Nikolaj Coster-Waldu Gracefully Handled His Character's Transformation



HBO

First appearing in the series premiere, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays Jamie Lannister, easily one of the most controversial characters on the show. Audiences started off the series disgusted by Jamie for his intimate relationship with his twin sister and for pushing Bran out of a tower hoping he will die.


However, he has proven to have arguably one of the greatest character arks on the show and grew to become a fan-favorite. For his work as the one-handed knight, Coster-Waldau makes $500,000 and possibly more in the final episodes.
