Brendan Gleeson (born 29 March 1955) is an Irish actor who portrays Joseph Lynch in the Assassin's Creed movie.

Gleeson has been a fixture in Hollywood period pieces and action-adventure films since 1995's Braveheart, appearing in other epics like Troy, Kingdom of Heaven alongside Jeremy Irons, and Beowulf, but is perhaps best known for playing Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter series.
