Lena Headey





Sometimes I feel like the TV Cersei is better written/acted than the book.

Up until this season it was easily Emilia Clarke's tits.

Dinklage owns everyone.

Long list of solid actors on this show:

Dinklage - well recognized with an Emmy and a Golden Globe

Headey - very believable and consistent as Cersei but no awards so far

Gleeson - a perfect Joffrey and should receive an Emmy or Globe for his performance

Fairley - also a perfect Catelyn

Clarke - starting to hit her stride as Daenerys develops on screen

Harrington - they could not have found a better Jon Snow

Madden - another excellent casting as Robb Stark

Williams - this young actress is doing a fine job as Arya, might be the most underrated of the entire bunch

Turner - another seemingly perfect casting as Sansa Stark

The list goes on and on. Honestly this might be the best overall ensemble of darn near perfect casting for any show to date. Oh and Margery aka Natalie Dormer is still smokin' hot.

When I first saw Tywin's stare, I was expecting to see a glass eye with a bullseye on it



But, I really think Shae is the only person who certainly won't be in the best actor/actress discussion

Although she's not a major character, Grandma Tyrell is very-well acted.

The funny thing about Shea is that Sibel Kekili is probably the most critically acclaimed actor going into this. That nose job was a mistake too IMHO.

You're absolutely right. She's won the German best actress award twice I believe. Her character is a product of poor writing and lack of understanding of character

Indeed, her job in Head On was tight. Perhaps something is lost in translation as well but that is to be determined.

I have to recommend her porn as well where she doesn't have to open her mouth.

EDIT: Well, you know what I mean.

If I had to rank them:

1) Varys (even GRRM has said that the actor who plays him is almost identical to how he first imagined him)
2) Tyrion
3) Arya
4) Joffrey
5) Tywin

No love for Liam Cunningham as Davos Seaworth?

I think the guy who does Varys is the best on the show. With Charles Dance as a close second.

Emilia Clarke isn't terrible anymore still not great anymore

James Cosmo did a great job but I am a little biased towards him

Peter Dinklage is probably the best IMO. And that's saying something because there's a ton of great actors/actresses on this show right now. Easily one of the better ensemble casts on TV at the moment.

Love him or hate him but it's Gleesons's King Joffrey that is the best performance.

Tyrion
Joffrey

Hell, I might as well name the whole cast. It's all so good.

Kit Harrington is pretty pedestrian as Jon Snow at best

Charles Dance and Peter Dinklage have been amazing anytime they are on screen. The guy playing Varys is pretty damn good as well.
