25 actors you forgot were on Game of Thrones

4. Essie Davis

Number of episodes: 3

Character name: Lady Crane

During Game of Thrones season 6, Arya Stark came across a theatre company while in Braavos. That company was putting on a play about Ned Stark’s death, although it was highly inaccurate. Sounds like a lot of historical fiction!

Davis was one of the members of the theatrical company. She played Lady Crane, the actress who played Cersei Lannister in the play.

Arya is given the task of killing Davis during her training to become No One. In the end, Arya couldn’t quite go through with killing Crane. She’d become fond of the woman. When The Waif attacked Arya, Crane helped nurse her back to health. However, that would lead to Crane’s downfall.

It was a relatively small role, but it was also an important one for Arya. After all, it was after this that Arya decided to no longer take part in the Faceless Man training and return to Westeros.

You’ll know Davis for many other roles, especially in Australian productions. She is Phyrne Fisher in Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and she played Amelia Vanek in The Babadook. She also landed the role of Dowager Queen Elizabeth on The White Princess after her role on Game of Thrones.
