10 TV Show Mistakes Directors Left In Because The Acting Was Too Good

Trying to improvise some dialogue in your own language isn't always the easiest thing in the world, even for the most experienced actors out there. So, you can only imagine how difficult trying to string words together in a fictional language must be.

Iain Glen knows precisely how tough letting loose a couple of foreign words without any real preparation beforehand is, having to do exactly that when tasked with delivering some of the final bits of Dothraki to appear in Season Two of Game of Thrones.

With the star and folks shooting the episode requesting an accurate translation of the words "take all the gold and jewels," the fact that this Dothraki translation didn't arrive in time for shooting led to Glen having to make something up on the spot.

What Glen produced on the day may not have been 100% accurate Dothraki, but the fact that Jorah Mormont wasn't a native Dothraki meant that language creator David J Peterson was able to find a way to bend the rules, in order to make sense of the character's choice of words.

Simply put, Glen's Dothraki improv may not have been absolutely perfect, but it was still delivered with a level of conviction and believability that made it just about possible to squeeze into the Dothraki language.
