To celebrate the movie's release on digital platforms, our website is exclusively presenting a thrilling new clip from Operation Napoleon. The video, featured at the beginning of this article, showcases Ólafsdóttir's character, Kristin, turning the tables on Glenn's villainous William Carr as their cargo plane begins to crash land. With the plane's instability, the two engage in a fierce battle over a gun and a knife, each fighting for the upper hand.

Game of Thrones Was Not Even The Start Of Glenn's Popularity

Renowned for his role as Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones, Glenn has captivated audiences for all eight thrilling seasons of the HBO fantasy series. As the closest confidante of Daenerys, played by Emilia Clarke, their deeply touching and unrequited bond became a heartwrenching highlight throughout the epic adaptation of George R.R. Martin's legendary novels. Even in the controversial final season, Glenn's character tragically met his demise in the Battle of Winterfell, leaving a lasting impact on fans.

However, Game of Thrones was just the beginning of Glenn's mainstream success in both film and television. Before his role in the HBO series, the Scottish actor had already gained recognition through his involvement in two major franchises. He portrayed the main antagonist in the original 2001 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider film, starring alongside Angelina Jolie. Additionally, he played the maniacal Umbrella scientist, Dr. Alexander Isaacs, in the Resident Evil movies, alongside Milla Jovovich. Prior to Game of Thrones, Glenn also showcased his talent in recurring roles on Doctor Who and Downton Abbey.

Although Isaacs was a completely original character in the movies, his character design drew inspiration from William Birkin in the Resident Evil games. This included his transformation into a Tyrant in the 2007 film Extinction.

After his time as Jorah, Glenn's notable roles include playing Bruce Wayne in Titans and starring in Prime Video's supernatural thriller, The Rig. In Operation Napoleon, he revisits his Tomb Raider and Resident Evil performances, fearlessly delving into the mystery surrounding a World War II plane wreck. The movie will be available on DVD and On Demand on November 7th.
