    Donald Sumpter (Maester Luwin) is currently starting in a mini-series on Channel 4 called The Mill.

    he had a recurring part in 'Being Human' too, 2 or 3 episodes.

    edit: 9 episodes according to IMDB wow!

    Littlefinger is John-boy from love/hate

    It's gas, he played a corrupt mayor in the wire, a Dublin gangster in love/hate and a deceptive manipulator in thrones. Guess who he's playing next?? Charles Haughey. That's not even a joke, he's literally been preparing for this role since he became an actor..

    We should have known from Harry Potter that he'd be a total prîck.

    Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton), Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham), Varys (Conleth Hill), Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen), Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) are the ones I can think of.

    Probably a few other minor characters too.

    Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds). Although I would have said he was Northern Irish, his Wikipedia page claims him as Irish.

    Oh, and Yoren (Francis Magee)

    Michelle Fairley and Conleth Hill are both Northern Irish. I was including actors from there too. I think Tommen and Myrcella may also be Northern Irish.

    Cool.

    Rickon Stark (Art Parkinson) - born in Donegal.

    And how could we forget??? HODOR!!! (Kristian Nairn, from Belfast) - mind you, he doesnt give much of the accent away ;)

    Beric Dondarrion (the second incarnation - there was a brief appearance in Season 1 with a different actor) is Richard Dormer, another Northern Irish actor. For some reason I thought he was Scottish - he reminds me a little bit of Jorah Mormont.

    Quite suprised to see a very little king joffery running from dragons in reign of fire. So it seems batman has had 2 chances to rid the world of this tyrant and failed both times. More worringly it does make you think that joffery may have more experience in dragon handling than even the targaryens.

    Roose Bolton as Johnner Byrne in I Went Down, and as the baldly bank manager Cillian Murphy's missus hooks up with in Intermission.

    Didn't he play a very young Bruce Wayne? So he is in fact Batman! Unless of course you expected Batman to rid the world of the tyrant by doing the honourable thing and flinging himself off the tallest building in Gotham! :P

    Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Peter Dinklage was in a sci-fi TV show called Threshold from 2005 that got cancelled after one season. Funnily enough he was big into booze and ladies in that too :P
