Iwan Rheon

IWAN RHEON: THE RAMPANT RAMSAY

Words MICHELLE GANNEY

He plays one of the most terrifying characters on TV. He stabbed his own father in the heart, he fed his neonate brother to the wolves and he raped his wife. If that wasn’t quite enough, he then forced his hostage/slave to view him while raping his wife. I mean, it’s unharmed to say he’s kind of the worst.

So where execute you begin in talking to a man who plays such a character? Well, it turns out Iwan Rheon, who play the infamous Ramsay Bolton on HBO’s Game Of Thrones, is a very down to earth and normal guy. Who would have thought!

I have to state, I was very excited to be speaking with someone who is genuinely known as the most hated traits on TV. No? Okay, it might be a tie between him and that little tyrant Joffrey Baratheon (ehem Lannister).

When speaking to Iwan the most endearing thing about him was his humility and his ability to giggle at himself and his crazed personality. The 31-year-old player recently teamed up with Red Nose Day to carry out a funny skit alongside some fellow TV villains, including Danny Trejo and Steve Buscemi. “Yeah yeah, it was really good entertainment. It’s always friendly to do things like that.”

The Cast of Vicious Discusses What Made a Sitcom About Two Old Queens So Special

Vicious, the British-to-PBS sitcom starring Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi as a hilariously bitchy older gay couple, finished up its two-season run in June with a series finale special. The hourlong episode was organized around the four seasons, with each of the characters—the main couple, Violet (Frances de la Tour), Ash (Iwan Rheon), Penelope (Marcia Warren), and Mason (Philip Voss)—receiving a satisfying resolution of one sort or another. As my colleague June Thomas noted in her review, the finale “focused on the love and generosity that Freddie and Stuart … had previously kept hidden under layers and layers of arch putdowns and distinctively gay snark.”

I had the privilege of interviewing the full cast, along with writer Gary Janetti and producer Gary Reich, for PBS on the occasion of the series’ conclusion. We discussed the show’s deceptively radical treatment of queer love and aging, its moving portrait of unlikely friendships, and the dubious situation of having an American like Janetti craft an old-school British sitcom—which included, incidentally, writing a fart joke for some of t
