Thomas Brodie-Sangster's career began all the way back in 2001 was just 11, with several TV roles quickly filling up his resume. But it was his delightful turn in a little movie called Love Actually that really put the youngster on the map. The diminutive Brit played the stepson of Liam Neeson's grieving father who, as you probably recall, becomes a drummer to impress the most popular girl in school before chasing her through the airport in a sweet, childlike spin on a classic rom-com trope.

In the years since, Brodie-Sangster has diversified in a big way, playing Sir Paul McCartney in Nowhere Boy, as well as appearing in the The Maze Runner series and, of course, as Jojen Reed in Game of Thrones. In a 2015 interview with Evening Standard, he admitted his soft features were often an impediment, explaining, "I wanted to play the evil kid who looks at you and blood spurts out. I was always the cute kid."
