Bran Stark, played by Isaac Hempstead Wright
Where Are They Now?: Hempstead Wright isn't doing much acting outside of playing Bran on Game of Thrones, but that might be because he has been trying to juggle a college education with his acting career.

The Hound, played by Rory McCann
Where Are They Now?: Scottish actor Rory McCann hasn't been doing a lot outside of Game of Thrones, but we think that's by choice. He's apparently fond of living a transient life on the fringes.
