Remember when the Harry Potter franchise seemed to employ every single living British, Irish, and Scottish actor? The same went for Game of Thrones, the ensemble of which seemed to expand episode by episode as we met more Starks, Boltons, Lannisters, Greyjoys, Tyrells, soldiers, mercenaries, and just random extras.

All of which is to say — we’re going to recognize actors from Game of Thrones in other media for years to come, especially in British productions, and so it goes that every episode of Chernobyl inspired in me the reaction, “Hey! It’s that guy!” And so, without further ado, all the actors who made me say, “Isn’t that the guy from Game of Thrones?”
