GoT characters in other shows/movies

Liam O

There's something like this in the Wire forum and it's a bit of fun.

You have the likes of Mackenzie Crook in The Office and Charles Dance in loads of things like Ali G inda House that a lot of people will have seen but was watching the pilot of the Borgias and the guy who plays Sam was playing a cardinal

Lena Headey (Cersei) was in the new Judge Dredd film as the villain; 'Mama'.

Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) was in 'In Brugges' as a drunk, coked up hilarious American.

Nicolai Coster Waldau (Jaime Lannister) was in a (Swedish?) film called Headhunters. Also in the recent film Oblivion.

Sean Bean was Ned Stark. Boromir in LOTR, Tadgh in The Field, loads of films as the villain.

Francis McGee is an Irish actor who acted in Eastenders. He played Yoren in GOT. In a series called House of Anubis. Also in the new Bulmers ad.

Jack Gleeson plays Joffrey. He had a bit part in Batman Begins.

Liam Cunningham as Davos Seaworth. Again, he was a ton of stuff, from First Knight to The Wind that shakes the Barley.

Just because a dwarf is in a movie doesn't make him Peter Dinklage It's not him.

Ha, fair enough. There is a certain, eh, resemblance...

And I remembered that Roose Bolton was Rats in Paths to Freedom. Here's a clip of him reading his poetry:

Ciaran Hinds also played Julius Caesar in Rome, and Edmure Tully is played by Tobias Menzies, who played Brutus also in Rome.

When GoT is finished for this season, if you haven't watched Rome, and need a fix of costumes, violence and sex, and if you haven't already watched it, Rome is brilliant.

ibarelycare

Ciaran Hinds (Mance) also plays Aberforth Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt II.

Charles Dance was excellent in Michael Collins.

Also the doctor in Alien 3

Syllabus

Peter Dinklage was in Nip/Tuck iirc

Aiden Gillen (Littlefinger) was in The Wire as Tommy Carcetti and also in the opening scene of Dark Knight Rises with Bane in the plane

Jorah Mormont was in the Weeping Angels two-part story of Doctor Who series 5.

Mark Addy (Robert Baratheon) was in The Full Monty and a few ITV/BBC drama/comedy type shows I think.

Can't really remember his name but the Mormont who is in charge of the Night's Watch played a priest in Season 3 of Sons of Anarchy.

The Hound was the guy who goes "Yarp" in Hot Fuzz (couldn't believe it when I found that out )

Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) was Nathan's mother in about 2 episodes of Misfits, and I think was also Hermione's mother in Harry Potter and Deadly Hallows Pt1 but didn't have any lines.

Paul Kaye (Thoros of Mir) was in a bunch of British stuff too, notably portraying a comedy character called Dennis Pennis who'd take the p*ss out of celebrities).

That's all I can think of now which hasn't already been said.

The one that plays Margery Tyrell had a small part in Captain America, she was the blonde one that cornered him and snogged him.

Isn't that the show as renowned as GoT for its nudity? Worth watching for any Margeary scenes?;)

Really?

I didn't cop that one.

Weird that the same actress would be in two pretty mianstream shows at the same time.

Niska

Liam Cunningham and Tobias Menzies were both in Dr WHo this season (Commander and 2nd in Command of the Soviet Sub)

Natalie Dormer (margery) and Joe Dempsy (Gendry) were both in The Fades (BBC 3 drama now on Netflix). Ian Hanmore (played the Warlock in season 2) was also in that.

A lot of the cast of The Last Legion pop up in Game of Thrones, notably The Mormonts James Cosmo (The old Bear) and Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont) .

Forgot, the guy who played Walder Frey was the janitor guy in the Harry Potter films and was also in the Dr.Who episode 'Dinosaurs in Space'

He's also in the film "It's all gone Pete Tong". He plays the part of DJ that goes deaf and has to come to terms with it.
An excellent film and some great acting by Kaye

Agree. It's a fantastic film.

More Harry Potter ones (yes I looked this up out of interest!). A few small-part crossovers but I thought these were interesting -

Michelle Fairley (Catelyn) played Hermione's mother in the last HP movie

Ian Whyte (Gregor Cledane) was the actor who did the full-body shots for Madame Maxine!!!

Cersei was Sarah Connor in terminator the sarah connor chronicles

Which one is Gregor; The Hound or The Mountain?

The Mountain. He was played by a different actor in Season 1, Ian Whyte is the actor who took over in Season 2.

the mountain, its a different actor in this series than the first.

The actor who play him is over 7 foot.

the hound actor is still big over 6 and a half feet, and you might recognise him from the old porridge adverts where he wore a kilt and white vest ;-)
