Damn! That's pretty hard to say. I think all the actors in the show did a phenomenal job, but the characters they play are for the most part very deep. It's hard to say. Anyway's I'll give it a shot. If I had to give my favorite three, it would probably be Peter Dinklage, Jack Gleeson, and Iwan Rheon. But like I said, every single actor in Game of Thrones did a phenomenal job.
Charles Dance would have had to have been the best actor on the show while Tywin was still alive. Now, I'd say Iwan Rheon (Ramsay) and Michael McElhatton (Roose) are the best actors on the show, in my opinion. Peter Dinklage is outstanding as well. There's a lot of great actors on the show.
No love for Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon? That dude was amazing.
Props also to Jack Gleeson as Joffrey, Peter Dinklage as Tyrion, Alfie … moreAllen as Theon/Reek, Richard Madden as Robb, Maisie Williams as Arya, Conleth Hill as Varys, Rose Leslie as Ygritte, Iwan Rheon as Ramsey, and Rory McCann as the Hound. And Sean Bean was obviously great.

Alphie is great for sure. I would say Lena Headey though, she can do more acting with just her face than a lot of people can with everything at their disposal.
I think that Jack Gleeson plays Joffery really well, he does a good job at making everyone hate him. Like others have said Peter Dinklage is also a really good actor.
I think most of the actors play their parts really well so it's hard to choose a favourite.
I don't think anyone acts better on that show than Dinkles, but Alphie is also great, especially after the latest episode. Also Peter Vaughan, who plays Maester Aemon, and of course, Lena Headey.
They're all such a great cast, you can see they were carefully picked.
Oh shit, how'd I forget to mention Charles Dance? :L By far the best bit of casting on the show.
Speaking of people I left out, Nikolaj and Lena are both brilliant as the twins. Feel terrible for leaving Jaime out in particular since he's my favorite character...

I don't know (all of) their names but,
1.Ramsey: completely steals every scene he is in.
2. Cersei: it's insane how well she captures her character.
3. Stannis: Just like the above, every movement he makes, feels like the character.
4. Theon: His character has had huge development and he's done a great job throughout.
5. Tywin
6. Tyrion
7. Joffrey
8. Robert
9. Catelyn
10. Margeary

This scene made Jaime one of my top favorite characters of the series and Nikolaj could not have performed better here.

I've seen her in other stuff but nothing memorable. However her as Cersei I love to hate her.
Aidan Gillen
That dude to me steals any scene he's in. He's become my favorite character in the show. He's such a little shit I love it.
Jack Gleeson
OMG I HATED him soooooooo much as Joffrey. He did such an amazing job as that character.
Maisie Williams
She is just so believable to me. Her spunk and personality that comes out in the Arya character. Only thing is I don't think I could see her in anything else until she grows up.
Iwan Rheon
Same as Jack, he does such a good job of making me hate his character. His mannerisms are the best. Just the slight smile and things he does while listening to others talk. He's just sooooooooooo good.
Sean Bean
Just duh.
I'd like to add a couple that I think are the worst.
Emilia Clarke
I think people like her simply because they think she's hot. She's just so stone like in her performance. There is no emotion and no charisma to her performance and her facial expressions have become a meme they're so bad.
Sophie Turner
This one to be fair I have not seen her in anything else so it might just be my hate of the Sansa character. But if it is indeed the actress that makes the role unbearable to me then she is the worst. She is forgettable in every scene that she's in to me. She's just somebody that happens to be there for me.
I will say Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy. Really good job.
I Also adore Lena Headey (Cersei) and Charles Dance (Tywin). Pedro Pascal as Oberyn was superb too.
But my real favourite was Harry Lloyd as Viserys. Seriously, is impressive what this actor did: He gave Viserys a hole amount of humanity.. to the point that you can feel bad for his character, and maybe understand him a little, something i'm sure does not happen to anyone while reading the novels. One of the few characters that's much better in the Tv show than in the books (In my opinion of course).
As for the worst actors... Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington are the worst in the whole cast in my opinion... but i have to say that Kit at least is been improving a lot in the last two seasons, while Emilia does not.

I don't watch the show, but, IMO, it's Peter Dinklage.
Good choice
Stephen Dillane most definitely. The guy is Stannis and Stannis is him. He got him just perfect.

I think Richard Madden did an excellent job as Robb. Peter Dinklage and Sean Bean were also great.
He's definitely up there on the list.

Alfie Allen's fantastic, aye. I'd also say Conleth Hill, though I don't know which of the two I'd place first.
Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance are amazing.
Peter Dinklage and Iwan Rheon are the best on the show I think.
Mark Addy was a perfect Robbie B

The guy who did Hodor. I recently went to one of his DJ shows.
I wonder if he has difficulties with learning his lines
Alfie for sure after last night's episode. Damn, that man can act. As for women, I would say Lena Headey, she's perfect as Cersei.
Iwan Rheon does an amazing job in my opinion.
Iwan Rheon and The Dinkles.
Lena Headley. I hate Cersei so much but episodes w/o her lacks something.
James Cosmo (Commander Mormont), plus many of those already mentioned. The Old Bear needs more love though.
Alphie is great for sure. I would say Lena Headey though, she can do more acting with just her face than a lot of people can with everything at their disposal.

Best Actor? ~Toss up between Charles Dance, Jack Gleeson, Iwan Rheon, Alfie Allen, Stephan Dillane and Peter Dinklage
Best Actress? ~Lena Headey. Hands down. She plays Cersei perfectly.
Oh shit, how'd I forget to mention Charles Dance? :L By far the best bit of casting on the show.

those two do a phenomenal job scaring the shit out of me.
well a lot of them are dead.... but i really feel Peter Dinklage is the best, but they are all fantastic.
I always thought Sophie Turner doesnt get enough credit for how good she is.
I don't know (all of) their names but,
1.Ramsey: completely steals every scene he is in.
2. Cersei: it's insane how well she captures her character.
3. Stannis: Just like the above, every movement he makes, feels like the character.

5. Tywin

Id add Davos and Jorah. One thing the show does well is cast great actors.
Literally there are only a few I really dont like, it would be easier to list them
Lena Headey is a standout for me
He still tried to kill Brandon...that's unforgivable .
There are so many good actors on this show it's hard to pick! One of my favorite unsung actors is Diana Rigg, who plays Olenna Tyrell.
She's so damn sassy and puts just about everyone in their place so effortlessly that it is a delight to watch her on screen.
Favorites:
Peter Dinklage
Lena Headey

He's a grey character, which is what I love about him. It shows he's not perfect.
I will say Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy. Really good job.
I Also adore Lena Headey (Cersei) and Charles Dance (Tywin). Pedro Pascal as Oberyn was superb too.
But my real favourite was Harry Lloyd as Viserys. Seriously, is impressive what this actor did: He gave Viserys a hole amount of humanity.. to the point that you can feel bad for his character, and maybe understand him a little, something i'm sure does not happen to anyone while reading the novels.

I think Charles Dance (I think thats his name) did Tywin Lannister perfectly. They're all really talented though, I have to say.
