- Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) Peter Dinklage played the wisecracking and resourceful Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion was shunned by his father Tywin (Charles Dance) and sister Cersei (Lena Headey), but had a close relationship with his brother Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).

- Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen. Emilia Clarke gained a massive following since joining the series as a relative newcomer to acting.

- Maisie Williams as Arya Stark. Game of Thrones premiered just two days after Maisie Williams' 14th birthday. From the start, the actress was killing it (literally) as fan favorite Arya Stark — in her first-ever role, no less.

In the immediate aftermath of Game of Thrones, it made sense that the woman behind Cersei Lannister would be looking for a break. That final season was a lot. Her first post GOT credits were voice roles, including parts on Cartoon Network's Infinity Train and Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation. Last year, she joined an all-star cast that...
The Danish actor behind Kingslayer-with-a-heart-of-gold Jamie Lannister hasn't been on the screen much since the series ended. His 2020 thriller The Silencing, in which he starred opposite Annabelle Wallis, was swallowed up by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its South by Southwest premiere cancelled and ultimately a quiet VOD release on Di...
Considering the way Game of Thrones ended, few cast members retained the goodwill from the rest of the series as well as Christie did, as her Brienne ended the series knighted and heroic. She'd been cast in the J.J. Abrams-produced Star Wars trilogy before Thrones ended, but that was largely seen as a waste of her talents. Only recently did she fin...
Another Game of Thrones star whose post-show career sat on a shelf for a while, Maisie Williams's big follow-up to Arya was supposed to be New Mutants, the X-Men affiliated movie that also starred Anya Taylor-Joy. That film was originally slated to be released in April of 2018 but was subjected to numerous release-date changed amid bad buzz for the...
None of the Tullys met particularly cheerful ends, but poor surrendering Edmure sure went out on a down note. His portrayer, Tobias Menzies, however, was able to parlay that role (as well as his leading role on Outlander) into a memorable portrayal of Prince Philip on The Crown.
Queen Margaery was tragically killed when Cersei blew up the Sept of Baelor at the end of season six. Since then, Dormer has starred in films like the 2018 thriller In Darkness, which she also co-wrote, as well as the TV series Picnic at Hanging Rock for Amazon and Penny Dreadful: City of Angelsat Showtime.
Though she met a cruel fate at the hands of Littlefinger over the moon door, Kate Dickie managed to pivot off Game of Thrones to become an oft-occuring character actress. She played the mother of the Puritan family besieged by supernatural forces in director Robert Eggers's The Witch. Last year she played Queen Guenivere in The Green Knight. This p...
As the last woman standing in Dorne, Indira Varma endured one of the show's more wasted storylines, but at least she got some career opportunities out of the deal. 2022 has been a huge year for her, co-starring in the new Mission: Impossible movie and in the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
After Ygritte bit the big one north of the Wall on Game of Thrones, Rose Leslie was a hot commodity in Hollywood, ultimately getting a lead role opposite Christine Baranski on the Good Wife spinoff The Good Fight. She left the show after a few seasons, and she was most recently on the big screen as part of the big, starry ensemble of Death on the N...
After Jojen met his sad end north of the Wall, Thomas Brodie-Sangster hopped over to another series about people trapped by walls, starring in all three parts of the Maze Runner trilogy. In 2021, he got an Emmy nomination for his role as a chess rival/lover in Netflix's The Queen's Gambit.

- Jon Snow - Kit Harington. There seems to be a theme here with Game of Thrones alumni joining the MCU because Kit Harington was also in Eternals alongside his former half-brother, Robb Stark (Richard Madden).
