    • Grand Maester Pycelle on "Game of Thrones".
    • Donovan from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
    • 4 episodes each with the 1st and 4th Doctors on "Doctor Who".
  • Walkers are more frightening on four legs than they would be on two.

    • Is this for documentation?
    • Or is this still a live hologram call?
