Book Ian McShane
Ian McShane is an English actor whose silver-tongued menace and dry wit have made him one of the screen's great scene stealers across six decades. British audiences first knew him from Wuthering Heights and Jesus of Nazareth (1977), then as the roguish antiques dealer in the BBC favorite Lovejoy. In America he appeared on Dallas before landing the role of a lifetime as saloon boss Al Swearengen in HBO's Deadwood, which won him the 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a television drama, plus an Emmy nomination. He later played the scheming Mr. Wednesday in American Gods from 2017 to 2021 and appeared in Game of Thrones. His film career includes Battle of Britain (1969), Sexy Beast (2000), Hot Rod (2007), the voice of villain Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda (2008) and Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024), and Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011). Action fans know him as Winston Scott across the John Wick franchise and its spinoff Ballerina (2025). He has also featured in Hercules (2014) and Hellboy (2019).
