10 Best Performances In Game Of Thrones
5. Maisie Williams - Arya Stark
Thrones is known for how lucky it got with casting its inexperienced and young actors. The amount of child actors required for a show that was this demanding could have been a daunting task. Most of them paid off, with Sophie Turner really growing into the part of Sansa and late editions like Bella Ramsey stealing scenes as Lyanna Mormont.
If there is one child star that stands above the rest though, it is the incredible work from Maisie Williams who started off amazing and somehow continued to get better as she grew up. The rebellious and wild Stark girl was crucial to the success of Thrones as her character's importance is significant from the very beginning.
A lot of narrative weight is placed on Arya's shoulders and Williams commits to it whole heartedly. Her performance as Arya is delightful and emotionally arresting and she has proven herself to be an exceptional performer as a result. Maisie Williams' work as Arya Stark may very well be one of the greatest young performances in history.
