Meet the cast of Black Mirror season three

Plot summary

When withdrawn 19-year-old Kenny stumbles headlong into an online trap, he is quickly forced into an uneasy alliance with shifty Hector – both of them at the mercy of persons unknown.

Alex Lawther – Kenny

Who does he play?

The vulnerable 19-year-old who’s the main victim of online blackmail. “He’s got this interesting vulnerability to him,” Brooker says. “You immediately are concerned for him and his well-being and, as is often the case with Black Mirror episodes, it’s a slightly more complex part to play than it may at first appear. So we also knew he had the acting chops to be able to pull off what’s required of him.”

Where have I seen him?

As a young Alan Turing in The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the adult computer scientist.

Jerome Flynn – Hector

Who does he play?

Hector, a father that’s also been caught up in online blackmail. “He starts out as a quite paternal figure to Alex’s character, and then you see over the course of the film him manipulating him,” says executive producer Annabel Jones. “So the balance of the relationship changes, because ultimately both of them are trying to protect their lives and their families and their personal lives.”

Where have I seen him?

Flynn, of course, plays mercenary-turned-knight Bronn in Game of Thrones. He’s also played Det. Sgt. Bennet Drake in Ripper Street and starred in ITV’s '90s army drama Soldier Soldier.
