Lena Headey might be the most consistent actor on Game of Thrones. It's not easy to flip a switch to completely embody Queen Cersei, one of the most vile, calculating villains on television. Even on late-night talk-show appearances, like last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Headey has no problem turning the most idiotic insults from The Bachelor into tactful and regal takedowns in full Cersei style. Stripped of the layered, political chess matches of her typical GOT dialog, Headey is able to sell any line with thoughtful pauses and a dramatic stare that drives daggers into your soul. Yes, even trashy attacks on some girl's breasts and bad breath are insults fit for a queen, so long as Heady's saying it. Remember that time she completely destroyed Kimmel with Cersei-style insults?
