25 actors you forgot were on Game of Thrones

22. Richard E. Grant

Number of episodes: 3

Character name: Izembaro

Prolific actor Richard E. Grant has a very familiar face, but you may have forgotten that it turned up on the sixth season of Game of Thrones, where he played the leader of a theatrical troop in Bravos named Izembara. He and his actors are putting on a (highly inaccurate) play about the events in Westeros over the last several seasons, with Izembaro playing both King Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister.

The theater troupe gets mixed up with Arya’s adventures in Braavos and loses two members, but we don’t get to see what happens to Izembaro specifically. Presumably, he’s still touring the Free Cities and plying his trade.

You’ll know Grant best for his many other roles in movies and TV. He’s been on Doctor Who, Jekyll and Hyde, and Dispatches from Elsewhere. He also played General Pryde in Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker.

You’ll be able to see Grant in the upcoming Loki series on Disney+.
