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

9. Maisie Williams - Arya Stark

Sorry, Maisie Williams: you're really cool, but your acting is all over the place. That's not to say Williams hasn't put in a consistent performance outside of Game of Thrones (she's very good in the recent film The Falling, for example), just that things are a bit off here. So whilst Williams isn't a terrible actress, it's the consistency of her performance that renders it distracting: sometimes she'll deliver a line brilliantly, and you'll say: "Okay, she's not bad," and then five minutes later audiences are being treated to a moment of what can only be described as "anti-acting," which almost always borders on the cringeworthy. "At least Maisie is perfectly fine half the time, though," you might say, and that's a fair point: she could be endlessly terrible, and that would be bad, bad, bad. But there's something even more frustrating about an actor who swaps between being serviceable and awkward on a whim because you know there's some actual talent fighting to come through.
