Game Of Thrones: 10 Actors Whose "Acting" Is Distractingly Bad

2. Lino Faciolli - Robin Arryn

Oh, God: this actor... he's just the worst, isn't he? The only success that stems from casting such an inherently awful actor in this role is that it makes Robin Arryn super, infuriatingly annoying. He's just the most insufferable little brat since... well, Joffrey. But that doesn't mean that Lino Faciolli is playing him "well" - just that he's a terrible actor and every line that comes out of his mouth feels like acting poison. Seriously: how did they settle on this kid? He's genuinely incapable of being a scene without looking as though he has no idea he's even on a TV show. Does Faciolli know how insufferable he is? How is he going to feel in five or six years when he looks back at his performance here and realises that he's totally and utterly unbearable? So, uh, yeah: they got the detestable nature of this character spot-on, apparently. Shame that the acting couldn't match that.
