Richard Dormer Discusses HBO's "Game of Thrones" & Its Final Season

Selected by Variety as an "Artist of Distinction," this April, actor and writer Richard Dormer returns for the eighth and final series as the Lightning Lord Beric Dondarrion in HBO's "Game of Thrones." In the explosive conclusion of series seven, viewers were left questioning the fate of the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners, who so far has been killed in battle six times but kept alive by the Lord of Light, seemingly for a reason.

There's a reason he wasn't cast as Jorah. It would be unbelievable that Dany wouldn't leap at that the first chance she got. That goddamn voice

[@VandalJace]

Iain Glen has a hell of a voice too.

[@richardrogers7782]

Jorah has a. Great voice 2

[@HARIKUTTANful]

RIP the most selfless hero ever in GOT. He has served his purpose. The LIghtning Lord, Lord of the Brotherhood without banners, The unsung hero - Berric Dondarrion

[@jimmipadge]

Recasting him was one of the best recast decisions of the show...

[@Akeldama9]

Strangely enough, the first guy looks like he could be Richard's Beric, just before his 6 deaths.

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

Also not killing him off for Stoneheart lol. This guy's acting makes Beric one of my favorite characters. Such great presence and has the best voice in Westeros alongside Roose Bolton and Randyll Tarly.

[@lewdav805]

Nostalgic Bliss Barristan has an awesome voice also

[@AWSVids]

Brando J That’s a big part of why that recast doesn’t bother me. They look close enough that I can blur them together in my head cannon. But also because we only see the first guy briefly, and it’s two seasons before we see Beric again. If we saw the first guy for long dialogue scenes across multiple episodes and then they switch actors the next season, then maybe it would be Daario-level noticeable.

[@hamishsmith2685]

wait what? i dont remember this, who played him originally?

[@naturesbliss2903]

I just love this actors voice, I could listen to him talk all day.

[@seanfitz79]

Irishman

[@Josku2411]

If i could just lay down somewhere close my eyes and just listen to him yammer on about ANYTHING for hours i could die a happy man after that

Richard Dormer has the most AMAZING voice!

Ok... I'm a a straight man, but if Mr. Dormer was smooth-talking me with that voice, I'd consider it...

[@brandadse.1741]

[@jaylarsen6080]

Yeah, you might want to re-think the straight part.

[@oliveroliver8720]

Dormer and the actor who plays Randyll Tarly in Thrones have the most extraordinary deep voices.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

They need to do a play together

[@Brydigan94]

Oliver Oliver Roose Bolton has the coolest voice ever!

[@oliveroliver8720]

@@Brydigan94 Yes you're absolutely right the actor who plays Roose Bolton, Michael Mcelhatton, has a wonderful voice not as deep as the other two but wonderful all the same.

[@ziajka8918]

I was so sad when they killed Roose just because I loooove his voice so much

[@itiswhatitis0090]

Charles Dance and Sean Bean havegreat voices too.

[@runswithsoda]

His voice gives me that ASMR effect.

[@kikis2686]

Loving these Build Series interviews with some of the actors of Game of Thrones. They give so much insight to their characters and shows. Very intimate setting and more relaxing. Great Job to the host, both that I’ve seen have done a wonderful job.

[@chocolateladycap2773]

His voice is sooooooooooo deep!! OMG it’s wonderful.

[@faithli2131]

Best voice in the show. I checked whether he had audiobooks out. He should!

[@bejbimama6689]

He could read me telephone book to sleep😅

[@elizabitty213]

I love a host who seems to have actually watched and possible rewatched as all of the fans have/refreshing questions

[@noeytindol5529]

She's MUCH better interviewing than the guy who interviewed Melisandre and Samwell.

[@karenbaumgartel6077]

I absolutely agree with you!

[@4knewt505]

Agreed! I almost didn't watch when I realized it was the same show. She's classy and had an organic flow. He was frustrating and cringy

[@narcisomondejar8981]

Noey Tindol 👍 you're so right...and she's done her due diligence about the characters she's interviewed.😊

[@0FFICERPROBLEM]

John Bradley interview was fantastic, didnt matter who the interviewer was to me, also great audience questions so... go watch it

[@MichelMawon4982]

oh yeah, that Melisandre interviewer was really annoying

[@CoolsBreeze]

His and Jorah's voice are so damn good.

[@PjMeh]

Damn near died, when I heard them singing!

[@joka619]

always loved beric. and love his gravelly voice, he couldve been a great jorah too. but ian is amazing. wonder, what the other two roles were? probably ned, and littlefinger maybe.

[@HarrisaSports]

He would have made a good Davis, but I think his gritty voice went perfectly with the look of Beric. Battered and scarred with an eye missing. He was a fantastic character

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

His voice got me pregnant. And I'm a man.

[@mahmoudrady5258]

:D

[@mahmoudh6787]

Even if you Joke about getting pregnant, then clearly you are NOT a man :)

[@seppet0ni]

Do men normally lactate when Richard Dormer speaks or am I the only one?

[@fitnlite]

I could listen to him speak all day! Another excellent interview Britney. Well done.

[@4knewt505]

She's spectacular

[@battlecat403]

Loved his character, wish we got more of him. Went out like a hero.

[@MG-wc6nk]

Went to watch other Build interviews and I think she needs to be the permanent host because she got him so comfortable and she also seems the most professional as a journalist.

"That's what we are-- ghosts waiting for you in the dark. You can't see us, but we see you. No matter whose cloak you wear-- Lannister, Stark, Baratheon-- you prey on the weak, the Brotherhood without Banners will hunt you down. "

[@GutzOverFear]

bridge4 Eyyy... Kev fancy seeing you here. That's a cool quote by the way. The BWB always reminded me of a darker, grittier version of Robin Hood and the merry men. I wonder if George was actually influenced by that.

[@adamyahan9263]

The bwb reminds me of the assassin creed altair said "We fight in the shadow to serve the light"

Do you guys know if he did any audiobooks or something like that? I didn´t find much, but I just know that I need more of that voice in my life. Damnit, I´d listen to him reading a dictionary if I could.

Richard Dormer has an epic voice! I lost my voice in Thailand by drinking and smoking... When i tried to talk normal, nothing came out. But was able to talk like Richard Dormer.

[@yokaiclock9337]

I've been binge watching/listening GoT interviews while working on my finals and I have to say one thing: What a fabulous interviewer, I hope to see her doing more stuff! She asks insightful questions and doesn't try to talk over Richard (like the other Build Series guy). She has stood out to me because she's obviously a fan but not super nervous about interviewing the cast members (which I noticed from several other interviewers)
