I'm told Conleth's quoted in the Inside Game of Thrones book, but no, he doesn't do much interviewing. Gillen, I don't think he's done any really GoT-specific interview yet -- though he has had a couple that touched on it in Irish papers. There was a long one with Headey last year... not so much this year, but she's been busy with Judge Dredd I think. Dillane is very scarce, much as Fairley was last year -- he may not be a fan of doing publicity, but maybe next season... There's been a couple of McCann ones, too, but we haven't interviewed him yet ourselves.
One has to keep Google-ing them , for instance the Los Angles Times Entertainment section had an interview with Carice van Houten yesterday, about the show, I mean a in print interview, she was in hometown Amsterdam. I guess news organizations have cleb telephone numbers. This was a longer one than I have seen before and they do talk about the show.
Of note:
Several things if she was wearing a merkin in that birthing scene I didn't see it, she said she did, unless it was the earlier nude scene , just looked like a prosthetic tummy, they did a very good job. (I don't understand the deal about merkins , all actresses shave nowdays? Lucy Lawless has long exposition about merkins in an interview with her about the STARZ Startacus show, it's quite funny.)Anyway enough of that!
The interview mentioned how her Dutch accent went with being from Asshai. Does Carice really have a Dutch sounding accent? To my ears she has a subtle sounding unidentifiable accent!
I swear in person, I have seen her interviewed on video before , like so many Dutch, Danish , Scandinavian actors they seem to come on with what sounds almost like a flat Midwestern American accent , maybe it's because they can speak idiomatic American English. Noomi Rapace does not have, seem to have ,any accented English in her vocabulary, it's kind of weird. Usually French and Italian actors have an accent, most Germans, but not all. O well.
Weird, Winter is Coming has a long interview with Amrita Acharia, who played, Irri, yesterday also, didn't expect that... no nothing is really explained about her character , to my satisfaction at least.
Now there is a long interview with Conleth Hill and Ciarán Hinds on YouTube about a play they were in, so seems Hill does not mind interview.
Come tho think of it Ciarán Hinds would be great on this show , an Iron Born role comes to mind.
I have seen some guerilla interviews with some actors (I don't mean the paparazzi type), Dance was in one and was quite gracious Maisie does them too, but she seems to be having fun!
Maybe Hill would not like something like that?
I like real off-set non docu-interviews like Thronecast does...those , those, some, do wander a bit a times.

This is the first time we’ve met him in person, and he’s as charming as you might expect. He takes a great deal of relish in this role he plays—a role that he’s indicated (in another interview) features what may well be the best scene he’s ever had to play as an actor—and brings his own perspective to bear on the most loathed knight in the Seven Kingdoms, what makes him tick, and what he wants. And there’s hints, here and there, of things he’s really not allowed to talk about…Read it here!
Should be interesting to see what they kept in the series vs the books since the Jaime/Brienne interactions are among my favourites.
