Yeah there are a few actors a tier below others. Harrington, Bran, Danerys, and others are categorically in the lower tier. I think that Sansa improved as the series went on.Aye, it's a real problem that 3 of the main protagonists are played by wooden actors/actresses.
Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke and Sophie Turner are very attractive people but they're barely even in the same profession as someone like Charles Dance, or even some of their current costars like Lena Headey or Coster-Waldau.
This is pretty much summed up by their work outside of GoT. As you say, Harrington has been awful in his other roles, Turner is dreadful in X-Men and Clarke was similarly shit in Terminator. They just don't have the ability to capture the audience like some of the great actors/actresses that this show has seen.
Charles Dance, Tyrion, Theon/Reek, Cersei and the old Tyrell woman are superb and a class above. And some of the one-season wonders were very good too, like Pedro Pascual, Ned Stark and Mark Addy.
