Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 953483, member: 833"] I have wondered about how long they could hold on to the main actors in the show as they become stars. A lot of the character actors like Charles Dance (Tywin), Stephan Dillane (Stannis) and Liam Cunningham (Davos) are not going anywhere. But a few of the actors have lead potential. Emelia Clarke is short, but she is slated to be Sarah Conner in the next round of Terminators. If those gross $300MM+ as they probably will, she could become an A lister and be hard to hold onto. Nicolaj Coster Waldau (Jaime) is close too. He was pretty good in Oblivion and could start getting major movie roles too. Lena Headey will probably stick around because she has managed to get typecast as a swords and sandles queen character. Steady work, but not the kind that will ever make her an A lister. Sophie Turner (Sansa) has the look and the talent to take Amanda Seyfried's bubblegum tween romance roles now that Seyfried is too old for them. I read somewhere that Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) is going to retire. I think he is incredibly talented. He is too short to be a huge star, but he could make $5MM+ a year playing movie villains for the rest of his life. Malcolm McDowell did it. Kit Harrington's (Jon Snow) Pompeii made me think of this post. Pompeii, which got terrible reviews, still grossed $85MM and counting, which is good enough to get him another crack at leading role in a studio film. Other top shows have faced this, but GoT has a problem in that the actors can actually act. The Sopranos avoided this because outside of the two leads, the cast was either character actors or simply not that talented (see Robert Iler). What other roles are the guys who played Bobby Baccala or Vito Spatafore going to get? Outside of Jeremy Piven, Kevin Dillon and the guest stars, the cast of Entourage can't even act. I have been surprised that Shameless has been able to hold onto Emmy Rossum for this long. It is interesting that Mad Men has held onto Jon Hamm so long, because he is a solid B list movie actor now. Friends seemed to stick together out of loyalty to each other, because Jennifer Aniston was already one of the biggest stars on the planet by the last few seasons of that show. [/QUOTE]
