7Wilko Johnson

Iconic English singer, and Dr. Feelgood band member Wilko Johnson had one of the most exciting GOT cameos, which was also his acting debut. He played Ser Ilyn Payne, in an episode of Season 1 and returned for a cameo in Season 2.

“It’s the first time I’ve done any acting, but all I had to do was stare at people. Payne had had his tongue cut out, so I just had to glare at people with menace and swing a sword every now and again,” he said about his role.

“I’d certainly like to go back to Game of Thrones. It was so much fun, and my character is alive, so it’s certainly possible,” Johnson told NME.
