Being honest I don't think many of the actors (there are lots) are fantastic actors.
Aiden Gillen is good, Stephan dillane is good in whatever he does, lena headey is ok. I love the character and kit Harrington is getting better but he is clunky, I think watching Alfie allen is like watching a sixth form drama student. He does smug and smarmy well but his portrayal of theon on a downer is awful. Whoever plays varys is great, Peter dinklage is brilliant. But Roose Bolton is awkward so is sophie turner and Ian glenn is lurchy too. I'm being well harsh because the show is fantastic and the dialogue must be tough but if the budget was lower I think it would be getting caned

If you had said what characters these actors play I would have been able to comment. I'm not going to look up to see who plays who so can't comment one way or the other on their acting prowess or not.

In order:
AG = Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) SD = Stannis Baratheon LH = Cersei Lannister KH = Jon Snow AA = Theon Greyjoy (Reek) ---Varys (the Spider) PD = Tyrion Lannister ---Roose Bolton ST = Sansa Stark IG = (Ser) Jorah Mormont
And @SantaClaus mentioned Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen.

Not sure I agree with all that. Aidan Gillen's evolving irishness has got right on my tits this series. If he was that good an actor he could have maintained the accent he started with. I like the bloke who plays Roose Bolton - he does a good psycho-sadist, but I do agree that Reek is weak, also Sansa. Agreed on Dinklage being good too, although to start with I thought he was shocking - again because of the terrible accent - but he has enough charisma to carry the viewer past that, to the point where nobody (myself included) really notices his accent any more! I don't really think the acting is that bad. It has dodgy moments, but that's always going to happen with such a large cast. Overall I think it's pretty good.
Yeah Littlefinger really tries to overact with his accent wouldn't say he was one of the best in the show at all, had most of his memorable scenes in season 1 with Varys. Ramsey is probably one of the best actors at the moment I think he does a great job. With the ridiculous amount of characters on the show compared to most series obviously they aren't going all be amazing. They've lost the likes of Sean Bean, Charles Dance over the last couple of years too. Even Joffrey was pretty great.
Emilia Clarke is playing a character who is learning everything as she goes. And she's stopped getting her tits out which is frustrating but being a purist it is also untrue to the books
I think Arya/Maisie Williams has absolutely nailed her part and the hound is brilliant (character and actor) honourable nod to Liam Cunningham for ser Davos and Iwan Rheon for Ramsay they are very good.
I thought the fella who played Joffrey was a fantastic actor. Was perfect for the role. Shame that he has actually retired from acting at a very young age.

Robert Baratheon as social secretary.
Ned Stark no nonsense centrehalf.
Tommen and Ser Pounce as mascots.
