Aside from "Game of Thrones," Mac has also modeled for swimwear brands and has appeared in several music videos.

In the world of film and TV production, body doubles play an important role to the production. They provide extra shots and stand in for the actors during crucial scenes. While most remain anonymous, others, like Mac, get noticed for their remarkable likeness to the original actors.

Another "Game of Thrones" body double who got noticed was Rebecca Van Cleave, who stood in for Lena Headey, a.k.a. Cersei Lannister, during her "Walk of Shame" scene last season.

According to Look UK, Mac has reportedly played her part so well that the show's producers actually wrote a small part for her in the upcoming season.

"Game of Thrones" season 6 is expected by Spring 2016.
