    If one's totally bored or something.....

    Take your fav tv show.. go to imdb.com. Look up the cast, and then screen the cast one by one for their portfolios. If it fancies, you could further the research by using wikipedia in addition.
    Very very seldom are there actors/actresses that are first timers.
    A cast more than often comes across as a couple or three known names and the rest are nobodies. But that's on the contrary rather the exception.

    I knew a few of them from before and I think that this video misrepresent their previous experiences quite a lot

    I know Charles Dance as the Patrician in Going Postal, a movie adaptation of Terry Pratchetts book with the same name.

    Never watched GoT, but I recognise some of them from things other than listed. Jason Momoa was in Stargate Atlantis

    Rory McCann (The Hound) also played the giant mentally challenged guy that could only say "Yarp" in Hot Fuzz. When I learned that, my brain melted.

    I had never heard or seen Peter Dinklage before.
    Lena Headly i saw one of her older appearances, but i knew her from 300
    Like in the video, first memory of Twyin is from Ali G
    I do recall Joffrey from Batman
    Like posted above, first time i saw the Hound was when he was this phalanx commander from the Alexander movie.

    I knew Lena Headey from Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Unless I looked away for a moment though, I don't remember seeing her in the video.

    I think my first exposure to Charles Dance was as Sardo Numspar in "The Golden Child" and Benedict in "Last Action Hero"

    The Fred Flintstone one surprised me.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    A Lannister always pays his debts.



    As to the others:

    Well, Eddard Stark dies in every other movie he's in
    Maester Pycelle is also in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade as Walter Donovan
    Viserys Targaryen and Jojen Reed share a Doctor Who episode during Tennant's tenure (Human Nature/Family of Blood)

    EDIT: Removed Cat Stark because it's in the video.

    Yup always makes me laugh that even if your a useless layabout druggy you can land a sweet TV role if your dad is Keith Allen, oh sorry I mean if you're really talented

    OT: Charles Danse is an amazing actor, he's been in truckloads of stuff and is pretty OP in most of it.
