Kieron Elliott
Kieron Elliott is an actor, born 1995.
Kieron Elliott is a Scottish actor whose most widely heard work arrives a few words at a time. He voices Hoark the Haggard across all three How to Train Your Dragon films, from 2010 to 2019, one of the Berk villagers who exist to shout at Stoick and give the crowd scenes their texture, and he does it in the accent those films built their entire vocal identity around.
Most of his career has happened off screen and on air instead. He was a continuity announcer for BBC Three, co-hosted the karaoke panel show Night Fever, helped launch the UK's first FM classic rock station in 2007 and presented its breakfast show for a year, and worked as a presenter on Real Radio. On television he had a recurring part as Duncan Robertson in the BBC drama River City, appeared in an episode of Deadliest Warrior and hosted that show's Aftermath segment. The screen filmography beyond the dragon films is genuinely small: the grim independent feature Vile in 2011, and Postman Pat: The Movie in 2014.

Where to start with Kieron Elliott
The first film, How to Train Your Dragon, is the best of the three by a comfortable distance and the one where the Berk villagers get the most to do. Hoark is background, and the background is precisely the job: those films only feel inhabited because a dozen voices like his are working the edges of the frame.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 gives the ensemble more room and is the darker picture of the three. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World closes the trilogy politely and is the weakest. After that the routing gets thin: Postman Pat: The Movie exists for a very specific and very small audience, and Vile is a grubby little horror film that nobody would put on a showreel. For the real body of his work you need radio and Scottish television, neither of which is catalogued here.
