Season 6 Interview roundup: Iwan Rheon, Jonathan Pryce, Sophie Turner, Iain Glen, Emilia Clarke and more!

RamsayDinner

Iwan Rheon discusses the humor in playing Ramsay Bolton and some of the deceased characters he would have loved to film with. Emilia Clarke chats with Ellen Degeneres about Game of Thrones‘ popularity and Sophie Turner does an impression of Jon Snow, Wolverine and Professor X.

In an interview with ShortList, Iwan Rheon discussed how Ramsay’s joyful disposition makes him an easier character to both play and watch.

“He’s not just evil and doing things, he’s actually enjoying it. You get that sense of fun. I guess it makes it slightly easier for the audience that he’s a bit funny.”

Similarly, the “sheer ridiculousness of how evil these characteres are” can bring some levity to the set. “That dinner party in Season 5, where we were being so horrendous, everyone was just laughing. There’s so much tension and it’s got to crack sometimes.”

Though he hinted a few weeks ago that season 6 will show off “different sides” of Ramsay, he clarified to ShortList that that doesn’t mean he’s necessarily getting nicer. “I don’t see him softening. I can’t see him donating to any charities,” he said.

He also discussed some of the show’s most famous deaths, mentioning that he would have loved to have filmed a scene with Charles Dance and that, “it would have been interesting to see Ramsay and Jon Snow meet.”

Indeed it would have …

Jonathan Pryce spoke with Newsweek about Game of Thrones and the moral ambiguity of his character, the High Sparrow. “People say, ‘You’re playing a bad guy,’ and I’m thinking, ‘I’m not playing a bad guy. I’m playing a good guy.’ High Sparrow believes he’s good, as do many religious fundamentalists believe they are good. Ultimately, what they are doing is wrong.”

At the premiere for Eye in the Sky, which stars Iain Glenn and Dame Helen Mirren, Mirren admitted that, though she had previously expressed casual interest in being on Game of Thrones, she “may have lost [her] chance” at this point. Iain Glen concurred that “maybe there’s no great role for Helen” this far into the series. “We’re reaching the end game … everyone’s heading towards the Iron Throne and Westeros so maybe she’s right.”

Around 30 seconds into the video, Iain makes a comment that might be considered a spoiler, if he is telling the truth. The actor says (click to uncover spoilers) :

that they’ll probably be filming later in the year, since it’s supposed to be getting colder. He says they have not read the scripts yet so “Fingers crossed I’m still alive, I don’t know.”

On The Ellen Show, Emilia Clarke chatted with Ellen Degeneres about the popularity of Game of Thrones and said that she didn’t really get a sense of what a cultural phenomenon it was until she saw it satirized on The Simpsons. She then showed off her dubious knack for accents through a game of Heads Up.

Sophie Turner gave her impression of Jon Snow reading the lyrics for Adele’s “Hello,” Wolverine and Charles Xavier and lip synced to Justin Bieber.

Alfie Allen and Daniel Portman discussed season 6 with OCS. Allen mentioned one scene that he’s particularly looking forward to that’s integral to Theon’s journey. “I won’t go into specifics but considering it’s a 30-second scene it’s pretty amazing what they’ve done with the environment itself.” Portman hinted at Pod’s story next season. “It’s all about him becoming a man and learning about what his path is and what he’s going to do with his life.”
