Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and cameo game of thrones.
Kit Harington (Jon Snow) - How to Build a Girl
Our beloved Jon Snow, or rather Kit Harington, made a surprise appearance in the 2019 film How to Build a Girl. In this British comedy-drama, Kit plays a small but memorable role as a rock star named Johnston. While his character doesn't have many lines, Kit's presence adds a fun twist to the story.
How to Build a Girl is based on Caitlin Moran's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name. It follows the story of a young girl named Johanna Morrigan, played by Beanie Feldstein, who reinvents herself as a rock star named Dolly Wilde. Kit's character, Johnston, is part of Dolly's wild and crazy rock 'n' roll world.
Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) - Elvis & Nixon*
In the 2016 biographical comedy Elvis & Nixon, our favorite Lannister, Peter Dinklage, appears as a Secret Service agent. The movie is based on the true story of the famous 1970 meeting between Elvis Presley and President Richard Nixon. Peter's character, Agent Evans, is part of the Secret Service detail assigned to protect the President.
Elvis & Nixon is a fun and humorous take on this historic event. The film stars Michael Shannon as Elvis and Kevin Spacey as Nixon. Peter's role might be small, but his presence adds a touch of class to the film.
Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) - The Sarah Silverman Program*
Before she was the ruthless Queen Cersei, Lena Headey played a very different role in the comedy series The Sarah Silverman Program. In the show's third season, Lena appears as a character named Sarah's Sister. Yes, you read that right. Lena plays a fictionalized version of Sarah Silverman herself in a hilarious episode where Sarah goes to therapy to deal with her "imaginary sister."
The Sarah Silverman Program is a comedic gem that aired from 2007 to 2010. It's a great show to check out if you're a fan of Lena's humor and want to see her in a completely different light.
Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) - iBoy*
Maisie Williams, our favorite Stark daughter, made her film debut in the 2017 cyberpunk thriller iBoy. In this movie, Maisie plays a character named Lucy, a young woman who becomes involved in a dangerous world of hacking and virtual reality. While her role is more substantial than some of the other cameos on this list, it's still a departure from her Game of Thrones character.
iBoy is a unique and gripping film that explores the dark side of technology. It's a great watch if you're a fan of cyberpunk and want to see Maisie in a non-GoT role.
Bonus: The Game of Thrones Cast - The Last Watch*
While not exactly a cameo, we couldn't leave out the 2019 documentary The Last Watch. This behind-the-scenes look at the final season of Game of Thrones features interviews with the entire main cast, as well as never-before-seen footage from the set. It's a must-watch for any Game of Thrones fan who wants to see their favorite stars in a whole new light.
