Now that season 7 of GoT has come to a dramatic end, and we thought it was time to revisit the Game of Thrones cast in their days before they became a part of HBO's most popular series.
It's hard to believe when you watch the show that the popular actors weren't always the conniving, cynical, dour and battle-hardened Game of Thrones characters from Westeros and Essos, but as you can see from these eye-opening pictures, some of your favorite characters were virtually unrecognizable as young actors. From Ser Davos Seaworth and Tyrion Lannister to Thoros of Myr and The Hound, Sandor Clegane, the list of Then and Now should help to satisfy your Game of Thrones cravings while you - and the rest of the world - wait for season 8 to arrive. How many actors when they were young did you recognize? Let us know in the comments below.
