Game of Thrones Actress Voices We Happy Few Main Character
Game of Thrones actress Charlotte Hope will voice one of the main characters in We Happy Few.
On today's episode of Inside Xbox, Compulsion Games' founder Guillaume Provost revealed the actress is voicing Sally Boyle, one of the three playable characters in the survival adventure game set in a drug-addled dystopia.
Charlotte Hope is an English actress best known for her reoccurring role as Myranda, the sadistic girlfriend of Ramsay Bolton in seasons 3 - 6 of HBO's hit drama series.
"Most of our cast is from England," Provost said during the Inside Xbox interview. "We tried casting some actors in Canada ... when we were tight on budget and didn't have a lot of money. And what we realized is that some of the actors can do British accents quite convincingly, but it's very difficult to have a convincing performance at the same time."

And since they're generally considered underrated, we're taking this opportunity to call it. These films aren't underrated anymore. They're just good films. And some of them are outright classics.
