The "Game of Thrones" cast is now one of the most recognizable in the world. 

While some of the stars owe their careers thanks to the hit HBO show, others joined the cast as established actors. 

After Redditor davyloper put together a great throwback gallery, INSIDER was inspired to look back at the cast's earlier acting roles.

Here's what the cast looked like in their earlier roles. 

You might not recognize Mark Addy, who played Robert Baratheon, in one of his earlier roles as Fred Flintstone in "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas."

Charles Dance may be known for his villainous role as Tywin Lannister, but the actor's first film role was as the villain in the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only."

United Artists and HBO

Lena Headey made her film debut in 1992's "Waterland" before she was ever Cersei on "Game of Thrones."
