Game of Thronesactor has regrets: 'I didn't know what I was doing'

Game of Thronesactor Stephen Dillane is expressing some regrets about his character’s doomed tour of duty in Westeros.

He invests in it in a way I think is quite moving, but it wasn’t my experience.

The damage had been done.

I thought no one would believe in me and I was rather disheartened by the end.

I felt I’d built the castle on non-existent foundations."

We think Dillane is being too hard on himself here.

While some fans wanted Stannis to be a bit more like the version of the character in George R.R.

And actually, Dillane holding himself to such a high standard and beating himself up sounds so… Stannis-ian.

It’s almost like the actor is engaging in some kind of meta performance art.

You half expect him to correct his own grammar too.

Meanwhile, Dillane is keeping quite busy.

He’s starring in the World War II dramaDarkest Hourhitting theaters Dec. 22.

And he’s also starring in the ongoing British-French crime drama calledTheTunnel.
