She’s starred in Gulliver’s travels, The Crown, Game of Thrones and many more. She is definitely worth noting as an incredible Scarborough talent.įinally, the last Game of Throne’s actresses that we’ll give a mention – the incredible Gemma Whelan. One of this country’s most recognisable actresses, having starred a variety of films from Pride and Prejudice, to Shaun of the Dead and TV series ranging from Doctor Who to Downton Abbey.

Was Game of Thrones set in Yorkshire? It might has well have been, as Lena is another incredible actress who grew up in our wonderful county.

Mark Addy’s filmography proves he is definitely a man capable of any role. His filmography is rather large, so we are hoping at least one of his other characters manage to survive! Sean’s characters don’t seem to have much luck at survival though, with both Boromir in Lord of the Rings and Ned Stark in Game of Thrones coming to nasty ends. We can’t not mention good ol’ Sean Bean now can we?

The very first female Doctor Who is from Yorkshire origins. Plus, interesting fact- he has had several guest appearances on The Simpsons. Who would have thought? Although he may be best known for starring in Star Trek and X-Men, Sir Stewart, like the great Dame Dench, also trod the boards with the Royal Shakespeare Company. This sci-fi legend originally hails from Mirfield in West Yorkshire. It would be a shocker if you didn’t know who this marvellous actress is, but if not, she has appeared in several Shakespeare plays, multiple James Bond films and starred as Queen Victoria in the recent film ‘Victoria and Abdul’. My, oh my! The great Dame Judi Dench is from the equally as prestigious city of York.
