'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight admitted he thought 'Game of Thrones' was a kids show before casting Aidan Gillen.
Gillen played Lord Petyr Baelish in the HBO fantasy series before stepping into the role of Aberama Gold in “Peaky.” He’s also appeared in “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Mayor of Kingstown” and the “Maze Runner” franchise. The multi-hyphenate writer, director and producer is fiercely passion about about the U.K.’s screen industry and has founded a film and TV studio complex in his home city of Birmingham, the town where he also set “Peaky Blinders.” Other speakers at the Royal Television Society conference, which is hosted this year by Netflix, include streaming boss Ted Sarandos, footballer David Beckham and culture secretary Lisa Nandy.
