"Game of Thrones" English actor Jacob Basil Anderson, who plays as Grey Worm in the huge HBO hit, confessed that he does not mind and will not be disappointed just in case the writers decide to kill his character off.
Grey Worm is the daunting leader of the Unsullied army. His skills as a warrior are a forced to be reckoned with, since he is notably the personal protector of the show's majestic dragon tamer, Daenerys Targaryen.
This statement was made by the British supporting actor due to the incredibly unpredictable twists and curveballs of the show, where they randomly kill characters who are deemed significant, which started when Ned Stark was decapitated on the first season.
Anderson admits that he will not act surprised just in case the show decides to finish him off. The actor has no idea what his fate will be at this point, and has not read any of the scripts for the next season, The Sun quoted him as saying.
Although this defeatist position may seem like an apathetic gesture or a pessimistic outlook in the show, Anderson still shows gratitude that the scriptwriters have not killed him yet. He states that there is honor in making it alive at this point of the show.
At the same time, he said that he would not bear hard feelings if they do very soon. He also added that "Game of Thrones" is definitely the best show to die on if you want your character to have a tragic fate, since everyone in the show who's considered an important character gets a good and memorable death.
In actuality, Anderson's character is not an important figure in the books, but the role in the TV series has been beefed up for the sake of the romantic plot with Missandei. But Grey Worm's death could still spell a surprise to the fans despite its foreseeable possibility, according to The Vanity Fair.
Outside the show, Anderson is also a singer, and some of his music have been used in television advertisements. He released an album on February this year, entitled "You're a Man Now, Boy."
To lighten up the mood, here is a funny scene between Tyrion Lannister, Missandei, and Grey Worm.
