Some of them look more rugged now others have grown facial hair or changed their style. It’s been almost a decade since Game of Thrones first premiered, so naturally, the characters and actors of the show will look noticeably different. The first season’s characters were innocent and naive, but since the show has gone on, these characters-like the actors who play them-have evolved in the strong, badass people we see on screen today. We had never heard the names Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington or Sophie Turner before-let alone know what they looked like. But with how much time has passed between season 1 and season 8 (almost eight years, to be exact), we can’t help but wonder: What does the Game of Thrones cast look like, then and now? When the series first premiered in April 2011, many of its actors were relative unknowns. After eight seasons of dragons and sword fights, the final season of Game of Thrones is finally here. We’d love to hear your take on them! Who’s your favorite? Leave us a comment below.It’s the final countdown, Game of Thrones fans.

We know there are a ton of cast members missing from this list as the number of characters is so large with Game of Thrones.

Here at HBO Watch our team of writers has taken on the task of featuring each of these incredible characters in a stand-alone article about some of our favorite personalities. Fans are commonly in love with many of the major characters such as Jon and Dany but even the minor characters have a role as well! The world of Westeros (and Essos!) is filled with amazing personalities and the actors that round out this amazing cast bring them to life in a way we would have never thought possible. Part of the allure of George R.R Martin’s fantasy realm is the sheer number of memorable characters.
