    Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Sam: Thomas Brodie-Sangster actually didn’t know how to play the drums before the film — he was taught by his dad. Also, Brodie-Sangster not only played a 13-year-old boy in the film, but would go on to play a 13-year-old boy again in Games of Thrones… ten years later.
