2. Bart the Bear
Number of episodes: 1
Character name: The Bear
It’s okay if you forget about the animal actors. To be honest, a lot of people don’t realize that some animals are specifically trained to appear on TV. They don’t realize that animals can have a long IMDb pages.
There can also be a lot of animals playing one particular character. However, when it came to the Bear on Game of Thrones, there was only one animal actor needed.
The Bear shows up in season 3. Brienne is thrown into a pit and forced to fight against the creature. The men find it hilarious that she, as a woman, wants to be a knight. They even force her to wear a dress for the fight. And they give her a wooden sword to use.
Brienne is in a lot of trouble, especially after the Bear leaves her with a deep gash in her collarbone. It’s only because of Jaime Lannister that she survives the ordeal. This was another step on Jaime’s path to redemption.
There are other bears that show up on the series, but they’re played by other bear actors. This one stands out because George R.R. Martin announced the casting on his blog, and many people already knew Bart the Bear for previous roles. You can also see him in Dr. Dolittle, the Homeward Bound movies, and more.
1. Mark Gatiss
Number of episodes: 4
Character name: Tycho Nestoris
You know Mark Gatiss for so many roles, so how could you possibly forget that he appeared in Game of Thrones? His appearances are scattered across three seasons, mostly when we spend time in Braavos. After all, he’s only needed when we get to the Iron Bank.
Tycho Nestoris is one of the bankers at the Iron Bank. He interacts with a number of characters, starting with Stannis Baratheon and Ser Davos in season 4. Like any banker, he looks for any reason not to lend money to people.
The Iron Bank part of the story was a little undercooked, so it’s not surprising if you forgot about the character, even when Gatiss has appeared in so many memorable roles. One of the biggest is as Mycroft Holmes on Sherlock Holmes, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character. Gatiss and Cumberbatch are excellent onscreen together, so check it out if you haven’t already.
He’s also played roles on Gunpowder, Doctor Who, Christopher Robin, and much more. You’ll soon be able to see him on Mission: Impossible 7, which is still in production.
