“I’ve flicked [the show] on [since leaving] to see if I could figure out what was going on, but I couldn’t. “Liam Cunningham [who plays Stannis’ right-hand man, Ser Davos Seaworth] is so passionate about the show. “He invests in it in a way I think is quite moving, but it wasn’t my experience.
“I was entirely dependent on Liam to tell me what the scenes were about — I didn’t know what I was doing until we’d finished filming and it was too late. “The damage had been done. I thought no one would believe in me and I was rather disheartened by the end. “I felt I’d built the castle on non-existent foundations.”But while some of the scenes starring Stannis were definitely (more than a bit) difficult to watch, like when he stoically watched as his daughter was burned at the stake, it had nothing to do with his acting skills - so we reckon he’s being a bit too hard on himself here. The actor has featured in a number of projects since leaving the HBO show, including the World War II drama Darkest Hour, due out near Christmas, and the on-going TV drama, The Tunnel.
