Previously we met Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow. Next up is series favourite Emilia Clarke. After only a handful of minor television roles, Emilia found herself playing a lead role in one of HBO’s most expensive productions to date. It would later earn her an EWwy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. As Daenerys Targaryen, Emilia plays only one of two surviving children of the Mad King Aerys II. Daenerys was born in exile after Robert’s Rebellion overthrew her father. Raised in the Free Cities across the Narrow Sea by her cruel brother Viserys (Harry Lloyd), Daenerys is a timid girl who is sold to wife by her brother King to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) in exchange for an army.
