...Will Affect Her Career After ‘Game Of Thrones’: ‘It’s A Shallow Industry’

Personally , I think she's cute and more importantly she's a pretty good actress . I think the only thing that will work against her is Game of thrones itself because people will keep associating her with Arya Stark . It may take a long time for her to break that barrier.
There’s still another year or so to go until the final episodes of “Game of Thrones” air but the cast of the hit HBO show have already started saying their goodbyes.
Maisie Williams, 20, who plays Arya Stark in the much-loved series, has started to think of a world outside Westeros and has admitted she’s a little worried she’ll only get given certain roles.
The actress told The Irish Times: “It’s only now I’m starting to realize the characters that are available to me because of the way I look and the characters that aren’t available to me.
“It’s a very shallow industry. And I don’t look like someone who is cast in roles that are, well, sexualized. Don’t get me wrong. I’m completely in awe of Hollywood’s leading ladies. I love looking at those totally jaw-droppingly beautiful women. But I think it’s sad that you only get to see one type of beautiful on screen.”
Williams, who has been open about her feminist views in the past and has said she thinks we should lose the term altogether, went on to say, “I didn’t even know what the word ‘feminist’ meant until I became an actress.”
“Within my family I never felt that I had to conform to any kind of types. I had no idea about what was typically male or typically female. I didn’t even know about skin colour.
“I used to go trampolining with two guys called Andy. One of them was black and one of them was white. And I remember I was invited to a birthday party by one of the Andys, and Mom said, ‘It’s the black Andy.’ And I asked, ‘Which one is the black Andy?’ I didn’t even know. But I think it’s quite lovely that I was so clueless.”
Williams’ latest comments come after she told Entertainment Weekly: “I feel like we should stop calling feminists ‘feminists’ and just start calling people who aren’t feminist ‘sexist’ – and then everyone else is just human. You are either a normal person or a sexist. People get a label because they’re bad.”
