In 1988, when Rory was just 19 in age, he did get the opportunity to work as an extra for the movie named Wilow. Unfortunately, though, Rory got fired from the job because he laughed during the takes. Quite interesting coming from somebody who barely smiles as The Hound on Game of Thrones.
After getting fired from his first ever acting job, Rory booked a television commercial for Scotts’ Porridge Oats.
Later in 2002, Rory bagged his first significant acting role in the TV comedy-drama ‘The Book Group‘ where he portrayed the character of a wheelchair-bound lifeguard.
His performance in the show got acknowledged as the best television performance of 2002 for which he won Scottish BAFTA.

And meanwhile, he is popular all around the globe as The Hound, a famous character in HBO’s television series- Game of Thrones. Rory has been a part of this epic series since 2012 and he still has some more screen time in Game of Thrones season 8.

Rory McCann Marital Status: Married, Wife/Partner?
Rory McCann at the age of 49 is still single and not ready to mingle. Justifying his single life status, Rory once said,
I’m single because I move about so much that I can’t really get attached.
Rory also believes that balancing work and family can weigh heavy on him; which makes sense as to why he doesn’t have a wife or kids,
If I had a long-term partner, I don’t think I’d be an actor. It’d be too much of a strain; you have to work too hard to balance that life with a family and a mortgage and all that stuff – it would be too much.
Furthermore, if Rory would consider dating later in life, his girlfriend won’t be an actress for sure. Here’s what Rory had to say about dating actors,
In the business I meet some beautiful women, but to be honest, 80 per cent of them are raving lunatics and are to be avoided. It’s just insecurity; actors are generally quite insecure. I wouldn’t date, or I’ve never had a fling with an actress, and I’d quite like to keep it that way.
Interesting!
