10 Awful Films Game Of Thrones Actors Want Us To Forget
It's been a long old winter for the stars of Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones was one of the most culturally significant titles of the modern-day, and certainly was a founding titan in the new and improved world of television. The show's popularity was to such an extent that even the actors ended up becoming just as beloved with fans as the characters they portrayed. Thus anytime that they appeared in a movie outside of GOT audiences would eagerly follow.
Often this proved to be a great outcome, as the talented performers could show off their skills and star power in a great setting, examples include Lena Headey in Dredd, Peter Dinklage in Days of Future Past and Charles Dance in many different projects. However, this was not always a recipe for success, as certain actors struggled to make a name for themselves after the show finished.
Much like Game of Thrones itself, their careers faltered as the series progressed, and now that it is over the majority of them are likely looking to make sure they stay in the spotlight. To do that, they are going to need general audiences to forget about these dreadful projects they signed on for.
10. Charles Dance - Alien 3
We start with a film that precedes his time in Game of Thrones, with the wonderful Charles Dance in the dreadful Alien 3. Going back and watching this movie is difficult enough, but it is made even stranger by witnessing Dance in an earlier stage of his life just beginning to carve a name for himself.
The issues surrounding this entry in the Xenomorph series mostly come down to the fact that it is unbelievably boring. Alien brought us an incredibly tense space encounter with a vicious, deadly hunter, and Aliens delivered on the same premise but converted it into an action-packed overrun adrenaline fest. Alien 3 attempts to meld the two but fails utterly.
It is a dull Sci-Fi outing that begins the descent of this franchise and Dance matches this energy in his relatively weak portrayal. Often playing stoic and strong characters, here he acts as a Doctor who works at the space prison the film is set in and brings a very dull and uncharismatic performance to the table.
Dance has stated that he believes studio interference was what doomed this movie to mediocrity. Thankfully unlike other entries on this list, he has escaped the pull of his worst outings. Yet still, it's probably a moment on his resume he'd rather be forgotten.
