Most of them are very good actors but I'll single out some I think did extremely well:

Theon has done an amazing job so far(with all those facial expressions, thumbs up)

Greyworm also did a top notch job

Cersie - Almost everyone will agree with this

Lady Mormont, that kid is everything. She takes her lines perfectly(bt we don't know hw much work is done bkground to effect this)

Worst
It's hard to choose cos left to me they're all good professionals but I'll say so far Yara Grejoy has been doing a 'not-so-perfect' job. I think she's supposed to appear like a tom-boy but most times especially during dialogues she doesn't portray that boy-girl who is vicious and lethal during battles.

I don't know about Greyworm, maybe I'll have to watch his actor in a different role to agree with you.

Lena Headey is great in Cersie's role.

I just commented on Theon's acting in my response to Romanciella. The dude can act.

I don't quite agree with you about Yara's actor. I think she portrayed the role convincingly enough.

I won't say anything about good acting or worst acting on GoT because i enjoy watching them all. But if you think Theon is not acting well, then you need to know the difference between a 'Villain' and 'acting a villain' in a movie.
For me. Ramsey bolton really played his character well.

I agree with you that the acting of the actors who played Tyrion, The hound and Cersie have been amazing from season 1 up until now. This is the extent to which I agree with you.

Kit Harrington's (Jon Snow) performance has improved as the story has progressed. His acting wasn't really impressive in the first 2 seasons, but it has gotten better. Last season's performance was his best, and he deserved his Emmy's of

Massie William's(Arya) acting was very good in the first three seasons, when she was still little, but for me in recent episodes she isn't as powerful as an actress as she was. She isn't bad, but she isn't as good. She tends to fault a bit in her facial expressions. Or maybe it's just poor directing.

The Sand snakes are like the worst set of actors in the entire series. Their scenes are always cringy to watch. A grotesque combination of poor writing and poor acting.

Bronn and Edd's performance are just okay for their characters. Nothing spectacular.

Are you serious? Jamie and Theon are your worst actors? That's surprising because for me the top six actors in the show are:
Charles Dance( Tywin Lannister)
Alfie Allen( Theon Greyjoy)
Iwan Rhein (Ramsey Bolton)
Lena Headey( Cersei)
Jack Gleeson ( Prince Joffrey)
Sean Bean(Ned Stark)

One of the marks of a good actor is versatility. You can clearly see this quality evident in the character transformation of Jaime and Theon. Theon especially. It's not easy for a character to go from being an arrogant douche to a likeable level headed guy the way Jamie Lannister did. It's like the directors changed the actor after the first three seasons. Watch Theon in season one and compare him with Theon in season six. You can tell how good of an actor the guy playing him is.
His facial expressions and mannerisms are Ramsey tortured and broke him are difficult to convey and maintain, but he pulls them off flawlessly.

For me the worst actors are The Sand Snakes &
Emilia Clarke(Daenerys).



like seriously i thought i was the only one that hates khaleesi...i mean it was all good in season 1-3 when she was still a cute novice who has no idea how cruel the world is...but then she just suddenly changed and became power hungry, its getting annoying, plus they used to portray her in a very natural but cute way

Now i noticed her cheekbones have been highlighted given a light makeup appearance. Why are they trying too hard when they neva used to.

And we re back to them sand snakes..lol i told u before that i just fancied there acting/accent even though they had very little screentime

Bronn and edd where good with words
(i always imagined doing something worst than shoveling

Wat could be worst than shoveling

You lack imaginations)

( if u waste yr time trying to get people to like u, u will end up the most popular dead man)

(he went with the halfhand and hes not back, a good man will go with dead

Hes not dead yet, he has a valarian steel sword

So did his father)

I think you misunderstood my question. I am not asking who your favorite characters are. I am asking who you think the best actors in the show are, in terms of their acting and character delivery.

His face is always so expressive.

Theon obeyed the oldest and noblesse of the pirate tradition. He who fights and runaway lives to fight another day.

I'm rooting for Cersei to win this battle of the throne but it seems she gonna lose. So I'm pledging my allegiance to the night king.

On the contrary with the way events are unfolding,she may win.she has momentum and is ready to do anything to win.but i think the entry of jon stark or arya or any nternal problem in her camp will make daenarys win.but i see jon snow winning.the show is programmed to finish well so cersei who is villainous has to lose.but ill prefer a long drawn out battle of attrition.

It's hard to choose the worst actors in GOT because they have all done a very perfect job...but I'll take the acting of Tommen and those sand snakes girls, then I think Euron is not really showing a vicious villain. .

Best actors in no particular order however, will be, Tywinn, Tyrion, Arya, Joeffery, Bronn, Lady Ollena, Jon; Cercie, Sandor, Varys and Little finger


Ramsey also did an amazing job to me

PS its just a personal opinion. ..

Yeah, Ramsey really did an amazing job to me too. He was vicious, mostly savage and he did portray that role effectively, he is a good actor but cercie still remains my best villain..
The best Character to me remains Arya, it will really break my heart if she dies, followed by tyrion, jon and little finger.

Euron is also remarkable, wasn't expecting him to be such a villain, but then again it GOT, expect the unexpected..

sorry to bust your bubblet, this cascade of events that has had 5 kings dead so far with hundreds of thousands dead and displaced was started and orchestrated by little finger by worming his way into the late and gullible lysa arryns affections, got Jon arryn to investigate the paternity of cercei's brats, find out the truth, poison him dead, blame the lannisters and inform the starks starting a free for all decimating the nobility in the land drastically while scheming his way to the leadership of a region whose forces he kept out of the fray by guile leaving him a strong playing hand while attempting to play his way into power in the north by proxy of sansa and you call him unsuccessful?
