Although Revenge of the Sith was her first movie after becoming the youngest person ever nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for Whale Rider, Castle-Hughes’ star waned after the film until picking back up in the 2010s with shows like The Almighty Johnsons, Roading, FBI: Most Wanted, and Game of Thrones, where she played Obara Sand.
