I think Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) does the best acting job. A combination of clueless, gullible and pure evil. His range takes him anywhere from annoying to plain scary.

The imp is a close second for me.

Charles Dance and Peter Dinklage have been amazing anytime they are on screen. The guy playing Varys is pretty damn good as well.

My favorite is Dinklage and has been rightly rewarded so but as of late, Dance and Dormer have really put their characters across very well.

I don't know if he's the best, but he does a good job. When he is on the screen I want to shoot my television.

I think Joffrey is the closest to the book. He is so easy to hate in the book and in the show and the kid playing the role nails it on every aspect. Cersei is also really close to the book.

As for the best acting job, that is really tough considering how close most are to the book. I would give the nod to Varys or Tyrian. Both have shown great range and have represented the book as well as they could.

If I have to pick one its Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister. But the whole cast is great.

HBO always nails their casting. And with a few exceptions, its no names.

I agree with Tyrian, Arya, and Tywin.

I also think Nikolaj Coster-Waldau deserves some respect for his portrayal of Jaimie.

Would say Baelish. But I just can't get a perverted Carcetti with a stache out my head when I see him on screen

I'll say Tywin and the Cersei. Also like Jorrah's actor too.

Joffrey was the first actor to pop into my mind. Glad others have similar thoughts on the matter.

Tywin, Joffrey, Tyrion, Varys, and Lady Olenna are all very well acted

For me, it's Tywin. I get nervous everytime he is on screen. Intimidated even.

Tyrion is a close second.

Joff and Arya are tied. I'm impressed with how much I hate a TV character.

The guy that plays Jamie must be good. When I see him in interviews, I don't see Jamie at all.

shite, they are all great.
