25 actors you forgot were on Game of Thrones

24. Tom Hopper

Number of episodes: 4

Character name: Dickon Tarly

This is another one of those cases where you probably remember the character, but not the actor, even though you may be watching him on Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, where he plays Luther/Number One. Where do you recognize him from? Game of Thrones.

In all fairness, Hopper has been in many shows and movies, and not just guest roles on Doctor Who and Casualty. He played Sir Percival on Merlin and Billy Bones on Black Sails. He’s also in the upcoming movie SAS: Red Notice, which will also star Outlander’s Sam Heughan and Batwoman’s Ruby Rose.

But let’s get back to his role on Game of Thrones. Dickon Tarly is mostly known for his name; you may remember Bronn laughing about the name. Most fans chuckled, right? Yes, we are all 12 years old at times!

Dickon Tarly was Samwell Tarly’s brother, the son that their father wanted. He was there by his father’s side when Dany’s forces slaughtered the Lannisters, and was executed with dragonfire after the battle.
