GAME OF THRONES Qyburn Interview - Anton Lesser

[@elizabeths7700]

He's wonderful! He has this wonderful expressive face and infectious grin that saw me smiling through the entire interview. A truly delightful man :-)

[@BezoRazo]

Elizabeth S I quite agree :-) I was delighted to come across an interview with this largely overshadowed (by his more famous castmates with their more prominent characters) actor. I relish his rare (though, increasingly frequent!) appearances on screen :-)

[@nsavernon]

lol I loved Qyburn

[@peteowen3539]

One of the most recognisable voices in theatre. We are so fortunate to have so many great British actors!

[@hatehypocrisy1]

I love Anton's voice

[@tinutennyson797]

Stannis: What's your name ? Qyburn: Anton Lesser. Stannis: Fewer :D

[@mojewjewjew4420]

Davos:What?

[@nsavernon]

Stannis: nothing....

[@omgblastbeatslol]

This comment deserves so many more likes

[@Laurasyt]

What a lovely guy! Can't help but smile watching him

[@Namirast]

I love his gleeful, mad-scientist laugh. Hope they get to use it in the show sometime at least once. :)

[@Javert2012]

He has such a lovely charismatic voice, even in real-life

[@jljohnson1949]

I fell in love with Anton Lesser in Wolf Hall! Amazing actor.

[@PorkchopsJohnson]

His scenes with Mark Rylance were amazing!

[@dirkbogarde44]

One of the best voices around.

[@DADchs13]

+dirkbogarde44 he really should be a voice actor in games. He could play some great characters

[@dervlaann]

+DLuX you know he's read a load of audio books? Incl. Iain M Bank's Algebraist - worth checking out!

[@blodwynswayze1531]

+dervlaann And the Iliad and Odyssey.

[@strangelysuspicious2721]

I've just joined a musical in Stratford-upon-Avon and his daughter is the lead! So he has to pick her up from rehearsals, and I said hi once and he said hi back and I nearly screamed! It's quite surreal seeing him in real life.

[@atomic9706]

Holy shit!! Make him teach you how to necromance the fuck outta corpses, create a larger undead army than the Night King

[@mahnoorkhan5657]

He plays the character really well

[@blodwynswayze1531]

+Mahnoor Khan Brilliantly, he's a real pro and seems like such a nice guy to boot.

[@SillyMoustache]

We hear Anton almost every day on BBC radio, as he reads many drama programmes. Instantly recognisable, and always convincing.

[@tomservo1971]

Qyburn is a unique villain in GoT. Polite, humble, meek and channeling Joseph Megele. One more time when you're saying, "what in the living fuck is wrong with GRRM?"

[@DADchs13]

+Robert McCoy hes an imaginative, free thinker. The fact that we society question what the fuck is wrong with people like that proves you have to be dull and a blind follower to fit in with everyone.

[@Jack-ih8sx]

Am I the only one who actually REALLY likes qyburn?....Probably

[@HTWW]

I love him to death. He is amazing, really.

[@rakesprogresspt2]

He is a scene-stealer, absolutely magnetic and I like his devotion to Cersei, one of the few to stand by her.

[@nsavernon]

lol Qyburn was the best!

[@morningstar6552]

Without doubt. Anton Lesser is an utter delight. Charming, unnerving and so very sinister.

[@swinetastic]

I liked Qyburn almost as much as Cersei and Tywin :)

[@Madchimpz]

I'm surprised this is the first time I'm seeing an interview with him, let alone seeing him outside the show. I think he's a pretty important and prominent character, he adds a lot to the show. Great actor.

[@TheCulturalBomb]

To think in this video he was surprised to be acting in good scenes. Now he is Hand of the Queen and one of the best characters.

[@emmicllns]

he seems really sweet! shame there aren’t any recent interviews with him

[@slan7]

Qyburn's a great character. Wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty during his days in the Citadel. A very forward thinking man in his world.

[@mori1bund]

The prototype of an unethical scientist.

[@jeangove01]

He's sadistic, and justifies his sadism through his search for knowledge.

[@blodwynswayze1531]

+Jean Gove' Ramsay's sadistic. Qyburn's more.....curious.

[@V4ka1]

all of your interviews are so well done!!

[@Activated_Complex]

Such a great character and performance.

[@TomUK737]

As always on GoTs, PERFECT casting. Love Anton as Qyburn, can't wait to see more of him as Hand of the Queen in season 7. I really hope they go into more detail about his necromancy in the next books, its all so creepy and fantastic!

[@wrenwrenwood6503]

Great interview. Next season looks to be shaping up with this new storyline.

[@biketrailing4277]

Without a doubt, the best character in the entire franchise.

[@DutchHPfan1992]

Anton is brilliant as Qyburn!

[@Al3xand3r179]

Looking forward to his scene in episode 10! Glad he has got more scenes next season, should be great

[@wotskabbalah]

Excellent as Fagin in BBC's Dickensian.Consumate actor.

[@matthewgarrity5804]

I would binge watch Qyburn movies or series.

[@Chrai0n]

Man this could be the King's Jester! He is cool!

[@rickyred001]

Great to see him in GOT. I love his radio FALCO work, all his radio work is excellent.

[@shedevil50337]

Richard James He's got a very expressive voice, hasn't he? Shame only 5 Falco books were serialised. I'd have loved him to do the much darker Nemesis. Tbh, he's such an excellent actor he excels in everything he does. I'd recommend his role of Feste in Kenneth Branagh's 1988 film version of Twelfth Night, which involved him singing.

[@rickyred001]

Yes, i hear we are going to see more of Qyburn in the 5th series, bring on the blood, gore and massive syringes on !!!

[@directorA05]

Qyburn 2: Return Of Qyburn coming soon.

[@Edvinaronson]

Andres Frescas Don’t think so.

[@Amy-ql6tw]

Love him!

[@LostJak]

I thought his character was a pretty interesting one in the cast just at the first scene i saw he was in, and now I see the actor that portrays him is curiously cool too =D

[@SDG.12]

Qyburn the loyalest GOAT. Cersei always will be my queen

[@legoelagabalus]

Oh he is excellent.

[@kai76]

Great interview, thanks!

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

I would like to see his caracter doing some of the torture stuff in next season! Would especially love to hear the infamous "Alas, the poor girl is quite...exausted..." Quote

[@RayHickeylux]

Well, that puts the Robert Strong theory to bed, dunnit? Qyburn working with The Mountain to create some super duper mega monster zombie-esque killer king-gaurd

[@weeman3571]

Brilliant Actor.

[@mashaos9229]

He is so cute :-D

[@TheFinalGirly]

Aaaand I love Qyburn now xD

[@rspvarun]

"Obey your Queen Ser Gregor"

[@IAyala1010]

*splosh*

[@jamesmartin2452]

he is awesome. in game of thrones

[@NPA1001]

I think Qyburn is one of Lord Varys’ agents who has been playing a very long game.

[@MrArtigentz1]

Dont tell this to anyone, but im a doctor and qyburn ia by far my favourite character in got!

[@skroot7975]

haha, "very unorthodox ways to approach medicin and healing" :P well, that's one way of putting it. Can't wait to see his AFFC story in the series. :)

[@matthewgarrity9405]

still waiting for more Qyburn. where's the Qyburn franchise, HBO ?

[@narellewooding8319]

Qyburn is perhaps the most dangerous man in game of thrones

[@unsaturated8482]

i love this person

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

Qyburn is the man

[@BLAHisBACK]

"What am I going to do, I have no idea" get hype, that's what

[@mshalfaperson]

…. …. … …. …. .. . . . . .. . . . . . hype

[@mdaamin5698]

Its hard to believe is a nice fella in real life.

[@Madchimpz]

But he's a nice fella in the show too. He's always so nice and respectful, never insulting his queen's enemies.

[@amyclarke41]

Reminds me of my grandad

[@KrakeTube]

'According to Cersei Lannister, he looks like some little girl's favorite grandfather.'

[@swinetastic]

a modern Dr.Frankenstein character.

[@GlobalBass]

there are no spoliers here for 'cleganebowl'. its a nice theory that loads of people want to happen (including me) .. but it *just* won't

[@IdeaOfEvil]

CLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED!

[@daithimurphy6783]

Confirmed. RIP House Clegane

[@judahdelacruz]

This comment certainly aged well.

[@josueorgoaway]

Reminds me of Ian Mcdiarmid

[@DC05570]

"Guy Bun: The Movie" starring Jon Snow's man bun...

[@fatfrankthepeteacher2503]

Qyburn is the Victor Frankenstein of asoiaf

[@mori1bund]

Qyburn, the Josef Mengele of Westeros.

[@360Nomad]

mori1bund Mengele, but older, slightly less crazy/mad with power, and actually working to forward the cause of science rather than just coming up with creative ways to make people suffer.

[@millardlim981]

"Pycelle is on his way out." Gosh this guy just spoiled Pycelle's upcoming death in season 6. "Anarchic medicine man" - just about the perfect description of Qyburn. This character would have had a VERY bright future in Nazi Germany.

[@swinetastic]

Srly ... He's more Frankenstein than Mengele.

[@ukstevey]

I love how sinister and creepy qyburn was.

[@elliotgirl3921]

and still very loyal and care

[@Fnelrbnef]

Dumbledore?

[@IAyala1010]

Obey your queen, Ser Gregor!

[@SenorMorgenStern]

He's so anti-Game of Thrones. I want to see more of people not in power. I would love to see more of of him and that .

[@geshoosback]

Awwww yiss UnGregor :D

[@philippeterson2497]

GLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED GET HYPE

[@SlideRulePirate]

The Josef Mengele of Westeros. I wonder if he'd like a go at jump-starting the remains of Joffrey. I think that would be interesting. Thoroughly unpleasant indeed, but who wouldn't want to watch that?

[@toikissa8734]

Odd little man

[@jayvila4755]

I'm rather fond of him
