Dang, that's some big news right there. It would be funny if Sophie was the first GoT actor to truly break out of the show as a star.

Well Art Parkinson seems to do pretty well too, given his age and comparative screentime on the show. But yeah, certainly seems to have done wonders for the younger actors/acrresses

Maisie Williams played a girl called Lydia in The Falling

ETA: Think this may have been the lead role...not actually seen the film but I was reading an old magazine. Boy, Maisie seems to love the trauma/emotionally distressed roles :p

Wolf Hall, which is showing on BBC 2 for the next five weeks, has a smorgasbord of GoT second-stringers in it. So far I have spotted:



  • Thomas Brodie Sangster (Jojen Reed) as Rafe Sadler
  • Anton Lesser (Qyburn) as Thomas More
  • Mark Gatiss (Tycho Nestoris) as Stephen Gardiner
  • Harry Lloyd (Viserys) as Harry Percy
  • Jonathan Pryce (High Sparrow) as Cardinal Wolsey


It also has Damien Lewis (Brody from Homeland) playing Henry VIII and a totally scene-stealing Bernard Hill (King Theoden of Rohan from LotR) as the Duke of Norfolk. It will be available on PBS in the USA sometime in April. If you enjoy historical fiction at all, I definitely recommend picking up the books. Her style takes some getting used to but is so worth it.

:lol:

I chuckled throughout the first episode every single time I recognised a face ... what fun!

Plus, a show with great potential. I did like The Tudors, but it went to far over the top for my tastes from time to time. This one is more up my alley.

I've seen Emilia Clarke in the penultimate episode of Futurama (only shown last week in the UK), The woman who played Ygrette in a drama about the great fire of London. Maise Williams has been in a drama called Cyberbully. Sean Bean has been in several things as well. GOT has many top stars in it you know.
