AI GeneratedThe speaker reflects on the surreal experience of joining the cast of Game of Thrones, highlighting their admiration for Peter Dinklage and the process of developing their character's motivations, specifically focusing on themes of vengeance and fearlessness.
It was just so surreal, I didn't really have any choice but to just show up and go to work.
A voice in my brain that's like, oh my god, that's the throne, you know?
Or like, enormous those pillars are, oh my god, I'm talking to Toronto fans, you know?
The first person I met was Peter Dinklage.
He's just the greatest.
He's one of the best actors I've ever worked with.
I was a fan of his before Game of Thrones.
I'd seen him on stage in New York, I'd seen him in movies.
I even approached him in the 90s, I'll never forget it.
I saw him in The Village, and I'd seen his movie, and I came up to him and I said,
you were so amazing in that movie.
Did he remember you? Did he remember that encounter?
No, no, no. He didn't mention that to me, actually.
But he was very welcoming, and he made it really, really easy.
Because he's such a great actor, and he plays with you.
Hello, Experiment here.
We're dropping these characters from this fantasy world in Westeros,
and we're putting them in a modern context.
So what do you think your characters' Twitter description would be?
Oh yeah, that really sets the tone for this season as well.
I know, right?
Yeah.
He's got a lot to prove going into this.
I mean, just walking into King's Landing.
He has nothing to prove.
Well, he's out for blood.
He's out for blood.
Yeah, he's out for vengeance on his heart.
Yeah.
And he's the people that everyone fears most, and he does not fear them.
Are you that fearless in your own life, do you think?
Absolutely.
If I was that fearless in my own life, I probably wouldn't even be here right now.
I'd probably be dead.
Intense.
I don't know if I'm fearless.
No, I'm not.
I've got a lot of my life ahead of me.
I'm scared.
