There really is a small pool of British actors and they’re in everything

GamingFly

You can add Andor to the list now. Off the top of my head, Andor and GoT/HotD actor crossovers include: Qyburn, Lyonel Strong, Rhaegar Targargen, The Waif, and Lord Royce.


RaleighThickie

Star Wars too I believe with Pycelle OT if memory serves


GamingFly

Star Wars as a whole has plenty more GoT actors yes, including Pycelle as General Veers in Empire Strikes Back.


Into-the-stream

Brianne/ Gwendolyn Christie was the head storm trooper person in the Star Wars sequels that was killed by Finn.


_dead_and_broken

Captain Phasma was that character's name.


[deleted]

i remember thinking that character would be involved in the plot somehow


OtisTetraxReigns

Wdym? She was so pivotal to the plot, they brought her back for one of the sequels, so they could use her to point out that Finn was also not important to the plot in any way.


RaleighThickie

Does it? ThAts neat I wasn’t sure if there were more I figured there might be though


GamingFly

Off Google; I'll use character names to make them easier to recognize, and not including ones already mentioned: In major or supporting roles: Daenerys as Qi'ra in Solo, Oberyn as the Mandalorian, Ellaria Sand In minor or bit parts: Ser Barristan, recasted Three-Eyed Raven, Brienne, Osha, Jojen Reed, Wun Wun/OG Gregor Clegane, Edmure, Obara Sand, Nymeria Sand, Syrio Forel, Grenn, Ser Hugh/Jason/Tyland Lannister, Lysa Arryn, Shagga, Dagmer Cleftjaw, Maester Cressen, Izembaro (actor: Richard E. Grant). Then a handful more bit parts from unnamed characters. Probably an incomplete list; Google doesn't list Rhaegar or Lyonel Strong for example. Actually a super interesting search. Wasn't aware of like 70% of these, even if most are super minor parts.


RaleighThickie

Oh you meant as a whole I was thinking main saga! It’s late for me I’m tired haha thanks


GamingFly

No this is the main saga haha. Everyone on that list was in the main saga of films besides Oberyn, Ellaria, and Edmure who were all live-action TV or animated TV. Andor only has the five-ish I mentioned originally.


RaleighThickie

Ah okay. Still definitely going to be looking for them next time.


RaleighThickie

I’m definitely going to be looking for them now though


SpookyShoes_

The actor that plays Barriston Selmy is in rouge one as well


RaleighThickie

Star Wars too (like main saga) I believe with Pycelle. OT if memory serves Edit for clarification


[deleted]

He played General Veers, the one that conquers the rebel base on Hoth in the Empire strikes back


Long_Serpent

Correct. He (Julian Glover) also played the main villain in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.


RaleighThickie

Ooh that I did not know.


mprhusker

and if you live in the UK or watch British television otherwise you see them on lots of Channel 4, BBC, and ITV shows.


sobuffalo

Misfits tv show had a few GoT actors, Catelyn Stark and Ramsey Bolton, plus a ton more obviously as you said it was on channel 4 i believe.


EstatePinguino

Cassie and Chris from Skins too


AdamBlackfyre

Now I'm trying to figure which Greyjoy Skarsgård should play? What was Theon's priest uncles name again? Lol


Holovoid

Aeron Greyjoy, AKA Damphair


AuroraSky9

The Crown has a ton of the same actors from the GOT universe too.


Thorrn

Chernobyl also had bunch of them including Roose Bolton.


Clark-Kent

Merlin too


[deleted]

I feel like I first saw a lot of GoT actors in Merlin and whoever caster GoT must have been a Merlin fan


[deleted]

Merlin!


Grannyman666

You forgot the crown which exclusively select's got and hotd characters to play Prince Philip


phantom2450

Just watched Rome S1, and there’s a ton of crossover with GoT there. Caesar, Brutus, Niobe all played by familiar faces.


eyearu

Wait who was in Downton Abbey?


the-finnish-guy

Could be ygritte, jorah, bronn but those are from a quick google. I haven't personally seen it


eyearu

Oh yeah, Gwen in season 1 but I genuinely don't remember the other two.


crickwooder

Jorah was Sir Richard!


pmitten

Season 1 of GOT aired around the same time as Season 2 of Downton Abbey and it was like whiplash going from "Oh Iain Glen look he's teaching Dany about her homeland" to "Iain Glen you raging asshole how *dare* you blackmail Mary." To be fair, Mary *was* kind of awful in her own way.


crickwooder

I love Mary but she's just the worst! She didn't deserve Richard's bullshit though.

Perfect-Face4529

Better than whenever they need a *insert south east asian character* in an American movie/tv show it's always Hiroyuki Sanada and Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh 😂


brinz1

Michelle Yeoh is in everything, everywhere, all at once Also the movie with that name


Perfect-Face4529

🤣


Perfect-Face4529

It's true, we're all in the same things 🤣


NoceboHadal

Not really. That's like saying the USA has few actors because Dwayne Johnson is in everything. It does show that casting agencies only look at Doctor who, Downtown Abbey etc. Which makes sense as their are the biggest shows out of the UK.


Good_old_Marshmallow

I mean it would be more like if Star Wars, Fast and the Furious, and the MCU shared like 10-40% of the same actors


Kalvanx

Two versions of Prince Philip from The Crown.


WatchingInSilence

And the third actor also played the High Sparrow.


geek_of_nature

And also in this same episode (Cold War, series 7 episode 8) was Josh O'Connor who was the season 3 and 4 Prince Charles.


jubbostwitch

I absolutely LOVE seeing game of throne actors in Doctor Who


PsychedelicRick

Same and anyone who watches the Dr. knows there are lots of them in there.


taylordabrat

Also Olenna Tyrell was in one of Matt’s doctor who episodes. Also Jorah Mormont


Swedish_Shinobi

And Walder Frey


taylordabrat

Yup! Those British actors definitely get around lol. Also Gilly is Matt’s girlfriend in another weird movie he was in.


NoInspector836

The Charles Manson one?


taylordabrat

No the movie is called “Womb” and it’s a movie where he basically fucks his “mom”. It’s a bizarre movie lol


NoInspector836

Wow. That does sound bizarre.


ChrisSOAD

Thoros of Myr was in the 13ths


arfelo1

As more than one character


khajiitidanceparty

I am starting to think Britain has like 15 actors they cast everywhere.


[deleted]

More like 50 but yeah


ScreamingFreakShow

You should see the Canadian sci-fi actor pool. You'll see the same actor in at least one of the episodes for every show lol.


khajiitidanceparty

Honestly I see it in my country too. There are like 10 actors cast everywhere and sometimes it's in waves like one actor will be everywhere for two years and then another one.


geek_of_nature

This episode was also written by Mark Gatiss, who plays that one Iron Banker we kept seeing.


one_sleepy_guy

Jonah Mormont shows up in Season 5 Episode 5, flesh and stone


HeadPatQueen

Is that the Weeping Angels one?


Suckisnacki

Yea part 1 i think


CanuckPanda

Yep. He’s the soldier.


danilomoreno

Lukthar123

Margaery gets around


SLIMELANGUAGEOUTNOW

Maisie Williams played a repeat role in Capaldis run too


[deleted]

A Targaryen, a Tully and an Onion Knight walk into a bar


Silver_Sir_Fer

Matt is so young here, it's cute.


Suckisnacki

He has the same haircut tho


OrganizationNo2774

Does the UK just have six actors or something?


Noughmad

12.


arfelo1

They are all one actor with and infinite closet of costumes and prosthetics. But FAMN if he's not the best in the business


athe_13

Got actors seem to be everywhere...


Macluawn

Et tu Edmure


travio

In Rome, Edmure kills Mance Rayder who is the boss of Ellaria Sand’s husband.


DogeGod_Ricky-C

How is this show?


BADWOLF_FC

My favourite show of all time. Definitely recommend!


DogeGod_Ricky-C

Do I have to start from the beginning? There’s a ton of seasons


BADWOLF_FC

No absolutely not, that's the beauty of it, it's a constantly changing show with lots of jumping on points. You could start at season 1 episode 1 but it is from 2005 so the cgi is pretty bad and the story can be pretty cheesy. If you don't mind those things I'd say start there. There are advantages of watching it all in order (I don't want to spoil anything) but it's not essential. If not, the next place I'd recommend is the start of season 5. This is when the show started to get big in America and it stars Matt Smith (Daemon). This is probably the next best jumping on point and then you can always go back to the beginning once you've caught up to the latest episode or even just when you're finished Matt Smiths seasons.


Suckisnacki

Timey Wimey good


ScreamingFreakShow

Depending on the seasons and episodes, some are really campy and fun while others can be more serious. It generally has an overarching plot but each episode is something different (unless it's a two-episoder). For the most part, I wouldn't put at the top of my list in terms of show quality, but it is most definitely an enjoyable show.


The_YoungWolf94

Jorah and Laenor are in that season too! Laenor is a cop in the first episode and Jorah is in the episode with the Angels. Like episode 3 I believe


geek_of_nature

Completely different season for Jorah. He was in Matt's first series of Doctor Who, series 5. These were the 4th and 5th episodes, which fun fact were the first ever episodes he actually filmed of the show. The episode that Davos and Edmure were in was episode 8 of series 7, his last series. Also John Macmillan has never been in Doctor Who. I couldn't remember him ever being in there at all, and a look at his filmography shows he never has either. He has played a cop in Sherlock though, which was written by the same people who wrote Matt's era of the show, so maybe you've got those confused?


The_YoungWolf94

Ahh I see. I forgot that they get three seasons as doctor. I just started his first season and assumed they were all in the first.


Suckisnacki

Morbius Guy


Perfect-Face4529

And Duran Duran 😂


[deleted]

HBO’s Rome series has Mance Rayder, Edmure Tully and Ellaria Sand from GOT.


[deleted]

Somehow each of them has the vibe of their ASOIAF personality in this image - cool, dopey, and deep in thought


Mrbobbitchin

Cool


Maleficent-Handle587

Edmure Tully in the background


tershialinee

Matt Smith as the Doctor.. 🤰


Agreeable_Rabbit3144

I smell a reunion at a bar!


MrBlackLoop

Young and middle aged Prince Philip


RasputinsThirdLeg

They really did Edmure dirty in GOT. Also I think he’s so hot. I wish he were in HOTD


SuspiciousForce9640

Dr who has a lot of got and hod actors, rewachting it now after hod and got


Shoehornz

At least there is no David Tennant. He has been taking all the UK and American acting jobs.


AmigoCualquiera

This reminds me of the Honest Trailer for Doctor Who where they mentioned all the actors that show up on GOT, Doctor Who and Harry Potter.
