Nymeria Sand Nymeria is one of the Sand sisters of Dorne, bastard daughters of Prince Oberyn Martell. Jessica Henwick The pretty actress is not a stranger to playing the roles of tough women on screen. You’d think someone so cute couldn’t be that tough!

Petyr Baelish The fans of the show either love him or hate him. Well, most hate him. The Littlefinger is always meddling into everyone’s business, as long as he can get something out of it. His schemes and plots create half the fun. Aidan Gillen Even before GoT, the Irish actor has had a successful Hollywood career going. Naturally, it progressed rapidly as he was cast for the show. He was casted in another famous HBO show, The Wire.
|
Ramsay Bolton You can’t resist hating Ramsay, the most sadistic and evil character on the show. His death was probably even more enjoyable than King Joffrey’s. Iwan Rheon However, in real life, the Welsh actor is also an established singer. Despite the nature of his character on Game of Thrones, the role has surely helped him boost his music career.
|
Leaf Leaf belongs to a non-human race called Children of the Forest. They are responsible for creating the first White Walkers thousands of years ago. Kae Alexander Beautiful Kae has had numerous roles in movies and TV shows. She’s one of the Game of Thrones’ hidden treasures when it comes to beauty hidden under the heavy makeup.
|
Rickon Stark & Osha Rickon Stark and Osha had an interesting storyline before he was shot by Ramsay Bolton before the Battle of the Bastards. Ramsay was responsible for Osha’s death, too. He stabbed her in the neck. Art Parkinson This was one of the first roles for the young Irish actor, but it looks like he has a bright career before him. Natalia Tena Natalia had memorable roles before, playing Nymphadora Tonks in Harry Potter movies and Ellie in About a Boy alongside Hugh Grant. The wildling makeup can’t fool us – we have a real beauty here.
|
Obara Sand Obara Sand looks pissed off all the time during the show. You better not mess with her. Keisha Castle-Hughes It’s hard to believe it’s the same girl! Keisha proves that you don’t need heavy makeup to portrait a completely different character on the show. She’s truly beautiful and doesn’t look tough at all!
|
Theon Greyjoy Theon didn’t have it easy with all that’s happened to him on the show. First he was a loveable addition to the Stark family, then he started betraying everyone and we hated him, and then we felt sorry for him as Ramsay Bolton was torturing him. We can’t wait to see what will happen next with him. Alfie Allen Turns out Alfie Allen is just a regular guy in private life! We shouldn’t be surprised, really. It’s all the heavy makeup and costumes on the show that make him unrecognizable in real life.
|
Lady Mielisandre The Red Woman uses her magical necklace to appear young and beautiful, even though she’s centuries old. The fascinating thing is that the same actress plays both old and young Mielisandre. Carice Van Houten Yes, this gorgeous lady plays only the young red witch but also her natural, old version. She’s capable of making you love and hate her at the same time, which only proves her talent.
|
Sandor “The Hound” Clegane It’s interesting to see how the Hound looks in real life, as the character has severe burn scars over his face which makes him unrecognizable. He had a major role helping Arya Stark becoming what she is today. Rory McCann Looking at the pictures of McCann, we can’t help but wonder how much time does it take to put on all the makeup every day before the shooting starts.
|
Olenna Tyrell Olenna was a loveable elderly lady at first, until we saw all the things she’s capable of. She’s certainly important for the story and responsible for some of the most interesting moves on the show. Diana Rigg Even though Diana has been acting since the ‘60s, Game of Thrones role is her biggest success yet. She used to be and still is a beautiful woman who resisted plastic surgery as the ages went by.
|
Brienne of Tarth Brienne of Tarth is a woman who fights like a man and always makes us smile when she defeats the bad guys. Her role has progressed over time, and now she is one of the more important characters on the show. Gwendoline Christine Gwendoline’s height is basically the only things she has in common with her character Brienne. In fact, she’s a real beauty! The transformation is incredible.
|
Joffrey Baratheon King Joffrey is probably the universally most hated TV character ever. Everybody waited for him to die, and when he finally did, it felt like the justice has been served. Jack Gleeson It’s a lot for a young actor to take, but the universal hatred for his character can only mean that he was great in his role. We hope for Jack Gleeson to have many more successful roles in the future.
|
Davos Seaworth Davos is a quiet problem solver. He’s always there for the current king and other characters when they need him the most. Liam Cunningham The actor Liam Cunningham looks much softer in real life. Watching his ‘normal’ pictures we realize that he’s just a regular person and a great actor.
|
Jaime Lannister Jaime hasn’t had an easy time on the series. First he lost his hand, then his secret affair with his sister was revealed, and finally, he was banished from King’s Landing. What will the new season bring him? Nikolaj Coster-Waldau The series has been a great breaking ground for the Danish actor. He first started locally, later moved to Hollywood and acted in movies like Black Hawk Down, only to finally get on Game of Thrones.
|
Yara Greyjoy Theon Greyjoy’s sister was the leader of the Iron Islands before her uncle stole them from her. Yara is a woman, but she’s more though than some men. Gemma Whelan Gemma is a gorgeous English actress, also known for The Wolfman and Gulliver’s Travels, besides Game of Thrones.
|
Ellaria Sand Ellaria Sand is the one to watch out from. She’s responsible for killing Myrcella Baratheon, the last surviving child of Cersei and Jaime Lannister. Indira Varma Indira Varma is much prettier and way less mean in real life. Also, it’s refreshing to see her actually wearing real clothes.
|
Ygritte The wildling who took Jon Snow’s virginity, Ygritte’s the one who shot him multiple times with her bow and arrows as he fled. Rose Leslie Before GoT, Rose acted in a famous British series Downton Abbey. She’s actually a royal and grew up in a castle in Scotland.
|
Samwell Tarly When Samwell first came to the Wall and guys there attacked him for being fat and weak, Jon Snow was the only one to stand by his side. The two of them became true friends but Sam had to leave to become a Maester. John Bradley Before Game of Thrones, the British actor mostly scored comedic roles. He looks quite different in real life, just like many of the cast members.
|
Gilly Samwell saved Gilly and her baby from her father and husband Craster. She’s always dirty on the show, making us wonder how does the actress look like off-set. Hannah Murray Hannah Murray is actually really cute! In fact, all the stars from Game of Thrones look so pretty when they take off the stage makeup.

Darrio Naharis & Jorah Mormont The two men are fighting to win Khaleesi’s heart, but she refuses them both. Yet, they are not the ones to simply give up. Michiel Huisman Once you get to play Darrio Naharis, many doors open for you. Huisman had many roles and is active in Hollywood, but none of them can compete with GoT. Iain Glenn Before Game of Thrones, Iain Glenn was known for his roles in the Resident Evil movies. However, he’s Jorah Mormont now, and it will take quite a big new role to change that. Even in his 50s, Glenn looks better than many younger man do.
|

|
Eddard (Ned) Stark The character so moral and honest that he didn’t make it past season 1, Ned Stark was the leader of the North and Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon. As soon as Joffrey took over the throne, he executed Ned for telling the truth – that Robert’s children with Cersei are not actually his, but Jaime Lannister’s. Sean Bean Sean Bean was the most famous cast member when they first started filming the show. It was obvious that he should get a lead role, but the audience was in shock as he was executed in the last episode of season 1.

|
Sansa Stark Once a young, naive girl, Sansa had to grow up quickly after a series of unfortunate events that happened in King’s Landing. Sansa has grown into a powerful young woman, a true Stark, who’s on her way to save the Winterfell. Sophie Turner Along with her on-show sister Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner blossomed on the show before our eyes. The British actress is nothing like her character in person. She’s far more upbeat and on her way to become the true Hollywood star.
|
Tyrion Lannister He may look small, but his role on the show is huge. Tyrion is Cersei’s and Jaime’s younger brother, whom they never forgave for ‘killing’ their mother while being born. According to many, Tyrion is the funniest character on GoT. His quick brain has gotten him out of many inconvenient situations.
