3. Stannis Baratheon (Stephan Dillane)
Stephen Dillane is another well now British face to be embroiled in the tangling web of Westeros and only adds quality to the already exceptional cast list. Ever the character actor, Dillane's career has ranged from Shakespeare (in the appearance of Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet) to espionage flicks (ala Spy Game with Brad Pitt and Robert Redford). He's also done his share of television, including the recent BBC drama 'Hunted' and the TV Mini-Series 'John Adams'. Other roles have seen him play Merlin in Clive Owen's King Arthur, Glen Hoy in both Goal! 1 and Goal! 2 and a small part in Kathryn Bigalow's 'Zero Dark Thirty'.
