Some Additional Trivia About The Cast

Here are some additional tidbits about the cast that we couldn’t find space for on the quiz but found interesting. This includes notes about the unaired pilot, critical acclaim, and more.

The Original Pilot

The producers originally shot a pilot for the series that they ended up scrapping. This includes recasting some major roles and more.

  • Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) didn’t play their roles in the original pilot of Game Of Thrones. Tamzin Merchant originally played the role of Daenerys and Jennifer Ehle originally played the role of Catelyn. Both were recast after the pilot was shot.
  • Ian McNeice originally played the role of Illyrio Mopatis in the pilot but he was replaced by Roger Allam.
  • Richard Ridings originally played the role of Gared in the pilot but he was replaced by Dermot Keaney.
  • Jamie Campbell Bower originally played the role of Ser Waymar Royce in the pilot but he was replaced by Rob Ostlere.
  • George R.R Martin also made a cameo in the original pilot but the footage never aired. He was one of the guests at the wedding of Khal Drogo and Daenerys.

Critical Response

  • Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for all 8 seasons. He won the award 4 times (season 1, 5, 7, and 8).
  • Lena Headey led the cast with 5 nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. No actress from Game Of Thrones won the award though.

Other Trivia

  • Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton) almost was cast in the role of Jon Snow. In an interview, Rheon revealed that casting came down to him and Kit Harrington for the role. Even though he didn’t get the role of Jon, the casting directors liked him enough to give him the role of Ramsay.
  • Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) was told that his character was going to die in the series by a fan.
