Sooner or later, all good things come to an end, and the finale of the Game of Thrones is just around the corner. There will be no more adventures of the heroes that we are so accustomed to over the years, but I don’t want to part with them at all.
That is why we suggest you find out in which other series the main actors were shot.
10. Charles Dance - Tywin Lannister
Before Charles Dance was invited to play the role of the head of the Lannister family, he had been active in film and television for several decades.
Of course, The Game of Thrones became his most famous work, but there are others besides it. If you miss the charisma of this British actor, then you can see him in the series "Jewel in the Crown" in 1984, which made Dance famous.
From the more recent, he appeared in the show “Journey to the End of the Earth” in 2005 (Benedict Cumberbatch and Jared Harris starred there), “And There Was No One” in 2015, “Crown” 2019.
9. Natalie Dormer - Margaery Tyrell
If we consider the career of Natalie Dormer in isolation from the Game of Thrones, then the series “The Tudors” immediately comes to mind, where the actress played a major role for the first two seasons and even appeared in the latter, but already as a ghost.
This role gave a strong impetus to her career, so she agreed to the role of Margaery Tyrell already as a star in the series.
Also noteworthy is her work in Elementary, an American rethinking of Sherlock Holmes, where Dormer tried on the image of Moriarty.
8. Ivan Reon - Ramsey Bolton
Simon Bellamy from the scandalous youth TV series "Garbage" was not the main character, but attracted a lot of attention.
A shy, timid and slightly silly guy who later becomes a hero - that is how everyone knew Ivan Reon.
If you like his game, but you don’t have the strength to watch the disgusting Ramsey Bolton, feel free to turn on the Dregs, where Reon’s character will delight 21 episodes.
By the way, he is engaged not only in acting, but also in music: composing music from the age of 16, he managed to release already 4 full albums, so that he can not only be seen, but also listened to.
7. Sean Bean - Ned Stark
Sean Bean, who is called the spoiler man (since his characters almost always die), made his debut on TV in 1984 in the then popular TV series “Purely English Killing,” but the role was insignificant.
Much more noteworthy is “The Adventures of the Royal Sharpshooter,” where Bean played the lead role.
The series, based on a series of novels "The Adventures of Richard Sharp" by the English writer Bernard Cornwell, began to be released in 1993. A total of 16 episodes were shot, the last of which was released in 2008.
6. Richard Dormer - Berik Dondarrion
Those who lack the thoughtfulness of Berik Dondarrion performed by Richard Dormer should watch the 3 seasons of the Fortitude show.
The measured British detective series is not full of action, but it is able to keep in suspense and bring surprises.
Dormer plays a major role here, and the company was made up of eminent actors Stanley Tucci, Christopher Eccleston and Michael Gambon.
5. Ian Glen - Jorah Mormont
Before becoming famous all over the world as the “king of the friend zone”, Ian Glen managed to appear on television in the series “Doctor Who”. He played Father Octavian in the two-part story Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone.
This was followed by The Game of Thrones, followed by a host of interesting works on television: Sir Richard Carlisle from Downton Abbey, Roland Holloway in Haven’s Secrets, Girolamo Savonarola in Borgia, Jacob from the Red Tent and others.
In general, it takes a lot of time to review all the series with this actor.
4. Rose Leslie - Igritt
This Scottish actress and wife of Keith Harington (who plays John Snow) before the "Game of Thrones" starred in the popular series, receiving, though not the main, but still a significant role.
In "Downton Abbey," she appears in 8 episodes, playing a maid named Gwen. In addition, she can be seen in two episodes of Utopia and Luther, as well as 10 episodes of The Good Struggle.
She also starred in the TV series Vera, Crimes of the Past and Misfortunes Abroad, but there are very few of her there, and the projects themselves do not differ in quality, so we will not recommend them.
3. Rory McCann - Sandor Cligan
Before getting the role of Sandor “Dog” Kligan, Rory (he, incidentally, is also a Scot) starred mainly in the movie “Brothers in the Mind”, “Big Game”, “Alexander”, “Beowulf and Grendel” and others .
As for television, the only thing worthy of attention is “Shameless” and “Exiles” with his participation. In the first series, he appeared in only 2 episodes, and in the second - in 4.
Both series turned out to be solid, and “Shameless” did receive BAFTA in the category “Best Drama TV Series”.
2. Lina Headey - Cersei Lannister
For the first time, the actress tried to work in the television series in the early 90s: “Second Screen”, “Ballyssissangel”, “Soldier, Soldier”. Everywhere she appeared in 1-3 episodes, but this was enough to become familiar and become recognizable primarily for producers.
In 1998, after a short “rest” from the series, Lina Headey returned to TV in The Great Merlin, where she perfectly got used to the role of Guinevere.
After that, she starred exclusively in films for almost 10 years, but in 2008 she could not refuse the offer to play Sarah Connor in the promising show “Terminator: The Battle for the Future”. Apart from Game of Thrones, this is her longest-playing role - 31 episodes.
Since receiving the role of Cersei Lannister in 2011, she no longer appears on TV, doing cinema and dubbing cartoons.
1. Keith Harington - John Snow
The asset of the 32-year-old actor at the moment is only 10 roles in film and television, so there’s especially nothing to choose from.
The role of John Snow became his debut at all and at first the Game of Thrones was completely enough for him, but gradually he began to accept other offers.
If you want to see Harington in an unusual way, then watch the British comedy “7 Days in Hell” from HBO or the three-part historical drama “Gunpowder” from BBC.
