I just watched Valkyrie for like the 4th time and only now realised that Carice Van Houten is Colonel Von Stauffenberg's wife. I did think it looked a bit like her while I was watching then after I went on IMDB to look at the cast to identify some of the other actors and saw that it indeed was her.

I also stumbled across a young Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Jojen Reed) as a young Hitler in that dramatised documentary Hitler - The Rise of Evil, that's the one with Robert Carlyle

Richard Madden(King in the North) played the lead role in Medici masters of florence

 

There was an interesting scene where David Bradley(walder frey) played the father of a girl Richard was pushed to marry, and they looked into each others eyes for a brief time...maybe a nod to GoT, lol, and then hugged. Was sorta mind blowing.

I remember watching Valkyrie back when I hadn't even heard about Game of Thrones. Outside of the realm of TV/cinema, I really like to listen to Carice van Houten's music. There isn't much out there but I kind of like it.

Wow, Brodie-Sangster as Hitler is something that I'm having a hard time picturing :D

Anyone watching The Good Fight? I'm curious about how Rose Leslie is doing in her role.

A while back I saw an ad for a hotel group & the "spokesman" (a character really) looked very familiar. Recently I stayed at one of those hotels & got a look at a picture of that guy...sure enough it was the actor who plays Tormand Giantsbane.

Has anyone mentioned DIana Rigg joining Victoria this season?

I've only watched the first episode, but it's pretty strange casting. Diana Rigg is basically written as Olenna Tyrell. The real Duchess of Buccleuch was 30 years old, deeply religious, a "lifelong romantic", and an agreeable woman who became Victoria's best friend.

It's also the only role I've seen her in since her return from retirement in 2013 (for Doctor Who) where she's basically just playing Olenna. It seems like a waste, given her range. But maybe she'll do more with it in later episodes.

I think the only other actor Victoria and GoT have in common is Guy Oliver-Watts, who had a minor recurring role as Sir James Hayter in S1 of Victoria, and was a unnamed Lannister general this year, although I think his scenes were cut from all but the last episode. (Victoria and Doctor Who, on the other hand…)

Speaking of Doctor Who, David Bradley (Walder Frey), after playing First Doctor actor William Hartnell in the 50th anniversary docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time, is now playing the actual First Doctor in this year's Christmas special.

A friend of mine who doesn't watch GoT regularly wanted to know why Ashildr was impersonating the Doctor at the start of this season.

Also, someone posted a list of GoT/DW crossovers earlier, but only included connections from the 2005 series. Most of the older cast members were on the classic (1963-1989) series or involved in the "wilderness years" between 1989-2005 in some way, just because most British actors old enough to play an older person were on the show at some point in its 26+ years. Rather than list them all:

  • Earliest (I think): Julian Glover (Pycelle) playing Richard the Lionheart in The Crusade in 1965 (he's also Scaroth in City of Death, maybe the most famous one-off villain in the classic series, the one who was unstuck in time and secretly had a head made of green spaghetti).
  • Last: RIchard E. Grant (Izembaro) playing the Ninth Doctor in the 2003 animated pilot Scream of the Shalka.
  • Most crossovers: Richard E. Grant (Izembaro), Jim Broadbent (Archmaester Ebrose), and Jonathan Pryce (High Sparrow) as Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, and Master in the 1999 semi-official parody The Curse of Fatal Death.

Also, the shortlist for the Eighth Doctor included Jonathan Pryce (High Sparrow), Liam Cunningham (Davos), and Tim McInnerny (Robett Glover).

I also remember Glover in the 1982 version of Ivanhoe, where he played the Black Knight/King Richard I Lionheart.

Iwan Rheon as Maximus in Inhumans.

Sophie Turner as Adeline March/Young Vida Winter in The Thirteenth Tale

Yeah, he played Richard I at least twice, but to be fair, he's played just about everyone in English history (starting with Aethlstane, the king before whom there was no such thing as English), so he had to double up somewhere.

So far I have seen Liam Cunningham ,Ian Glen ,Adewale akinnuoye agboje and Charles dance ..iam sure many will follow as the series progress 

Its so weird seeing Liam play a bad guy after seeing him play Davos

The guy who cut Jaime's hand off is one of Lara Croft's sidekicks.

He also appeared in Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as Mr. Bucket and And Then There Were None, which also starred Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) and Burn Gorman (Karl Tanner). 

Mackenzie Crook appeared in Ironclad as Daniel Marks.
