Iwan Rheon on the Rise and Demise of Game of Thrones’ Villain Ramsay Bolton | The Rich Eisen Show

“Battle of the Bastards” is one of the most intense and greatest moments in television history.

[@gdbssa]

One of the worst

[@gilgamesh8334]

with 0 stakes because despite the anti war message NO ONE dies that anyone cares about. Rikcon dies? No consequences, nobody talks about it, nobody cares, never mentioned again. The knights of the Vale secretly teleporting into the North without ANYONE noticing complete bullshit. Jon Snow truning into prime Jaime Lannister and surving without a scratch because of plot armor. Mountains of dead somehow. This battle is all spectacle with no moral ambiguity. We know the Starks will win against the comic book villain. This was a symptome of what destroyed GOT. I'd take 1 scenes of Barristan and Ned walking and talking over 10 Battles of the Bastards.

In a series that had some really good actors, Iwan really impressed me in the same way Jack Gleeson did - he made Ramsay so detestable that it's sometimes easy to forget that he is playing a role and is not pure evil.

@@tornadochaser2457 the book doesn't show Ramsay actually committing the vast majority of his atrocities. but you see the results and the damage. it's talked about after the fact. but the damage to theon is so much more. he's starved down to skin and bones. most of his teeth have been broken or pulled out. he's missing most of his fingers and toes... because Ramsay would flay the skin so the skin would hang off the exposed wound to fester for days, weeks before mercifully cutting off the digit (the pain would cause theon to try to chew off his own fingers to which he would be punished for). there's the alluding to castration. theon's hair has gone gray... etc etc...

I don't get it why actors are always asked about former shows when they just want to promote their new one. And it's not like these questions have been asked a hundred times before.. when the show was still running. Just make 1 or 2 comments about how you loved the performance in the old show/s and show more interest in the new one. Iwan is a great actor and showed it on more shows than GOT.

[@joecommenter1332]

There is topics the actor would like to discuss and promote. There are topics the fans want to hear discussed. The talk show has to balance the two.

[@Katie-j8w]

Hearing him talk about playing Ramsay and GoT or other work of the past like Misfits is always interesting, and he’s always very nice about it. I think he’s said it’s more annoying when it feels like some of the best know, most popular things take over. And he’s right. Since sometimes it’s all people want to talk about. I think it’s maybe more annoying when people pop up under all his posts, comment sections with GoT comments, memes, etc and ignore everything else, when he’s talking about other things he cares about or other projects.

That’s exactly why you and others should watch more than one project an actor is in. 1. You will know more of their work and roles. With him, there’s many more than just Ramsay in GoT. 2. Especially if they played a villain that some people apparently struggle so badly with separating from the character. It will help. Though I don’t know when so many people became illogical idiots who forgot they were watching actors in a tv show, and I believe this kind of stupid, repetitive comment is just made by people for attention online.
