[ibibiotutorials]

The boy that acted Joffrey was so good that the whole world hated him

[Fafancina]

Charles Dance as Tywin is just unbeatable.

[svresh]

I loved every word that came out of Charles Dance's mouth as Tywin

[TheQuatum]

Sean as Ned Stark literally couldn't have been any better, he portrayed the honor and sadness so so well

[supermegaguy]

The fact that every comment lists a different character shows how truly great this cast really was.

[daemondif]

Everyone forgetting Jack Gleeson as Joffrey, he was perfect.

[Lady_Vengeance]

Some love for Rory McCann’s portrayal of The Hound here

[legendsofstarwars]

"The main thing is... not to rush the story."

My god, when was this recorded?!?!?

[saradavis]

Drogon is my Personal favorite. No other dragon actor could have pulled off the emotional range or breathed fire for that long. Great Casting choice

[RexVenge]

Personally, I think Ghost was the most accurate. He was written as a good boi, he's portrayed as a good boi. Even the actor was a good boi. Perfect casting.

[almightysosa]

Why does George always look like he’s either getting ready for or coming back from conducting a train

[baleedat]

So many, but the Lannister’s killed it, in terms of accurately portraying the character

Joffrey
Tywin
Cersei
Jaime
Tyrion

They were some of the very best

[livhodgson]

Lena Headey is absolutely outstanding as Cersei and so deserved the Emmy

[MJHDRi]

Despite him being kind of creepy in the books, Ian Glen's Jorah was amazing. Him and Alfie Allen's Theon are 2 of the only characters who had satisfying arcs in the show. They did not get enough credit for their portrayals imo

[BootlegFightVideo]

Ed Sheeran was born to be Lannister Soldier #4.

[identifymenot]

Liam Cunningham as Davos I thought was a perfect casting choice

[wesley]

Lena Headey's performance added a layer of complexity and humanity to Cersei's character. It's easy for the portrayal to flop to a one-dimensional villain. But its fascinating how Lena can portray vulnerability and narcissism at the same time.

[loganbennie]

Natalie Dormer as Margaery and Diana Rigg as Olenna are the best casting choices I have ever seen

[MindfulnessGamer]

Jason Momoa was perfect as Khal Drogo. Absolutely nailed it.

[TheQuatum]

Theon literally was perfect from book to show, Alfie was incredible. Bronn was also incredible, you can NEVER tell he's acting. Bronn literally feels like he'd be the same guy in real life
