I have been re-watching Ripper Street from series 1 again and have spotted 13 actors that are now in Game of Thrones nothing like keeping it in the family lol.

1.Jerome Flynn - Bennet Drake/Bronn
2. Clive Russell - Chief Insp Fred Aberline/Blackfish
3. Joseph Mawle - Det. Insp Jedediah Shine/Benjen Stark
4. Ian McElhinney - Theodore Swift/Barristan Selmy
5. Michael McElhatton - Commissioner James Monro/Roose Bolton
6. Iain Glen - Madoc Faulkner/Jorah Mormont
7. Anton Lesser - Dr. Karl Crabbe/Qyburn
8. Dean Charles Chapman - Harry Ward/Tommen Baratheon
9. Francis Magee - Davies (Train Robber)/Yoren
10. Paul Kaye - Gabriel Cain/Thoros of Myr
11. Owen Teale - Felix Hackman/Alliser Thorne

Hadn't realzed that Yoren and that train robber were the same person. *facepalm*

I would love to see Tobias Menzies on Ripper Street. He's rather good at being shifty.

After all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done.

Aidan Gillen who plays Littlefinger would be brilliant in Ripper Street as an Irish dissident. His acting range is crazy, like his psychotic character in Blitz.

Ripper Street shoots in Ireland close to the Game of Thrones set, which is why there are so many GoT actors on the show... it's fun to see them in other roles..

Love Ripper Street so very much!!! The best show in the last decade!

Yes and seeing Barristan Selmy being so evil kind of unsettled me. He was quite the contrary in GoT and seeing how convincingly horrible he was in RS is downright mad.

Pffft.
