Pay? Don't be insulting. To defend @Ambiturner for a change, pretty sure he's a good enough bad cop he isn't paying for the whores he's fucking.

they had entire phonebooks full of whores when i was in Vegas, the ground of "The Strip" is covered with their "business cards". you go to any casino and if you're alone or with your male friends those chicks are in your arms the second you stop somewhere for a minute. if you walk along the strip or on Boulder Hwy. the crack whores come out of literally nowhere to snuggle up with you. i have several stories about that. cops in Vegas dont do shit about it. they really dont do shit about anything. in some ways that great, but in cases like what happened at Mandalay Bay, thats an absolute travesty.

He should have sought more roles with people who were Stargate fans then!

I often wonder if he was method acting as himself when he was just a silent awkward dick like he was in Atlantis.
Not really sure if GoT boosted him much in stardom though. Most other GoT peeps been doing small/little roles or back to series as before.

Something else to consider is almost all the actors are Euros and they may be doing films not out of Hollywood. Kingslayer has done ten films (not counting Flash cameo) since Got ended.

There's that, and it isn't like Hollywood was been doing anything but jack and shit for the past long while, anyway.

As I said last month in the Netflix thread. ( sub to the cheapest package they got $6.99 then instantly you can go to the max package and it prorates the time like 10 days for the max or 2 weeks for the HD/unlimited no ads )
Hadn't had it for years so there was TONS of content I had never seen.
I watched series after series and it all felt like one big series. Same sort of dialogue, same plots, some case same damn actors. It's like Netflix follows a tree of requirements for ever series. Must have gay scene, lesbian scene, some sort of climate emergency, 1 bad Trump guy and make sure 50% of the roles are black.
I'd imagine most wouldn't notice it, but binge any 5 series about any scifi/action/horror and you'll see they are all identical, just different times and sets.

In short, Hollywood has fallen.

Yeah. The only thing that changes in Hollywood is the name of the movie or the tv show; everything else is the fucking same. Same actors or mix of actors, same plots, same everything. Capeshit movie, reboot movie, shitty sequel movie...and that's just about all there is anymore.

You can't even escape it with animated movies or shows. Same thing, same people, same shit.

And then studio execs wonder why no one tunes into network tv anymore, or why so many films are straight up bombing, or why they are all losing their asses on streaming.

What a weird time we live in. You have so many people front and center flushing away half a billion+ on single movies, or billions on franchises and still keeping their jobs. It wasn't that long ago that losing $10MM on a movie would cost you your career. Now, it is a badge of honor to piss away hundreds of millions on trash.

2021 digitalspy did a story ranking their after GoT careers
12. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime)
11. Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei)
10. Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran)
9. Gwendoline Christie (Brienne)
8. John Bradley (Sam)
7. Alfie Allen (Theon)
6. Sophie Turner (Sansa)
5. Maisie Williams (Arya)
4. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys)
3. Kit Harington (Jon)
2. Lena Headey (Cersei)
1. Peter Dinklage (Tyrion)

1. Emilia Clarke got the most work I think, a lot of it is terrible and she is terrible, but I liked the romcom where she basically played herself as she's a nice person herself. She made a LOT of money.

2. Jason Momoa is probably top for getting other genre stuff that people actually like. The Aquaman casting was perfect and it's not his fault DC sucks. Stargate Atlantis was cringe as Teal'c#2 so he definitely needed Game of Thrones.

3. Rob Stark was in a really popular award winning TV show in the UK called "The Bodyguard" but it was only a few episodes on purpose like most UK stuff. Then... The Eternals? That's bad luck.

4. Gwendoline Christie was great in Wednesday, she'll get steady work now since she's kinda unique in build.

5. I feel like I keep seeing Alfie Allen in stuff, he is very well connected (actor father, popstar sister) so will get work in the UK.

6. Everyone else.

7. Sansa. X Men and Jonas Brothers money but trapped in a weird marriage? She was shit in X Men. Career over.

8. Jamie reminds me of Sawyer from Lost, where the big personality fan favourite is too type cast to be credible in any other role. That Egyptian thing was a career ender.

9. Anyone who died since filming.

10. Arya Is just a just whore now, wtf? If she chose good roles she could have been huge.

That's my tier list.

Peter Dinklage doesn't count, he got work before and he's still kinda typecast as an angry midget man. There's a whole bunch of established actors like Lena Heady and Sean Bean that it's not worth discussing since they are just doing what they used to do.

I can not fucking wait to see him as Lobo

The Bodyguard with Rob Starke was pretty good.

I appreciated the more grounded nature of that series. If it was in the US, he'd be defusing nukes by episode three.

If we just count the actors getting parts since D&D destroyed the IP with season 8 (2019), I have only seen Alfie Allen, Jason Momoa, and Madson (Rob Stark) in one show each, which were SAS: Rogue Heroes, Dune, and 1917.

If we open it up to after they got big on GoT, around season 3 (2013), then Gwendolyn Christy gets added to the list and probably wins with the two Star Wars and one Hunger Games (not that they were very big parts).

Guess I will go look for The Bodyguard now though.

Oh fuck I forgot she was in Star Wars. The less said about that the better, hopefully her Wednesday role repairs the damage.

Gwendoline Christie is a pretty solid actress, she was stuck reading the doghsit script in S8 and being relegated to just a bootycall after 8 seasons. she was a pointless cameo in the Disney Star Wars films. did she even get to take off her helmet?

24 was an incredible show, it was pure male fantasy Action Man entertainment.

Brienne of Tarth was a lead in Wednesday, the biggest TV show of 2022 and will be a big lead in season 2 of Sandman as the character she plays (Lucifer) takes a bigger role.

Momoa was the main lead of See on Apple TV+, a show granted not many people have watched but its decently popular and now over. Momoa also was in Fast X and will be in Fast 11, along with Missandei whose been in the last few Fast movies and has a few of her own TV shows. Littlefinger and a few others have been on Mayor of Kingstown, Ser Friendzone was on Silo, a lot of other cast members on random Apple TV shows.

A few GoT cast will be in Netflix's biggest production to date, The Three Body Problem in January 2024 based on a big Chinese scifi space opera but who knows if it'll be good or shit. D&D are the showrunners of that show as well so thats gonna be... interesting

So this is all post GoT, and I wont include Jason Momoa or like Sean Bean they are in lots of shit. Momoa is fucking Aquaman, and was great in See, hell he was in DUNE!

Kit Harrington (Jon) Gave two middle fingers to everyone and went home to bang Rose Leslie. Living the dream, though is slowly getting back into acting. I hope they give him a show I liked him, not his fault the writing was shit

Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) seems to only do voice work to pay the bills or serious drama roles now. Was nominated for an Emmy for Cyrano, and was very very good in "I Care A Lot"
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie) man they keep tryin with him. He was bit part man for Ridley Scott for years and seems to be slippin back that way, just never quite worked out for him
Lena Heady (Cersei) took a break after GoT, but just was in White House Plumbers and was great in it
Emilia Clarke (Danny) sucks at acting and I do not like her. She still gets roles though, I saw her in a film festival movie called the Pod Generation and I hated it, also Secret Invasion
Sofia Turner (Sansa) had two kids after GoT ended, was in a series called The Staircase which I have been meaning to watch cause I like Toni Collette, and is getting another main role in something else coming out soon
Masie Williams (Arya) is also blah, is supposed to be Catharine Dior in a new AppleTV show coming out IDK how that will be
Liam Cunningham (Davos) was just in that Dracula film and was pretty good in it even if i didnt care for the film. Has a part in the Netflix Three Body Problem so that will be his next big thing
Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) Went right back to being in Fast and Furious films and is lead on some show on Quibi with Kevin Heart and Jon Travolta
Alfie ALlen (Theon) was great in Jojo Rabbit, and now does British shows we rarely get
John Bradley (Sam) was in Moonfall which was sadly bad, but will be in Three Body Problem as well
Issac Hempstead Wright (Bran) went back to school and studying to be neurologist
Gwendoline Christie (Brienne) Sandman, Wednesday, Severance season 2, Star Wars films. Seems to be doing quite well, fills the niche that Tilda Swinton had when she was younger though Tilda is a much better actor
