Of all the characters on this list, The Night King is one of the best known, and the actor playing him is probably also one of the best known. However, in season six, when we finally see the man/actor who would later become The Night King, it wasn’t who we thought it was. It wasn’t Richard Brake. The actor shown was Vladimír Furdík, but the actor under all that Night King makeup was Brake. It turns out, Brake was replaced for some unknown reason. We will use Brake for this example because he’s the man under the makeup for all the other scenes. If you recognize Brake, it’s because he’s been in plenty of huge films before his…errr…break on Game of Thrones. He played Joe Chill in Batman Begins, was in Kingsman, Spy, Hannibal Rising, Thor, Halloween II, and more. He’s one of those actors who you’re sure you know; you just might not know his name or from where you know him.
