    Yes, Michelle Fairley with her 56 previous credits, and 4 films in post-production/filming. Flash in the pan.

    And Richard Madden (Robb): 14 credits including 4 films in post-production. On a career slide...

    Re: Game of Thrones

    I love the show, and I'll have to pick up the books at some stage - I'd never heard of them before the show aired.

    Still bowled over by "The Rains of Castamere" episode. Incredible.

    Utterly gob-smacked - just staring at the screen thinking "wait, what?! You can't do that!". That's season finale fodder!

    Yes but hardly well known or household names are they ?

    Hell, even Dinkalage was prob only known for ELF till GOT.

    Hang on, your point was that this would be the biggest thing they'll ever do, whereas they both have clearly moved on to new projects. Madden is still young, so I would say he will probably go on to bigger and better things.

    It might well be , just because hes young means zero , I would hardly say he was the best actor in GOT either TBH , ok - yes but hardly memorable compared to the rest ?

    Its not like hes got the pure sex appeal of an Emilia Clarke to rely on either.

    As for upcoming projects , do you really think Klondike or Cinderella sound like they are indication of great things to come ? ( Note 1 is tv series too )

    I don't understand that. You'd expect the actors to familiarise themselves with the books, so it couldn't have been a surprise to her.

    Personally, I'm rather glad I haven't read the books - spoilers would've diminished my shock and admiration at the events in the Frey household.

    You share a great moment with anyone that you helped create - plus the hours spent together creating it and i can quite easily understand it because as soon as you achieve those sort of highs never usually come again - esp with what has probably being the biggest phenomena since Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter ( and wheres orlando bloom etc now ? )

    with her im more sure its because she got so `in touch` with her character , that even though they would have known how the scene went , the high level of emotion for the final take (and I think I read they did it in 1 take ) then it was `over` in the way it ended.
