3. Kevin Eldon

Number of episodes: 4

Character name: Camello/Gold Cloak #2

Kevin Eldon got the chance to play two roles on Game of Thrones, and you’ve completely forgotten about both of them. Well, you’ve definitely forgotten about the second one, at least.

During season 6, Eldon played Camello in three episodes. Arya Stark came across the character as she was training in Braavos. He was another member of the theater company, and took on the role of Ned Stark in the production. Naturally, Arya hated him for his portrayal of her father. He plays Ned as crude and dim-witted, which Ned definitely wasn’t.

He then appeared in one episode in season 7 as a Gold Cloak. It was a small role, and it ended bloody. He was one of the Gold Cloaks who came across Ser Davos and Gendry while they were sneaking into King’s Landing. Davos managed to pay off the Gold Cloaks at first, only for them to grow suspicious when Tyrion Lannister turned up. Gendry had no choice but to kill all the Gold Cloaks, including Eldon’s character.

Eldon is well known for his comedic roles, including Sergeant Tony Fisher in Hot Fuzz and Jack in Truth Seekers. He’s also played a number of serious and period roles, appearing in Sandition and The Last Kingdom. You’ll be able to see him in an episode of Shadow and Bone on Netflix in April.
