28th January : Hunger Games actor Burn Gorman and novelist David Profumo on fishing the Tay, beatboxing, and a fight with a ‘flying condom’

Hollywood star Burn Gorman and novelist David Profumo opened the 2023 salmon fishing season on the River Tay. Gayle Ritchie caught up with them at Meikleour.

If the name Burn Gorman doesn’t ring any bells, the chances are you’ll recognise his face.

He’s often cast as the villain or anti-hero, perhaps a result of possessing a rather distinctive, although undoubtedly handsome, face.

The Hollywood actor has featured in Game of Thrones, Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, The Dark Knight Rises, The Man in the High Castle, Pacific Rim and its sequel, and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio movie – and he’s set to star in the next Hunger Games film.
