7. Izzy Meikle-Small

Izzy Meikle-Small was the second choice young actress to play Sansa Stark in the show, a role which has developed into one of the most important parts in Game of Thrones. Meikle-Small was narrowly beaten out by Sophie Turner, though does anybody else feel like she has a look of Arya Stark about her? The 19-year-old Great Expectations actress told the Huffington Post: "I was a bit sad, because the show€™s massive, but I€™m not that unhappy, because they all show a lot of flesh, don€™t they? I don€™t think my parents would be happy."
