A 'Game of Thrones' actor showed up to Comic-Con looking completely unrecognizable

When members of the "Game of Thrones" cast arrived to Comic-Con Friday, fans may have had to do a quick double take at one of the actors. 

Conleth Hill, who plays Tyrion's council Varys on the series, showed up to the "Game of Thrones" panel with a full head of hair.

Hill isn't the only actor on "Game of Thrones" who looks completely different off set.

Emilia Clarke (who plays Daenerys) and Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella) are among a bunch of actors who look different from their characters in real life. You can check out what the "Game of Thrones" cast looks like in real life here.
