Besides all being awesome, I had no idea that General Veers from Empire:

Walter Donovan from Indy and the Last Crusade:

And Grand Maester Pycelle from GoT are all the same actor:

He was also a Bond villain. I don't remember which movie it was, though, so it must not have been one of the good ones. :P

Wow, I never would have made the connection. Very cool.

I'm starting to see a lot of the GoT actors show up in a lot of other shows and films too.

The actress who played Caitlyn Stark came to a bad end in "24" too.

Spoiler, Thorsteinn- I planned on watching that episode tonight before the official one.  No worries though...I figured she would have to.

Great catch on that, Sir Ian- I never made the connection and I'm usually the one who does, having a thing for faces and all that.  Pycelle...never even recognized him (didn't in Jones either...).

Julian Glover played villain Aristotle Kristatos in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981). 

According to the IMDb movie database he has 167 acting credits stretching from 1959 to 2014!

Good connection! I didn't know General Veers was in all those films.
