‘Game Of Thrones’ Fans Need To ‘Get A F—ing Life,’ Says Ian McShane

Last season, Ian McShane appeared in one episode of Game of Thrones, playing the character of Brother Ray, and since that time, McShane has become ingratiated to fans of the series, overshadowing much of the actor’s more prominent work in other projects. When he filmed the episode McShane, who will next appear in Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, shared a little too much about his Game of Thrones appearance, only to have received a tidal wave of backlash over the spoiler. Mr. McShane now opens up about playing that role and about his response to the criticism he received at the hands of the Game of Thrones fandom.
