Thrones Cast Season 4 Cast - Game Of

Here’s a look at the key players of Season 4, where their arcs stood, and why this season remains the cast’s most memorable ensemble performance.

A haunting performance of a broken man under the thumb of the sadistic Ramsay Bolton (played by Iwan Rheon).

Season 4 gave Jon his first command arc at Castle Black. Harington grew into the role, shedding boyishness for grim leadership. The Battle of Castle Black (Episode 9) was his physical and emotional peak: fighting side-by-side with Sam, losing Ygritte in his arms (“You know nothing, Jon Snow”), and staring down Mance Rayder. Harington proved he could carry action and tragedy equally.
