3. Aidan Gillen

Petyr ‘Littlefinger’ Baelish has a trick or two up his sleeve in Game of Thrones…

Actor Aidan Gillen plays Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones, a man well-known in Westeros as a spymaster, schemer and astute politician… There is no doubt that Baelish is one of the series most colourful characters, and has featured in all of Game of Thrones’ seasons thus far. And not only has Aidan Gillen’s role in Game of Thrones enlivened the series since its inception, but the Irish actor also played a major role in Microsoft’s Xbox One exclusive video game Quantum Break.

Gillen plays the villain Paul Serene in the game, who’s the head of the evil Monarch Corporation and also stars in the game’s live action TV show. He’s also a playable character in Quantum Break, with player’s choices affecting how events play out in the game’s live action segments, which no doubt was one of the top features of Microsoft’s video game.
