Game Of Thrones: 9 Biggest Over-Actors

In a show brimming with death-conquering ice demons, moody-teen dragons, and numerous squabbling kings, the Game of Thrones actors must rise to the occasion and produce phenomenally over-the-top performances to be noticed above the chaos. The vast majority of stars in the show were unknown before they were swept along on the Thrones ride, so this is their big chance to make a lasting impression, and they'd be mad not to take it. Over-actors aren't necessarily bad actors, not at all. It's just all about taking the role far beyond what anybody could've expected. Thrones is full of intense characters and the actors hired to play them often don't hold back when it comes to making sure every second of screen time is a second spent living and breathing as the character.

Thrones is a whole new ball game and he's taken intensity up to new levels. He trekked North of the Wall with Bran, Meera and Hodor in search of the mysterious three-eyed raven, and oh boy does he like to tell you about it. If he's not speaking in riddles, he's slowly, solemnly stating that they must keep heading north. Often he's doing them both at the same time, accompanied with a distant stare whenever possible.
