Getting ready for a role
To prepare for her Game of Thrones auditions, Christie wore unisex clothing to get into her character's masculine mindset and took up intensive training, adding more than a stone (6.4 kg) of muscle.
First role
Christie made her on screen debut in a 2007 short film called The Time Surgeon, which Nathaniel Mellors wrote and directed.
Behind the award
Christie was nominated for her first Primetime Emmy for the final season of Game of Thrones after submitting herself for consideration.
A role that slipped away
Lily Rabe had to back out of the part of Commander Lyme because of scheduling conflicts, so in 2015 Gwendoline Christie took the role in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.
