You can stream it now on Disney Plus.

You can stream it on Amazon Prime.

Leslie (who is married to her "Game of Thrones" costar Kit Harington), joined the cable TV world with CBS' "The Good Wife" spinoff, a legal drama called "The Good Fight." If you love shows with lots of spectacle and timely social commentary, "The Good Fight" makes for a great binge.

You can stream it on CBS All Access.

Dickie plays one of the First Order soldiers who patches Poe through to General Hux in the opening scene of this "Star Wars" movie. It's a great little role in the best film from the new "Star Wars" trilogy era.

You can stream it on Disney Plus.

Kit Harington went outside his typical drama-fueled role for a comedic turn in "Seven Days in Hell" (which costars Andy Samberg). If you want a 42-minute break in your life of rather silly-but-great entertainment, watch this underrated HBO mockumentary.

You can stream it now on HBO Max.

Harington voices Eret in the second and third "How to Train Your Dragon" movies, which make up one of the greatest animated trilogy series of all time.

Though it's hard to choose a favorite among Peter Jackson's trilogy, you can't go wrong with the first installment: "The Fellowship of the Ring."

Sean Bean — who of course had a pivotal role in the first season of "Game of Thrones" as Ned Stark — is a great part of the initial ensemble that made up the eponymous Fellowship.

You can stream it on HBO Max.

Disney's over-the-top historical heist movie "National Treasure" features Sean Bean as the antagonist chasing after the Declaration of Independence.

You can stream it on Disney Plus.

You can stream it on Disney Plus.

In one of the earlier Marvel movies, Bradley appears as the Tower Keeper (a protector of the Tesseract). This first "Captain America" movie is a great one to rewatch if you love all-things Steve Rogers.

Natalie Dormer (who played Margaery Tyrell in "Game of Thrones") also has a small role in this film.

You can stream it on Amazon Prime.

"Game of Thrones" diehards know Jacob Anderson best as Grey Worm, the leader of the Unsullied. In "Broadchurch," a detective drama, Anderson plays the boyfriend of a young woman whose brother is murdered.

Bonus fact: Anderson also has a flourishing music career. You can find his songs and albums under the alias Raleigh Ritchie.

You can stream "Broadchurch" on Netflix.

Murray, who played Gilly the wildling in "Game of Thrones," costarred in the British show "Skins" before joining the HBO series a few years later.

You can stream it on Netflix.

You can stream it on HBO Max.

Donachie played Ser Rodrik Cassel in "Game of Thrones" for its first two seasons. In "Titanic," he played the Master at Arms onboard the ship.

Bonus fun fact: Ron Donachie is the father of Daniel Portman — the actor who played Podrick Payne in "Game of Thrones."

"Chernobyl" is one of the greatest TV shows ever made, according to fan ratings on Metacritic. Its powerhouse cast included the great Donald Sumpter, who was memorable as the endearing maester of House Stark in "Game of Thrones."

You can stream it on HBO Max.

Sumpter plays Detective Morrell in the American movie adaptation of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," an eerie and phenomenally told murder mystery story.

Chapman (who actually played two different roles in "Game of Thrones") stars as one of the two main soldiers in the World War I drama "1917."

Another "Game of Thrones" actor, Richard Madden, also has a small role in "1917."

Madden plays Elton John's manager (and romantic partner) John Reid in the underrated drama-musical "Rocketman." And yes, Madden sings in the movie. It's delightful.

Momoa first joined the DC universe with the "Justice League" movie, but "Aquaman" is the best place to start if you're looking to truly enjoy Momoa in all his superhero physique.

You can stream it on HBO Max.

Gillen, who played Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish in "Game of Thrones," plays a skilled archer named Bill in the 2017 "King Arthur" movie. If over-the-top fantasy and action is your thing, this movie is great for some hyped-up action scenes and a great ensemble cast.

Gillen isn't the only "Game of Thrones" actor in the movie, either. Michael McElhatton (who played Roose Bolton) also has a part in the film.

"Sing Street" premiered in 2016 at the Sundance Film Festival. It's a darling coming-of-age story about a teenager living in 1980s Ireland who starts a band. The movie features fantastic original music and Gillen in the role of the struggling father.

In "Jojo Rabbit," Allen plays Finkel, a soldier who acts as an assistant (and implied boyfriend) to Sam Rockwell's character Captain Klenzendorf.

Allen also appeared in the first "John Wick" movie, which brings us to the next actor on our list.

McShane appeared in one episode of "Game of Thrones" as the pious Brother Ray. In the "John Wick" movies, he plays the Continental Hotel's manager Winston.

You can stream the third "John Wick" movie on HBO Max.

Pascal's face is barely seen in the live-action "Star Wars" show, but his voice was used for all of the episodes. Body doubles (Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder) played the Mandalorian for many of the episodes where his face was covered by the iconic helmet.

If you want to indulge in some solid detective TV with stylistic flair and extra-long episodes, BBC's "Sherlock" series is never a bad choice. Gatiss pops up now and again opposite Benedict Cumberbatch as the other Holmes brother, Mycroft.

You can stream it on Netflix.

"Game of Thrones" fans will know McElhinney best as Ser Barristan Selmy, one of Daenerys' chief advisors. In "Derry Girls," he plays the main character's ornery grandfather.

You can stream it on Netflix.

Chaplin appeared in the season two episode, "White Christmas," along with another former "Game of Thrones" actor: Natalia Tena (Osha).

Tobias Menzies (Edmure Tully), Donald Sumpter (Maester Luwin), Jerome Flynn (Ser Bronn), and Faye Marsay (The Waif) also appear throughout various episodes of "Black Mirror."

Dinklage, who won multiple Emmys for his performance as Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones, appears in "Elf" as the revered children's book author Miles Finch.

You can stream it on Netflix.

"Last Christmas" was divisive (thanks to its completely wild premise inspired by George Michael's discography), but surprisingly emotional. Perhaps Clarke's real-life parallel to her character's terrifying brain surgery plays a role in the effectiveness of the movie, but either way it's a good pick for some tears and holiday cheer.
