10 Actors Who Trashed Their Own TV Shows
1. Game Of Thrones Was Too Painful To Watch For Stephen Dillane
And speaking of Westeros, it turns out that none other than Stannis Baratheon himself also wasn't in a rush to watch back a lot of the excessively brutal Game of Thrones show he was involved in.
When talking to Radio Times about his spell as the Lord of Dragonstone on-screen, British thespian Stephen Dillane honestly noted how he felt a lot of the Thrones action was "pretty brutal" and that he "couldn’t watch much of that anyway. It’s hardcore. Too tough for (him)… It’s just too painful."
The entire world he was part of during the making of the show was also described as being "pretty overwhelming" by the star. And while he would quickly add that it was an "extraordinary thing" and an "amazing phenomenon", Dillane wasn't afraid to admit that "money" was the main thing he got out of the massive global television hit.
It does seem like the star did at least very much enjoy his time on set with the likes of Liam Cunningham and Carice van Houten. This brutally honest actor simply didn't get much professional or personal satisfaction out of playing the bloke who burned his own daughter alive.
He'd even admit that he didn't blame certain fans for choosing to stop watching the show after that horrendous act.
