Before you receive a yes, you get a lot of no’s. The part of Lyanna Mormont in the show was an audition for Brown.
According to her, she was just going through the motions of auditioning for commercials or anything else until she received a rejection for her role in Game of Thrones. At that point, she realized, “Oh, this is really difficult.”
“Well, it seems that part was appealing to me.” Remember Lyanna? She’s the fierce and unyielding woman of Bear Island who rallies her men to battle with the Starks.
With a dragonglass dagger thrust to the eye, the hero brings down an undead behemoth, and then he or she goes out with a bang. I would mention spoilers, but I mean, it’s been a long time.
Actress Bella Ramsey, who previously appeared on Game of Thrones, co-starred with Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us after playing the role.
When Brown received a callback for the Netflix series Mauntauk, everything turned out fine in the end. Brown was cast as Eleven in the rebranded series Stranger Things.
Two Primetime Emmy nominations have come Brown’s way since then, thanks to her stellar performance.
