When you think Sansa Stark, you can鈥檛 help but think 鈥楽UFFERING鈥. Seriously, when your childhood crush kills your father, it can only go downhill from there. So, who better to play the frustrated Stark聽than the ever-crying Nkiru Sylvanus?
2. Patience Ozokwor as Cersei Lannister
We all know that Cersei Lannister is next-level wicked and no Nollywood actor can play wickedly protective mother quite like Patience Ozokwor. So, why mess with a formula聽that works?
3. Osita Iheme as Tyrion Lannister
What Tyrion lacks in size he makes up for in serious wit, and how many Nollywood actors can claim to have played as many wickedly clever characters as Osita Iheme. It really doesn鈥檛 hurt that they are about the same height.
4. Pete Edochie as Tywin Lannister
Tywin Lannister was the wealthiest man in the seven kingdoms, and one of the wisest. The only difference we can spot between him and Pete Edochie鈥檚 typical characters is that while Tywin was just the hand to the king, Pete Edochie would actually be the聽king.
5. O.C. Ukeje as Jon Snow
Jon Snow (everyone鈥檚 favorite character) is the pretty loverboy with a lot to prove to his family, if you can鈥檛 see the charming O.C Ukeje playing this role, we don鈥檛 know for you again.
6. Emeka Ike as Joffrey Baratheon
Joffrey Baratheon was probably the most hated character in television history. He was cowardly, annoying and spoilt, three traits Emeka Ike would really have no trouble聽playing.
7. Van Vicker as Jaime Lannister
Jaime Lannister is brave, handsome and more than a little twisted (*side-eye鈥檚 incest*). 聽He isn鈥檛 meant to be as likable as he is but he pulls it off, and that is very Van Vicker.
8. Kanayo O. Kanayo as Stannis Baratheon
Last time we saw Stannis Baratheon he was sacrificing his daughter to the Lord of Light for a chance at the Iron Throne. If that doesn鈥檛 scream Kanyo O. Kanayo to you. you really should watch more Nollywood movies.
9. Nse Ikpe-Etim as Daenerys Targaryen
Daenerys Targaryen is equal parts strong and compassionate, and we can鈥檛 think of anyone more suited to the title of 鈥淢other of Dragons鈥 than the enchanting Nse Ikpe-Etim.
10. Majid Michel as Petyr Baelish
Petyr Baelish is insanely ambitious and extremely cunning, willing to do anything for power. If you鈥檝e ever watched a movie with Majid Michel, you鈥檇 know he is the perfect fit.
11. Mercy Johnson as Lysa Arryn
Lysa Arryn was the overlooked sister of Catelyn Stark and the tremendous Mercy Johson has built a formidable career on playing the ugly duckling.
12. John Okafor as Lord Varys
Lord Varys is extremely sneaky and occasionally hilarious not unlike John Okafor. It doesn鈥檛 hurt that they both have the same size potbellies.
13. Joseph Benjamin as Robb Stark
We didn鈥檛 realize how much we really liked Robb Stark until he was gone and we can鈥檛 think of a better actor to capture his quiet intensity.
14. Olu Jacobs as Ned Stark
Ned Stark鈥檚 nobility might have been his undoing in the end but that trait is聽exactly what聽Olu Jacobs brings to every character he plays.
15. Joke Sylva as Catelyn Stark
Catelyn Stark聽was聽the strong-willed wife of Ned Stark. So, it鈥檚 only right we cast the supremely-talented real life wife of Olu Jacobs.
16. Jim Iyke as Ramsay Bolton
Which other Nollywood actor can you picture torturing their prisoner into submission beside the sly looking Jim Iyke?
