Game Of Thrones: 9 Biggest Over-Actors

6. Barry McGovern - 'Dying Man'

Here's a curveball entry but Barry McGovern deserves an immense pat on the back for taking the role of an unnamed dying peasant and owning the show for 3 whole minutes. But he's not just any old extra, as McGovern arrived on set with a wealth of theatre stage experience behind him. We bump into the character during his dying hours. He's bleeding out next to a well, watching the world go by and he fades out of it. Then Arya and the Hound stumble across his path. They listen to his dying words, each line delivered carefully, gravely and unnecessarily dramatically, before the Hound mercy-kills him. One of the world's biggest shows stopped everything to hear his tale of woe, and McGovern nailed it.
