

Andy Beckwith is a British film and television actor whose career has taken him from punchy crime films to sprawling fantasy worlds and familiar television dramas. He is best known for playing Errol in Guy Ritchie’s Snatch, released in 2000, a role that remains one of his most recognisable screen appearances. It placed Beckwith within a busy ensemble and the distinctly British criminal world that drives the film. His other widely recognised role came in HBO’s Game of Thrones, where he portrayed Rorge between 2012 and 2014. The series gave Beckwith a place in a very different kind of ensemble: one built around shifting allegiances, dangerous encounters and a vast cast of characters. He also entered another major screen world as Clanker, a member of the Flying Dutchman’s crew in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Those credits give Beckwith’s filmography a strong genre streak, but his work is not limited to international franchises. He has appeared across numerous British film and television projects, including the feature films Hell to Pay and Ironclad: Battle for Blood. His television credits include EastEnders, By Any Means and Grantchester, moving between continuing drama and self-contained series work. Beckwith also appeared as a blind footballer in Bury It, a 2002 comedy short featuring Des McAleer, Clare Grogan and Steve Sweeney. Taken together, these roles show the shape of a dependable character-actor career: memorable parts within ensembles, appearances across film and television, and a particular foothold in crime, fantasy and historical action. Whether surrounded by London criminals, the crew of the Flying Dutchman or the dangerous figures of Game of Thrones, Beckwith has repeatedly found his place in vivid screen worlds.
