Dominic is a veteran of television, appearing in several popular British television and film projects including credits in shows such as Doctors, The Bill, and Drop Dead Gorgeous. Confirmed in 2010, Carter was announced to play Janos Slynt, the commander of the City Watch in King's Landing (aka 'The Gold Cloaks') and founder of House Slynt.
