The entertainment industry mourns the loss of Darren Kent, a talented actor known for his roles in “Game of Thrones” and “EastEnders.” He was only 36 years old.
“Darren Kent, an award-winning actor also known as Darren Harper, passed away last Friday, surrounded by his loved ones,” confirmed his representative to Fox News Digital.
Despite his immense talent, Kent struggled with an extremely rare skin disorder, as well as osteoporosis and arthritis.
The Essex-born actor graduated from the prestigious Italia Conti Stage School in 2007. Throughout his career, Kent appeared in notable television shows and films such as “Malpractice,” “Blood Drive,” “The Frankenstein Chronicles,” and “Dungeons and Dragons.”
In one unforgettable episode of “Game of Thrones,” Kent portrayed a Goatherd from Slavers Bay, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
He also shared the screen with Kiefer Sutherland in “Mirrors,” and acted alongside Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Kristen Stewart in “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

Darren was not only a gifted actor, director, and writer, but he was also one of the most kind-hearted individuals I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Being part of his journey has been an honor and a pleasure. Rest in peace, my friend,” shared Carey Dodd Associates on Facebook.
