How did you come to take over the role?I dont really know why they cast me.
After that, [showrunners David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss] asked if Id play the Night King for seasons 6 through 8.
Furdik as a White Walker in “Hardhome”.HBO
I never asked why.
Maybe they were happy with what I did in season 5.
What sort of acting directions do you get for playing the Night King?
He doesnt blink much, Ive noticed.Every director has a different vision of how to play him.
Yes, many times they ask me dont have a go at blink your eyes.
This is very difficult.
What does the Night King want, anyway?Somebody made him the Night King.
Nobody knows who he was before a soldier or part of [nobility].
He never wanted to be the Night King.
I think he wants revenge.
Everybody in this story has two sides a bad side and a good side.
The Night King only has one side, a bad side.
Do fans recognize you?
What are their reactions?Not often.
Many people ask me: Can you yo kill Jon Snow?
Sometimes I watch YouTube reactions after the season airs.
Fifty percent of people love the Night King and 50 percent of people hate him.
And since I replaced Richard Brake, some people like how I play him and some dont.
Do you have an all-time favorite Night King scene?Thats still coming.
