Why Nikolai Lantsov From Shadow And Bone Looks So Familiar

2019 was an especially busy year for Patrick Gibson, as he appeared in two TV series and two movies. On top of "The OA," Gibson also appeared as The Boy in the Starz historical drama, "The Spanish Princess," once again taking on a smaller role in a historical epic set around English royalty.

Gibson also had a key role in the 2019 biopic "Tolkien." As the name would suggest, the film follows the life of the famed "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Gibson plays Robert Gilson in the film, a rival-turned-friend of the burgeoning writer who introduces a young Tolkien to some of his lifelong friends and helps him to form the Tea Club and Barrovian Society.

Finally, Gibson also took on the mantle of well-known video game developer John Carmack in "Masters of Doom." Based on the book of the same name, the movie charts the rise of John Romero and his fellow programmer, Carmack, as they develop the seminal first-person shooter "Doom," a game that would change video gaming forever.
