Ciaran Hinds Didn T Watch Game Of Thrones After His Character S Death

It’s not completely unheard of that an actor doesn’t want to watch their work on screen. Sometimes it’s a matter of being a bit embarrassed about their performance. Sometimes they feel as if seeing what they look like when they are in character will somehow negatively affect their performance the next time. Other times, as is apparently the case with one Game of Thrones actor, it’s a matter of just losing interest in the show once they are no longer a part of it.

Hinds, who DC fans might recognize as the voice of Steppenwolf in Justice League, recently gave an interview where he admitted that he hasn’t watched Game of Thrones since his character was killed off. However, when talking to NME he also made it clear that at some point, he is going to sit down and watch the HBO series from start to finish. Hinds played Mance Rayder, the leader of the Free Folk who were just trying to make their way in the winter wasteland that was located beyond the wall.

While also admitting that once Rayder was killed off, he stopped watching the show, he talked about how important he thought the character was and why Rayder was such a popular character. Hinds said that he liked Rayder because he was someone who knew he had the capability to lead and to be a spokesman for the Free Folk. At the same time, he was a reluctant leader who didn’t put himself above the rest of the band of raiders on Game of Thrones. He added he felt as though that’s why people followed the character, before saying he didn’t watch the show after he was killed off.

Hinds didn’t elaborate on why exactly he stopped watching the show once he left. It’s possible he wasn’t particularly happy that his stay on Game of Thrones was fairly short. The big question now is, when he does sit down to watch the rest of the series, will he be as disappointed by the Game of Thrones finale as most of the fans were.

Game of Thrones is now streaming on HBO Max.
