One Game of Thrones
Iain Glen, who has played Ser Jorah Mormont since the show began in 2011, teased his character's storyline in a new interview with Stuff - and it seems like he may make it through the penultimate season alive and well.
He said: “I’ve always enjoyed playing Jorah. It’s been a role that’s been good to me so far.”
“There’s quite a high death count in Game of Thrones and they don’t blanch at removing favourite characters. They just get rid of them in a brutal way. My end may well be close but so far I’m doing OK.”
