Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) had been friends for years prior to the show, having worked together on Ultra (2006) and Pete Smalls Is Dead (2010). It was on the set of the latter that Dinklage first read the pilot and he subsequently recommended Headey to David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
