Sebastian Toby M. Pugh (born 26 February 1992), known as Toby Sebastian, is an English actor and musician. He is best known for his role as Trystane Martell in HBO series Game of Thrones.
Early life
Sebastian was born in Oxford, and grew up in Andalusia with his three sisters (all actresses): Florence, Arabella, and Rafaela. His father, Clinton Pugh, is a restaurateur and runs The Grand Cafe, Kazbar and the Cafe Coco chain in Oxford. His mother Deborah studied dance at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.
Career
In 2012, his first role (albeit uncredited) came in The Hollow Crown. The following year, he portrayed Russell in the film After the Dark. Afterwards, he appeared in The Red Tent as Re-mose, in Barely Lethal as Cash Fenton, and in the fifth season of Game of Thrones as Trystane Martell, arguably his best known role. Game of Thrones casting director Nina Gold later explained his casting in the series: "We knew Toby more because he'd done a lot of music things in the past, but he has a really romantic feel that just worked."
Sebastien is set to portray Andrea Bocelli in the biopic The Music Of Silence, directed by the Academy Award nominated director Michael Radford.
