Staying in the North, Season 5 saw us bid goodbye and congratulations to Maester Aemon. On one hand he sadly died in the show, but on the other he's quite possibly the only Thrones character to die of natural causes. An achievement in itself. Peter Vaughan, the actor behind the wise old man, is also partially blind, and that trait flowed into Aemon's storyline, though his condition clearly hasn't hindered his ability to land roles. Long before his Thrones spell, he told Shropshire Magazine: "as long as youre fit and healthy to carry on, and the offers come in, you just keep on going."
