In both the overview video above and individual clips, the actor who has portrayed the mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen is joined by fellow GoT cast members Kit Harington, a forthrightly “grateful” Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, John Bradley and the “Kingslayer himself Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, among others.
In the video above, Harington reveals that the (temporary) death of his Jon Snow in the Season 5 finale back in 2015 was his “most shocking” moment of the series so far. The actor’s on-screen sibling Turner said the beheading of the Sean Bean-portrayed Ned Stark at the end of GoT’s first season caused her to “distrust the show” and who would die next – & that’s on a show that has been a blood bath from the get go and had that infamous “Red Wedding” massacre episode.
In many ways, and avoiding the closely guarded secret of how it all ends, Dane Coster-Waldau nails the collective sentiment of the actors about the journey that the show based on George R.R. Martin’s writings took them and fans. “I was like a little puppy when I arrived, I was like Bambi on the ice,” the actor who has played Jaime Lannister on the David Benioff and D.B. Weiss EP’d multiple-Emmy winner. “And coming to Belfast, I learned how to walk with pride and joy.”

Trust me, as deep tracks fan of the show, you’ll find some BTS nuggets and recall what you might have forgotten about what makes Game of Thrones true small screen royalty.
