Christie is one of those rare actors who's starred in two massive pop culture universes simultaneously: her role on GOT as Brienne of Tarth has overlapped with her Star Wars turn as the villainous Captain Phasma. Christie is currently reprising her role as Phasma in Star Wars Resistance, an animated series set in the years before The Force Awakens, which has been renewed for a second season.
