Aidan Gillen Was Paid To Be Hated

HBO

Aidan Gillen played the mischievous Petyr Baelish, better known as Littlefinger. At first, he appears as an impressive political force, but after some time, it becomes clear that his intentions are far more sinister. He spends the majority of his time pitting characters against each other, starting wars, and killing anyone who gets in his way.

In turn, many fans cheered when he was finally executed by Arya in season seven. For his unbelievably convincing performance, Gillen made between $100,000 and $200,000 for each episode.
