Jude Hill (born January 1, 2010) is a Northern Irish actor. He is best known for his leading role in Kenneth Branagh's Belfast (2021), based on Branagh's childhood, for which he won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Young Actor. Hill made his feature film debut in Belfast. The film's story is told mostly through the eyes of Hill's character Buddy, described by Jeanette Catsoulis of the New York Times as "a bright, cheerful 9-year-old and a fictionalized version of Branagh himself". Hill was nine when he was chosen as the film's lead out of 300 young actors who auditioned. Hill was born in Gilford, a village in County Down, near Armagh, to Shauneen and Darryl. He has a younger sister and a younger brother. He attended St John's Primary School. From the age of four, she took drama classes at Shelley Lowry School in Portadown. Hill also played the lead role in the World War II-themed short film Rian, which premiered at CineMagic 2021. In the 2023 film "A Haunting in Venice", he worked with Branagh again.
Game of Thrones follows the power struggle for the Iron Throne of Westeros as multiple noble families vie for control across eight seasons. In a medieval fantasy world threatened by an ancient supernatural evil awakening beyond the Wall, ambitious lords and ladies navigate treachery, war, and political intrigue. Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and the Stark family emerge as central figures in an epic saga where no character is safe from death. The series weaves together dozens of interconnected storylines across continents, exploring themes of honor, ambition, survival, and the corrupting nature of power. Dragons return to the world, magic resurfaces, and the line between hero and villain blurs as characters make impossible choices. With shocking character deaths, complex moral ambiguity, and stunning production values, Game of Thrones became a cultural phenomenon that redefined television storytelling, though its final season proved divisive among fans.
