10 Actors Who Asked For Their TV & Movie Characters To Be Killed Off
5. Julian Glover - Game Of Thrones
After playing Grand Maester Pycelle for six seasons on Game of Thrones, Julian Glover had had enough. His character was getting increasingly dismissed. Cersei Lannister ticked off Pycelle all the time and the poor old man never had any comebacks. So Glover went to the showrunners and asked to be written off the show.
They asked him not to leave just yet. They had an excellent scene for him. It was his iconic death scene in the ninth episode of season six. This happened just before Cersei Lannister blew up the Great Sept of Baelor, the Westerosi equivalent of the Vatican.
