Maisie Williams (born 15 April 1997)[1] is a British child actress.

Her first and so far only role[2] is that of Arya Stark, a tomboyish young girl from a noble family, in the 2011 HBO fantasy TV series Game of Thrones.[3] In the adult-themed drama, Williams was the first child actor called upon to film their character killing, for episode eight.[4] Williams received acclaim for her performance in the supporting role, with Zap2it calling her "wonderfully feisty"[5] and the Telegraph "fantastic".[6] In a May, 2011 interview with Entertainment Weekly, series executive producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss singled out Williams as "one to watch" among the child actors.[7]
