28. Richard Madden

When it comes to being on a nerdtastic television show, you get some pretty dumb references and jokes. But part of the charm of Richard Madden is that he takes all those idiotic Game of Thrones jokes and he runs with them.

Even Jimmy Kimmel is subject to making a terrible Thrones joke and Richard just smiles and makes a joke right back. And it also helps that he has beautiful blue eyes staring into your soul to make you want to love him.

But really, he’s just an adorable man who made us all love a character that was gone too soon. If you’re someone like me, you’re still not over Robb Stark’s death. Because really, it was unnecessary. (Not really but I just want Robb Stark alive and well on my television show.)

The thing about Richard is just that he seems like an easy guy to talk to. He’s laid back and just tackles interviews with ease. There doesn’t seem to be a nervous bone in his body. And it helps that there are adorable stories out there about how he cried on a plane after his time on Game of Thrones had wrapped.

So, Richard, we love you.
