Hard to see anyone else as Arya than Maisie Williams who was outstanding, especially in the earlier seasons. The character became a bit cartoonish later on.

Margaret looked cute in season one but the older she got the more comical her face became. A comical look is not what you want on the face of a deadly assassin.

As far as her acting went she actually had some talent unlike Sophie Turner but unlike Sophie Margaret didn't improve as she went along which was disappointing. And needless to say neither of them could hold a candle to Isabelle in the acting stakes.

I can't speak for "Game of thrones" because Ive never seen it. I knew Isabelle though from "Orphan" and thought - wow - shes terrific! The role I thought she was tailor made for was Carrie White. There was a remake done of "Carrie" that was released in 2013 I believe. Julianne Moore played the whacky Mother. When I heard this movie was being put together I thought - "Isabelle would be perfect for Carrie". I don't know if she was even considered. The role ended up going to Chloe Grace Moretz and the movie was a failure. Who knows what Isabelle could have done with it??

I could picture her as Arya, yeah.

At least, she'll always be Esther from Orphan to us. She was born to play that role.

Plus, she's an American.
