9. Viserys Targaryen (Harry Lloyd)
Oh how I miss Viserys and his blinded, naive aspirations of ruling Westeros. It all seems so long ago now; selling his sister to a brute, standing by watching her get raped and eventually having to pay the price for his egotistic mission. It's a credit to young Brit Harry Lloyd that he left such an impression in his short time on the show (and definitely the best death with it - oop spoiler!). Much like on-screen sister Emilia Clarke, Lloyd's hair is not naturally that shade of Targaryen blonde and as a result, his profile changes quite drastically. One could be forgiven for not recognizing Lloyd from anything else, but in truth, he's been present in a few well received BBC dramas in his relatively short acting career. He played the affable Herbert Pocket in the 2011 version of Great Expectations (The Gillian Anderson/Ray Winstone version, apposed to the more recent Helena BC/Ralph Fiennes incarnation). As well as that, he appeared as Will Scarlett in the Robin Hood series, and also Baines the pretentious public school boy in the Doctor Who two-parter, Human Nature and Family of Blood. Supporting roles in The Iron Lady and the Michael Fassbender version of Jane Eyre have also set him firmly on the film route too! We have high hopes for Harry!
