25 actors you forgot were on Game of Thrones

17. Clive Russell

Number of episodes: 7

Character name: Bryndon “the Blackfish” Tully

Clive Russell pops up everywhere. Honestly, he’s an actor that you shouldn’t have forgotten about being on Game of Thrones, but with so many characters running around, it’s possible for even him to slip through the cracks.

Russell initially appeared in the third season and then returned in the sixth, where he met his end. The Blackfish commanded the forces at Riverrun after the Red Wedding, when his nephew Edmure was taken captive. The Lannisters eventually used Edmure to turn his own men against him, spelling his doom.

Russell is another Outlander veteran, although was only in one episode of that. You’ll also remember him from Ripper Street, Casualty and Netflix’s Cursed.

Keep an eye out for British productions, especially fantasy and period dramas. He tends to show up in many of them, even if it’s just for an episode or two.
