Nikolaj Coster-Waldau — Jaime Lannister — Nikolaj Coster-Waldau — Jaime Lannister

Coster-Waldau portrayed Jaime, a knight whose public reputation and private choices evolve across the series. His later work includes Shot Caller, Against the Ice, The Last Thing He Told Me, and international productions through his own company.

The transition shows a performer using franchise visibility to pursue survival drama, thriller, and character-led television rather than repeating one fantasy archetype.
