13 Game Of Thrones Actors You Didn't Realise Were In Popular Video Games

6. Richard Madden (Robb Stark) - Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2 (Alucard)

Clearly recruited to bring some of his high-end candour to one of gaming's most badass nobles, Richard Madden was likely hired to "just be Robb Stark", though his performance has quite a lot of range, really making for a fantastic turn as Alucard.

As Dracula's son, Alucard is beloved by many, thanks to starring in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. You can really hear the middle Englishness of a Stark coming through during weightier scenes, though hilariously - mostly because the actor himself is from Elderslie, Scotland - once things start heating up, Alucard's accent shifts into letting some Scottish come through.

Regardless, clearly Konami wanted to inject their almost 30 year-old character with a side of Thronesian charm, and though the Lords of Shadow games tend to rub many Castlevania fans the wrong way, at least Alucard was a notable highlight.
