I don't recognize you in makeup: the actors of "Game of Thrones" when winter was not close

Even the most powerful kings, queens and khals of the series "Game of Thrones" started with something. The feeling that you have already seen them somewhere is justified in most cases. Before the actors were involved in the battle of the five kingdoms, they had other, albeit not so bright, roles.

Natalie Dormer in the series plays the role of the cunning and seductive Margaery Tyrell.

It's not the first time she's played a person of blue blood. Dormer began with the role of the intelligent and brilliant wife of the English King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn in the TV series "The Tudors".

Dame Diana Rigg perfectly copes with the role of calculating and wise Olenna, the matriarch of the Tyrell family.

She charmed viewers back in the 1960s, playing the role of Emma Peel in the spy series "The Avengers" (1961-1969).

In the role of Tywen Lannister, Charles Dance rules King's Landing without the Iron Throne.

Dance played a much softer character in the miniseries "Rebecca" alongside Diana Rigg.

Lena Headey perfectly plays the evil schemer Cersei Lannister.

The actress proved that she can play, using the example of a more charming character — the Spartan queen Gorgo in the movie "300 Spartans".

Mark Eddy plays the role of the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms Robert Baratheon at the very beginning of the series.

He played a cheerful servant in the 2001 film The Knight's Story.

In the first four seasons, Jack Gleeson played one of the nastiest characters in Game of Thrones — King Joffrey Baratheon.

But the actor made his debut in the cameo role of an innocent boy in the movie "Batman: The Beginning".

Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon) has become a threat to the throne since joining His Sparrowdom.

Simon started with Vanessa Hudgens in the Nickelodeon channel series "The Abode of Anubis".

Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) is a professional schemer and political strategist in the world of Game of Thrones.

Somewhere in another life, he played a lawyer in the crime drama "Wiretap".

Natalia Tena in the first season played Osha, a wildling woman who was hired to protect the youngest of the Starks.

A few years before that, she played Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter films.

Maester Pycelle is known for his cautious, often useless advice, which he gives to the ruler of King's Landing as a member of the small council.

Actor Julian Glover played a small role in the movie "Star Wars: Episode 5 – The Empire Strikes Back."

Being under two meters tall, Rory McCann plays a terrifying Dog.

A few years before that, he starred in the comedy "Like cool cops" in the role of an equally terrifying, impressive, but hilariously funny supermarket cashier.

Arya (Maisie Williams) has come a long and grueling way, and it's not over for her yet.

On Instagram, she posted a photo of herself in early childhood.

Jason Momoa ruled the khalasar of fearless nomad warriors as Khal Drogo.

In his youth, he could be seen in the TV series "Rescuers of Malibu".

Today, Emilia Clarke is known to most as the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen.

She starred in the TV movie "Attack from the Triassic period". And in ordinary life she is a brunette.

Ian Glen plays the infamous Sir Jorah Mormont, who does everything for his secret love, Daenerys.

He once starred with Angelina Jolie in the movie "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider".

Natalie Emmanuel plays Missandei, a beautiful and intelligent girl who knows many languages, one of the few whom Daenerys truly believes.

The English actress previously starred in the drama "Hollyoaks".

The role of Sansa Stark was the first serious role for actress Sophie Turner, but she plays it brilliantly.

Gwendoline Christie plays the role of Lady Brienne of Tarth, a female knight who has vowed to protect the surviving Stark children.

She played a much more sophisticated character in a cameo role in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Stephen Dillane plays the king in exile Stanis Baratheon, who gradually conquers kingdom after kingdom.

Previously, he played the role of Leonard, the wife of Virginia Woolf, in the movie "The Clock", which also starred Nicole Kidman.

Liam Cunningham plays the devoted army commander Stanis Baratheon.

Many years ago, he played the loyal knight of King Arthur played by Sean Connery in the movie "The First Knight".
