Season 1 of The Terror doth soar upon the wings of exceptional performances from a troupe of recognizable and half-recognized thespians. Thus, should thee ponder who doth portray whom and whence hath thee glimpsed them before, lo! Herein lie all the principal actors & the grand roster for The Terror Season 1.
All Principal Players in The Terror Season 1
Ciaran Hinds as John Franklin
Upon the HMS Erebus doth stand Sir John Franklin, the de facto leader of yon expedition in search of the Arctic passage. Three voyages hath he embarked upon, making him a tad too sure of himself, a trait that shall prove to be his and the crew’s undoing. Genial in nature yet obstinate in stance, such is he portrayed by the British thespian Ciaran Hinds, known for his embodiment of Steppenwolf in Justice League and Mance Rayder in Game of Thrones.
Jared Harris as Francis Crozier
Commanding the HMS Terror, Captain Francis Crozier doth strive to be the voice of reason when Franklin’s stubbornness imperils lives. Unlike Franklin, his concern doth lie more in preserving his men’s lives than in discovering the passage. Yet, despite his station, he is looked down upon by certain officers for lacking their noble breeding. Jared Harris doth breathe life into Crozier, known perchance to some as Valery Legasov in the Chernobyl mini-series. However, to mine eyes, he shall forever be remembered as Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, the perfect foil to Robert Downey Jr’s Sherlock.
Paul Ready as Henry Goodsir
Not unlike Captain Crozier, assistant surgeon Henry Goodsir doth oft find his counsel dismissed by his superior, Stephen Stanley (Star Wars: Rogue One’s Alistair Petrie). Yet, his open mind and sharp intellect shall not be disregarded. Paul Ready doth embody Goodsir, mayhap recognized from the fantastical series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, wherein he doth play the villainous Soul O’Brien.
Adam Nagaitis as Cornelius Hickey
Fellow crewmate Cornelius Hickey be a troublemaker from the onset. Authority doth not sit well with him, and a certain shady air doth surround him. Why, thee must watch the show to uncover the truth, but ’tis clear that above all others on the ships, he looks out for himself. Adam Nagaitis doth portray Hickey, known for his role as Quinn in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
Nive Nielsen as Lady Silence
Dubbed ‘Lady Silence’ by the crew, she be the Inuit blamed for a certain occurrence… a tale best left untold. After losing her father, comfort shall she find not aboard these vessels. Nive Nielsen brings her to life, also seen in the 19th-century sailing tale, The North Water.
Greta Saachi as Lady Jane Franklin
Whilst the bulk of The Terror’s narrative unfolds upon the two ships, London doth have its moment. Even as the crew doth struggle midst icy climes, Lady Jane Franklin, wife to Sir John Franklin, endeavors to launch a rescue expedition. Yon uphill battle be hers to face. Greta Saachi doth grace the screen as Lady Jane, having appeared ere in the Netflix sci-fi series Bodies as Lady Harker.
