Can you guess who ‘Game of Thrones’ star Iain Glen plays in historical biopic ‘Quezon’?

Iain Glen, widely recognized for his role as Jorah Mormont in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, is joining the cast of TBA Studios’ upcoming historical biopic Quezon. The studio confirmed the casting on March 17, 2025.

Glen will portray Leonard Wood, a United States Army major who later became Governor-General of the Philippines — a pivotal figure in Manuel Quezon’s fight for Philippine independence from American rule.

The Scottish actor met with the film’s cast and crew earlier this year during a script reading session held at a hotel in Manila, Philippines.

“Quezon” director and co-writer Jerrold Tarog said the casting of Glen as Leonard Wood makes the film “much more alive.” “(Iain Glen) has gravitas. But at the same time, he can let loose, which is important for the role of Leonard Wood,” he said.

“We are very honored to have Iain Glen in ‘Quezon’,” said TBA Studios President and COO Daphne O. Chiu. “This film is shaping up to be one of the biggest productions in Philippine cinema, with one of the largest casts ever assembled. We are excited to share with Iain—and the rest of the world—the production scale and level of artistry that Filipino filmmakers are capable of.”

The Philippine government agency National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) have announced their support for the project, with the latter providing funding for the movie. The country’s Department of Tourism and the QCinema Film Foundation have also given their support to the film.

Glen joins Jericho Rosales, who plays the film’s title role of Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon.
