‘Hey, they were in Game of Thrones’—Where else have you seen these 50 GoT cast members?
33) MICHIEL HUISMAN
Michiel Huisman was the second actor to play Daario Naharis, but his dreamy-eyed good looks won over the Queen of Dragons, if only for a time. In a 2015 interview with PopSugar, Huisman talked about how Thrones is a different animal compared to other TV shows or movies:
"If I compare the differences between shooting for TV shows versus film, then Game of Thrones doesn’t fit into either one. It’s a whole different experience. The scope is larger than any movie set I’ve ever been on. I worked on World War Z, which was this big production, and you could feel it in everything. But Game of Thrones feels like it’s up there."
Huisman has appeared in a number of Hollywood films — he played Ellis in World War Z (2013), Jonathan in Wild (2014) and Ellis Jones in The Age of Adeline (2015, above, with Blake Lively). His TV work is also impressive, having played Sonny on Treme (2010-2013), Liam McGuinnis on Nashville (2012-2014) and Cal Morrison on Orphan Black (2014-2015).
Huisman is a member of the Dutch Thrones contingent, which includes Carice Van Houten. Like her, he starred in a number of Dutch productions before breaking into the American scene. He even costarred with Van Houten in the Dutch World War 2 thriller Zwartboek (English: Black Book, photo above) in 2006.
We may not see a lot of Daario in 2017, and Huisman is taking advantage: his 2017 projects include The Ottoman Lieutenant, State Like Sleep, 2:22 and Irreplaceable You (filming).
