You could be a multi award winning actor with a string of credits as long as your arm, but if you've had even a small part in GOT then the media will always describe you as 'Game of Thrones actor, so and so'
It was once true of Harry Potter. I'd be prepared to bet that somewhere in the past there was an Eric Sykes' media obituary that referred to him as 'Harry Potter star Eric Sykes'
it annoys me a little bit, tbh
Yup. But 'twas ever thus. The late Sir Alec Guinness was annoyed that his headline was always 'Star Wars' Obi Wan Kenobi', rather than his amazing body of work over his career. Still, he made a fair packet of cash out of it.
Eric Sykes was in Harry Potter? Don't remember that one, must have been a tiny cameo. Hence your point, I guess.
RIP Dame Diana.
