Westeros Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Last month, I had the opportunity to sit down with a number of the actors involved in Game of Thrones, to talk about the journey so far, and perhaps to draw out a few hints about what’s to come. First up in this interview series—leading up to and into the next season—I had the pleasure to talk with Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane), the latter of whom I’ve never had the pleasure of interviewing before. We have a chance to talk the joys of Vine, the pleasures of Iceland, and how their characters get along as season 4 commences.InterviewMaisie, many people have mentioned you as a very impressive actress. Do you have any method you use, or have you just picked things up since you started the show?Maisie: When all this started and I was cast as Arya, it was sort of because I “was” Arya and that kind of thing. When you’re that age, you’re not really acting, I guess, so you try to find someone who is similar to the role. Since then, I’ve worked with some fantastic actors and actresses, and I’ve learned so much from them. I’ve watched and learned how people make it more natural. At the beginning, I wasn’t too worried about what I was doing, and I try to keep to that because it worked then, and I hope it works now. How does it feel not to get to act with Sophie?Maisie: I still see Sophie all the time when we’re filming. We crossover a lot this season, actually, as we were filming at the same time a lot of the time. It was really great to see her at the hotel and things. I was in New York recently and she was shooting a film there, and we both went to a fashion show together. We still do loads of great things. She’s doing fantastically, and we get on so well. It’s great to also have that escape of hanging out together, because most of the scenes we do on the show are really, really intense so it’s nice to just go home and make stupid vine videos and things like that.To read the rest of the interview, visit our Features!Visit the Site!

Benjaario Starkharis Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What does the Hound want? Rory: Arya’s the Hound’s meal ticket now, so a lot it’s about surviving in this violent, dangerous world. So it might mean money, it might mean a place, it might even mean something with peace at the end of it. Gravedigger confirmed. Therefore, Cleganebowl confirmed as well.

HairGrowsBack Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Gravedigger confirmed. Therefore, Cleganebowl confirmed as well. GET HYPE You spend way too much time on Reddit :laugh: I'm looking forward to how they'll deal with it : if they do show Sandor as the gravedigger (next season), it might well mean he'll play a part in TWoW/ADoS.

aussiegirl Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That's a great interview. I am so pumped for this season. I like that Arya is going to be able to subtly manipulate the Hound and that he is going to teach her things. It feels like it will be a fairly even relationship in that way. And I can't wait for them to 'go at each other'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyvasse Khal Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 +1 for great interview. Can't question Maisie and Rory's commitment to this show, and great to know that Rory has read the books and was so eager to know the back story of The Hound before he really got going, I think his understanding of the character definitely pays off on screen.

Le Cygne Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Another Maisie interview: While the Hound has a soft spot for Arya's older sister Sansa, he also has one for her. That's something Williams says Arya recognizes in her traveling companion. "Definitely, especially now that she knows the Hound's got a bit of a weak spot for her, and he did actually help her out and he didn't need to help her out at the Red Wedding," she explains. "He could have just let her run in there and get herself killed, but he hit her over the head, which actually was the better option. http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2014/03/game-of-thrones-season-4-arya-and-the-hound-have-mutual-respect.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
