Child actors are a tricky beast. Game of Thrones has done well with some of them, such as Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran wasn't the best character but he was well-played), but some of the others haven't quite been up there. Lino Facioli is one of them.

The ludicrous son of Lisa Arryn, Catelyn's appalling sister, Robin Arryn is another intentionally repulsive kid character from Game of Thrones. He's meant to be annoying and Facioli succeeds with this, but his performance is still too shrieky and over-the-top to be considered particularly good. His scene with Sansa in season four, in which he destroys her snow replica of Winterfell, was particularly cringe-worthy.

Unlike some of the other child actors, he didn't seem to improve with age either. He was just as wooden in his scenes in later seasons.
