You had to be attentive while watching episode 2 of “The Acolyte” to recognize Dean-Charles Chapman. Before playing Master Torbin in the Star Wars series, the actor had an important role in “Game of Thrones”.
Star Wars The Acolyte : who is Master Torbin?
Series Star Wars The Acolyte made an impressive debut on Disney+. After posting the first two episodes online on June 5, the streaming platform quickly garnered millions of views. 4.8 million precisely in just 24 hours. Enough to reassure the series teams, starting with creator Leslye Headland. It must be said that this start of the season has managed to successfully establish new characters in a distant era of the High Republic. Among these are the twins Mae and Osha (Amandla Stenberg)one being the antagonist and the other a protagonist of The Acolyte. Alongside them, we discover Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae) and the young Jedi Yord (Charlie Barnett) and Jecki (Dafne Keen).
Other secondary characters appeared, with less time. The fate of Carrie-Anne Moss thus made people cringe. But she is not the only one to have had a tragic fate. From episode 2, another Jedi Master lost his life: Torbin. When we discover it in The Acolyte, he is in deep meditation, protected by a Force shield, and has taken a vow of silence. When Mae confronts him, she finds herself facing a wall. But his words finally reach him. And because of the strange past that unites them (which we will discover in episode 3), Mae manages to convince Torbin to commit suicide with poison…

The Tommen Baratheon of Game Of Thrones
Many saw Torbin as an anecdotal character, carried by an unknown actor. He is in fact difficult to recognize with his attire, his beard and his facial scar. However, the fans of Game Of Thrones have also seen this actor since it is Dean-Charles Chapman. The very one who embodied Tommen Baratheon, the young king of Westeros, in seasons four through six. A character who had a great evolution during these seasons, before committing suicide by jumping out of a window of the Red Keep.
Dean-Charles Chapman therefore did not stop at Game Of Thrones since he then appeared in the films 1917 (2019) and The king (2019). He also appeared in a few episodes of series before playing Torbin for the series Star Wars. If you hadn’t noticed it was him in The Acolyte, know that he will be more recognizable in episode 3, which will return to Mae and Osha’s past. An episode to discover starting June 12 on Disney+.
