Ian Gelder was a British actor, best known for his roles as Mr. Dekker in Torchwood: Children of Earth, and as Kevan Lannister in the HBO series, Game of Thrones.

With a long career as an actor, it is no question why Gelder is held in such a high regard, with his involvement extending to numerous stage and screen roles. His credits include roles in series such as London's Burning and Agatha Christie's Poirot. Alongside his lengthy career in front of the lens, Gelder took a fond stance on the stage, with numerous credits in productions on London's West End and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

In 2010, Gelder was confirmed in the role of Kevan Lannister for the first season of Game of Thrones. His introduction as the younger brother of Lord Tywin, he became a strong ally to the sophisticated bloodline of the Lannister house. After a noticeable absence, Gelder reprised his character in later seasons, meeting his demise in the slaughter of the season six finale.

More recently, Gelder appeared in the stage play The March on Russia, written by David Storey, and in the small screen adaptation of Snatch. Gelder's most recent television appearance saw him voicing The Remnants in Jodie Whittaker's first season in Doctor Who.

Tall (6'3"), athletic, dark-haired, boyishly handsome Robert F. Logan, Jr. was the eldest of seven children, the son of bank executive Francis Logan and Catherine Quigley. The family moved to Los Angeles when Bob was a child. He pursued sports in high school and was attending the University of Arizona on a baseball scholarship when discovered by a Warner Bros. talent agent and destiny intervened.

Debuting in the early 1960s as a young suitor in the trashy soap-styled movie Claudelle Inglish (1961), he was placed in various Warner Bros. TV shows such as "Maverick" and "Surfside 6." He also replaced the phenomenally popular Edd Byrnes Kookie character (Kookie advanced to being a full-fledged investigator) on the highly popular TV series 77 Sunset Strip (1958) as the newly hip, slang-speaking parking attendant J.R. Hale. Following this, he ventured on with guest spots on "Dr. Kildare" and "Mr. Novak," and was handed a co-starring role in the "beach party" movie Business People (1963) along with his TV pal Edd Byrnes.

Logan's career went into a lull after a full season playing frontiersman Jericho Jones on Daniel Boone (1964), but resurfaced in the early 1970s as the adventurous hippy star of the popular "back to nature" family drama The Adventures of the Wilderness Family (1975), which was written and directed by Stewart Raffill. Bob also starred in two other adventure films with a similar family Rocky Mountain theme, Across the Great Divide (1976) and The Sea Gypsies (1978), and showed up in two other "Wilderness" sequels as well -- The Further Adventures of the Wilderness Family (1978) and Adventures of the Wilderness Family 3 (1979). All four films involved writer/director Raffill. Becoming more or less the Michael Landon of outdoor family films, Bob went on to write and star in yet family-styled adventure story Kelly (1981).

Logan made only sporadic returns to movie-making, usually playing gruff characters, in such films as the western comedy Catlow (1971) starring Yul Brynner, the ill-received steamy drama A Night in Heaven (1983) as the NASA husband of cheating cougar wife Lesley Ann Warren and the action film Scorpion (1986). He also starred in the backwoods thriller Man Outside (1987) co-starring Kathleen Quinlan and co-starred in the sports car racing independent Born to Race (1988) co-starring Joseph Bottoms.

Away from the limelight for nearly a decade, Bob returned briefly to star in the Cold War comedy film spoof Redboy 13 (1997) and then he vanished again. He has one daughter from a 1960s marriage that ended in divorce.

Growing up in Brooklyn and raising a ruckus in elementary school with the likes of Woody Allen, Don Penny parlayed his quick mind and swift study (probably would be diagnosed as ADD today) to become the Deputy Director for White House Communications in the Administration of Gerald R. Ford. A Korean War Veteran and a 38 year member of the US Naval Reserve, his public service includes establishing the White House Communications Agency during the Johnson Administration.

Credentials as a communication consultant include theatre arts education at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Tech and London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Don took his energy to Broadway, national touring companies, regional theater, and eventually Hollywood and network television. Among his TV acting credentials are roles in "That Girl", "Wackiest Ship in the Army", "Gomer Pyle USMC", as well as writing for such great programs as "The Steve Allen Show" and "The Monkees".

After service in the Ford Administration, Don worked in LA and Washington, forming his own strategic communications company. Don loves sharing his wit and comedic talents with members of the Cabinet, more than 100 members of the Senate and House, guests of the White House (including Queen Elizabeth II) and other Washington luminaries including Presidents Reagan and Bush as a speech writer and presentation consultant.

Don lives in Los Angeles and consults with friends and colleagues in business, government, the military and speaks with young people about life's journey, the challenges and finding joy along the way.
