00:00Finally, the sound of snow falling.
00:07Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down the biggest players in Game of Thrones
00:13and looking at what they've been up to since the show wrapped in 2019.
00:16There's not a single person on Earth I'd rather kill people with.
00:22Thanks mom.
00:24Number 10.
00:25Alfie Allen
00:26I want to fight for Winterfell, Lady Sansa.
00:31If you'll have me.
00:32Theon Greyjoy was a hard character to like in the first two seasons, but through some
00:38harrowing experiences and Alfie Allen's strong performance, audiences grew to cheer
00:43for him.
00:44Allen earned an Emmy nomination once the show finished, and hasn't slowed down since.
00:49In 2019, he took on more light-hearted work, appearing in Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit
00:55as well as the coming-of-age comedy How to Build a Girl.
00:58We must never forget that it's a miracle when anyone gets anywhere from a bad postcode.
01:03And we must always be respectful of miracles.
01:08He's appeared in several TV shows in smaller roles, but in 2022, he made his Broadway debut
01:14in Martin McDonagh's Hangmen, for which he earned a Tony nomination.
01:18Next he'll play the lead role in McVeigh about the infamous Oklahoma City bomber, a
01:24performance that has already received praise at the Tribeca Film Festival.
01:27What is dead may never die.
01:30Number 9.
01:31John Bradley.
01:32I can't steal her.
01:33She's a person, not a goat.
01:36Game of Thrones featured a lot of characters hardened by life.
01:39Samuel Tarly wasn't one of them.
01:42John Bradley played the soft-mannered brother of the Night's Watch to a T, and has appeared
01:47in several other high-profile roles since.
01:49In 2022, he took on supportive roles in director Roland Emmerich's disaster film Moonfall,
01:56as well as the Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez-led rom-com Marry Me.
02:01People love their artists to bare their souls, then vilify them if they go too far.
02:04Well, I'm not going to let them do that to her.
02:06Although neither of those films performed particularly well with critics or audiences,
02:11it was interesting to see Bradley spread his wings with vastly different material.
02:16He reunited with the creators of Game of Thrones for Netflix's Three-Body Problem in 2024,
02:22for which he has stated he hopes will make audiences see him in a different light.
02:26There has to be a bigger mission.
02:28There always is.
02:29Number 8.
02:30Ian Glenn.
02:31There's a beast in every man, and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.
02:35As Jorah Mormont, Ian Glenn played a steadfast ally to Daenerys Targaryen.
02:41Loyal out of love, Glenn embodied the character's sense of duty.
02:45He's appeared in a few movies, such as Disney Plus's Black Beauty, but has mostly stuck
02:50to TV work since Game of Thrones finished.
02:52He showed up in DC's Titans, where he played the iconic Bruce Wayne in the second and third seasons.
02:58That wasn't exactly on great terms.
03:00In my experience, when people part, it rarely is.
03:04He played another supportive character in Apple TV's Silo as Dr. Pete Nichols, and
03:10voiced the weary Just Belmont in Netflix's Castlevania Nocturne.
03:15But if you're interested in seeing him in a leading role, you can catch him on the Amazon
03:18Prime series The Rig, about a group of oil rig workers who must contend with supernatural forces.
03:24I'm responsible for everyone.
03:26But you always think you could do better, right?
03:28What's your great idea?
03:29Come on.
03:30You know best.
03:31You tell me.
03:32Number 7.
03:33Nikolai Coster-Waldau.
03:34The things I do for love.
03:38Jamie Lannister had a stellar redemption arc on Game of Thrones, and Nikolai Coster-Waldau
03:43nailed the character's drive.
03:45Since wrapping the show, his work has been a bit outside the mainstream.
03:49In addition to starring in multiple films from his native country Denmark, his work
03:53in the U.S. has been more low-profile.
03:55He played the lead role in thrillers like Brian De Palma's Domino, and Nick Cassavetes'
04:00God is a Bullet.
04:01He also starred in the Apple TV mystery series The Last Thing He Told Me, alongside Jennifer Garner.
04:07I was so surprised this was happening.
04:13I got to sit, have dinner, and be with you.
04:18It was just...
04:21I felt that part of my life was over.
04:23DC fans may have seen him pop up in a cameo for 2023's The Flash, which reunited him
04:29with MAMA director Andy Muschietti.
04:32Next he'll play William the Conqueror in BBC and CBS's King and Conqueror.
04:36When the gods won't mind, they spill more blood than the rest of us combined.
04:41Number 6.
04:42Maisie Williams.
04:43A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I'm going home.
04:49Maisie Williams played the fan-favorite dueler Arya Stark, and has kept very busy since the
04:54show ended, in more ways than one.
04:57She jumped into the thriller genre in 2020 with The Owners and Marvel's The New Mutants.
05:02She also hasn't shied away from deep TV roles, such as the miniseries Pistol based
05:07on the UK punk group The Sex Pistols, and Apple TV's The New Look, which tells the
05:13beginning of the Dior fashion brand in World War II era Paris.
05:16You can be too concerned, overly, pointlessly concerned, and fussy, and all it does is cause
05:24you to worry more.
05:25She hasn't just stuck to acting though.
05:27In addition to co-founding a production company and the artistic-centric social media platform
05:32Daisy during the show's run, she's also an environmental activist.
05:36In 2021, she became a global ambassador for the World Wildlife Fund.
05:41We need nature, and it needs us.
05:44Number 5.
05:45Sophie Turner
05:46You're going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton.
05:53Sleep well.
05:54As Sansa Stark, Sophie Turner's performance upheld grace and dignity in a world in desperate
06:00need of it.
06:012019 was a bit of a rough year professionally speaking.
06:04On top of the divisive final season, she reprised her role of Jean Grey in the panned
06:09Dark Phoenix.
06:10Since then, she's taken on smaller but meatier roles, such as Margaret Ratliff in the Max
06:15Drama miniseries The Staircase.
06:18If you didn't watch Netflix's 2022 dark comedy Do Revenge, you likely still saw one
06:23of her scenes as it went fairly viral.
06:25I don't do cocaine!
06:27You don't even know what it looks like.
06:30I don't know what it looks like!
06:32On the personal side, Turner married singer Joe Jonas in 2019, giving birth to two daughters
06:38in 2020 and 2022.
06:40Sadly, Jonas filed for divorce in 2023.
06:44Joe states in the filing, quote, the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.
06:50Number 4.
06:51Emilia Clarke
06:52Emilia Clarke became a pop culture icon in Daenerys Targaryen, and received four Emmy
06:57nominations for her portrayal.
06:59I will do what queens do.
07:05I will rule.
07:06It was no easy feat.
07:08In 2019, Clarke opened up about two brain hemorrhages she suffered while filming the
07:13series.
07:14She also founded her own charity, Same You, to help younger people suffering from brain
07:19injuries, which earned her a Public Leadership in Neurology award from the American Brain
07:23Foundation in 2020.
07:25In terms of acting, she starred in the holiday rom-com, Last Christmas, and joined the MCU
07:30as Gaia in the Secret Invasion miniseries.
07:33That's not who we are, and that is not who I've become.
07:41Next, she'll play historical figures Jean Kerr in McCarthy and Constance Lloyd in An
07:46Ideal Wife, as well as play a lead role in Netflix's animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's
07:52The Twits.
07:53I will do what queens do.
08:05Number 3.
08:06Lena Headey
08:07When you play the Game of Thrones, you win, or you die.
08:11Game of Thrones had many villains, but Cersei Lannister may have been its best.
08:15Lena Headey played her phenomenally, earning five Emmy noms across the series.
08:20Since then, it's more likely you've heard her rather than seen her.
08:24She voiced characters in Dark Crystal, Age of Resistance, Infinity Train, and Netflix's
08:29Masters of the Universe Revelation.
08:37You may have also heard her in the video game The Artful Escape, or as Superman's mother,
08:42Lara Lorvan, in DC League of Super Pets.
08:45Of course, she hasn't just stuck to voice work.
08:47She starred in the 2021 action comedy Gunpowder Milkshake, and you can currently find her
08:53on the MGM Plus sci-fi series Beacon 23.
09:01Number 2.
09:02Kit Harington
09:08With his incredible fighting skills and unbreakable sense of humor, Jon Snow was one of the easier
09:13heroes to root for in Game of Thrones.
09:16Since finishing the show, Kit Harington has only made a few more appearances.
09:20The most noteworthy was as Dane Whitman, aka Black Knight, in the 2021 MCU film Eternals.
09:33He also starred in the 2023 thriller Blood for Dust, but his franchise work has hit a
09:38bit of a roadblock.
09:39He began developing a Jon Snow spinoff series in 2022, but plans fell through in 2024.
09:46At the same time, he also revealed things were unclear about when his Marvel character
09:50would show up again.
09:51He'll next star in the supernatural horror flick The Beast Within.

10:19Peter Dinklage
10:24With pitch-perfect casting and fantastic writing, Tyrion Lannister was a favorite among favorites.
10:30The role turned Peter Dinklage into a star, winning him four Emmys and a Golden Globe.
10:35And he has only expanded his repertoire since.
10:38He's appeared in Family Friendly Fair, voicing characters in The Angry Birds Movie 2, and
10:43Transformers Rise of the Beasts.
10:45He earned his second Golden Globe nomination for 2021's Cyrano, based on the play he
10:50starred in that was written by his wife, Erica Schmidt.
11:00He then joined the Hunger Games franchise through its 2023 prequel, and appeared in
11:05Jerry Seinfeld's 2024 Netflix comedy, Unfrosted.
11:09Dinklage is an incredibly varied performer.
11:11Next, he'll appear in another adaptation of a play, this time as Dr. Dillamond in Wicked.
11:24What's your favorite performance of a Game of Thrones cast member outside of the show?
11:29Let us know in the comments.
11:30She wasn't prepping us to be X-Men, she was prepping us to be killers.
