Gatt, 50, was arrested after police served a search warrant at his Beverly Grove home, KTLA reported.

Joseph Gatt, who was born and raised in London, has been acting since childhood, and is best known for his work as Thenn Warg in “Game of Thrones,” and also for playing roles in “Star Trek: Into Darkness” and “Thor,” according to IMDB.

In a news release, police said that they began investigating after hearing that Gatt had been “engaged in online sexually explicit communication with a minor across state lines. He was subsequently arrested by detectives for an outstanding felony warrant.”

That warrant was for a similar crime involving communication with a minor, KTLA reported.

Los Angeles police said they are continuing to work to identify additional victims, and asked anyone who knows of or suspects inappropriate contact with a minor to immediately report it to their local law enforcement agency.
