I want to see how many people were online at that exact moment.

- joedoone: Did Alexander Skarsgard really keep an officer-like distance from the actors playing the other ranks during the making of the series? If so, I hope you gave him a bit of stick about it.
- JR: Haha ... I love this one. Yes, he kept his distance from us, but for two reasons that aren't as highbrow as they're made out to be. The first being that the shoot itself was really intense, six-day work weeks with a lot of coverage, and Alex was in almost all of the scenes. So we would shoot all day, from dawn until dusk, and he would go back to his hotel to prepare for the scenes the following day. This was because Alex has a Swedish accent and he wanted it to be as authentic as possible. The other reason he quarantined himself from the rest of us was because when he did go out, he was the wildest party animal I have ever seen. The two occasions we went out, Alex sang the Swedish football anthem and tried to fight an entire town. After that I was like, "Yeah dude, I get why you won't hang out with us, if you get killed or go to an African prison, the producers are gonna be pissed."
So is Peter Jackson gong to find a way to get you into “The Hobbit?”
I doubt it. It’s a very different cast, but Ian McKellen is still playing Gandalf, isn’t he? It’ll be very interesting to see what this is like. Was Boromir alive at that time?
Well,…
TVGuide.com asked the stars of Game of Thrones to weigh in on two very important Westerosi subjects:
1. What personal sigil would best represent you?
2. If you ascended to the Iron Throne in modern times, what would your first ruling as king or queen be?Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon, aka “The Usurper”
Sigil: It would be a gryphon, a creature with the body of a lion and a head of an eagle. I don’t know why, but to be attacked by one of those would be pretty horrible.
First ruling: Free beer for everyone. Absolutely!Sean Bean as Lord Eddard “Ned” Stark, aka “The Hand”
Sigil: Two crossed swords because it represents my football team, Sheffield United. That’s their badge. The team has been relegated, by the way.
First ruling: Sheffield United gets promoted next season.Lena Headey as Queen Cersei Lannister, aka “Blonde Ambition”
Sigil: A big wooden sailing ship with a busty maiden shouting, “Ahoy, mate!!”
First ruling: Everyone has a limitless shopping day where they can go wherever they want, buy whatever they want, and no one asks if you want store credit.Nicolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister, aka “The Kingslayer”
Sigil: A pint of milk.
First ruling: Fawlty Towers marathon on all networksKit Harington as Jon Snow, aka “The Bastard”
Sigil: I immediately thought of one but it’s not very cool. I’m a Capricorn. A Capricorn is a mountain goat isn’t it? So I think that I’m a goat. I don’t know, but it feels like it should be a wolf now honestly after doing this show. God knows what it was before, but now it’s a wolf.
First ruling: I don’t know. My mother would probably choose!Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark, aka “The Lost Stark”
Sigil: I wouldn’t have a wolf because I’m not that strong, I’m not that powerful. I’d maybe have a ballerina because ballerinas have such grace and they also have strength within them, so that’s probably me. I’m much stronger than Sansa is at the start but also I’m kind, caring I suppose. I’m Grade 7 ballet at the moment.
First ruling: No homework!Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, aka “Boy”
Sigil: A turtle because they can go on land, they can go in sea. They’re my favorite animal. They’re really cute and they can grow up really big. They’ve got different types of turtles, there’s snapping turtles and really cute ones, like, tiny ones. There’s a good variety of them, and you never get bored.
First ruling: I would ban school uniforms for everyone, all over the world. They’re so frustrating. At our school we have a thing called summer uniforms, and you’re not allowed to take your jumper off when you’re outside so you get really, really hot and our school uniform is black, so it’s horrible. If you ban school uniforms then everyone could wear what they wanted to wear and you wouldn’t get hot.Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo, aka “My Sun and Stars”
Sigil: A lion. It’s the king of the jungle. Have you ever seen a lion up close? Drogo walking with a gigantic lion. It’s pretty rad.
First ruling: Free beer and free sex for everyone — free love that is. Back to the ’60s, man. And no clothes … except for Mark Addy!Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, aka “Moon of My Life”
Sigil: I would be an element — water. Because as an actor you have to be changeable and water can be so many different things. Deep, like water. (laughs) We could go on for hours. The metaphor just keeps on going!
First ruling: There will be music playing in the streets, joyful, happy music. Reggae!Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen, aka “The Dragon”
Sigil: I would love to say dragon because they are clearly the best sigil in Game of Thrones. But for me it would probably be something small and nocturnal. A bat? Dunno why.
First ruling: A two-week house party in Buckingham Palace.George R.R. Martin, author, aka “A Cruel and Savage God”
Sigil: Probably something like a quill pen for a writer or something like that would be appropriate. But way back in the 1980s, I won the Hugo Award which is the biggest award for science fiction fantasy and it’s shaped like a silver rocketship. I won two of them in a single year which no one had ever done before. And so for a while, my now wife, then my girlfriend, Paris, would make me these sigils of two crossed Hugos instead of crossed swords.
First ruling: Everybody has to get HBO.I THINK THIS IS WONDERFUL BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE ‘BEST CAST’ AND THAT IS THE CAST OF LORD OF THE RINGS.
ONE CAST TO RULE THEM ALL, ONE CAST TO FIND THEM. ONE CAST TO BRING THEM ALL IN AND IN THE DARKNESS BIND THEM.
