‘Game Of Thrones’ Actor Conleth Hill Admits, “The Last Couple Seasons Weren’t My Favorite”
Conleth Hill, who played the eunuch Lord Varys on all eight seasons of HBO‘s “Game of Thrones‘ series, is opening up on why the last seasons of the series drew complaints.
The reason for the disgruntled fan reactions, Hill said in a Times UK interview, was that HBO and the series showrunners were not on the alike page.
The disagreements between HBO and showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss in the concluding season, which went beyond the George R.R. Martin provider material, led to confusing plot developments, Hill said.
“Right up until the last two series, I had no complaints at all,” Hill told The Times. “I just felt frustrated with the last couple of [seasons] because Varys wasn’t the all-knowing nature he had been. I think the writers wanted to do one thing to end it and the studio HBO wanted to do another. I felt that last [season] was a bit rushed. I was inconsolable, but now I’m satisfactory about it.”
Lord Varys was executed in the series for backing Jon Snow over Daenerys Targarye

"We took this this season. I can’t remember what we were there for, whether it was a photo discharge or a costume thing, but it struck all of us that it was so exceptional that this many people were in one place at one time. So we were love, “Right. We call a family photo.” This is obviously just a snippet of people who were on Thrones. I’d love to get a huge group of everyone who was on Thrones in one big photo. This is just what we ended up with, kind of the core collective of us, minus for some reason Lena [Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister]. I don’t grasp why she’s not there. But it’s a really joyful photo.
I think of diving into the middle of it, trying to be center. The photo cuts a bit through all the shiny little faces we have to pull on urge tours, and the people we are when we’re all dolled up for a premiere or a talk reveal or what possess you. When we get on position together, a team like this, we’re fucking goofy and we play around. And I ponder you can explain from this photo how much everyone loves each other."

Conleth Hill: ‘We went to Comic Con every year, while Game of Thrones was on. That’s when you felt like a Beatle’
From Cillian Murphy to Nathan Lane, Antrim actor Conleth Hill has worked with some of the biggest stars of stage and screen in his 40-year career. And that’s before we get to Game of Thrones... Now, as he prepares to play King Lear at Dublin’s Gate theatre, he says he’s never had a game plan
“It was good the word ‘Lear’ didn’t trigger you. You must have had a good English teacher,” actor Conleth Hill says when we connect to talk about his upcoming Shakespeare role at the Gate. But before Hill is allowed reminisce about early days in the theatre, recall tales about his ‘Beatles moment’ during Game of Thrones or his brilliant Derry Girls cameo, we had to talk about Ballycastle.
The 60-year-old was born and raised in the small town on the North coast of Antrim. It is where he still hangs his hat. “I have never lived anywhere else, apart from when I’m working,” he says, “as you can’t really commute from Broadway to Ballycastle.”
