Game Of Thrones Cast: Where Are They Now?

20. Lena Headey

Game Of Thrones Seasons Ranked 2
HBO

One of the strongest performers of our generation, Lena Headey was once known for her heroic performance as Sarah Connor in the beloved-but-short-lived Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but she managed to outshine that with her deliciously villainous work as Cersei Lannsiter throughout all eight seasons of Game of Thrones.

Though she too was ultimately wasted in the final season - by spending most of it standing by a window drinking wine - the former occupant of the Iron Throne has moved back to the big screen, starring in British drama The Flood and WWE's biographical sports comedy Fighting With My Family. She's set to play the role of Sikes in the upcoming Oliver Twist reimagining, Twist, and she recently completed production on thriller Gunpowder Milkshake.

Aside from all that, she also recently wrote and directed her own short film (starring GoT's Michelle Fairley) and lent her voice to animated shows Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Infinity Train, as well as Netflix's Dark Crystal sequel series Age of Resistance.
