‘Game Of Thrones’: Iain Glen Talks Jorah Mormont & His Character’s Lifespan

The hopeless romantic, Ser Jorah Mormont, might not have much longer to live should Iain Glen’s comments ring true. The actor who portrays the character on Game of Thrones, made a remark hinting at Jorah’s imminent death on the HBO series.

“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 favorite characters. They just get rid of them in a brutal way. My end may well be close but so far I’m doing okay.”

While by no means a fan-favorite Game of Thrones character, Ser Jorah has been a standby since the very beginning. We’ve watched him try to win Daenerys over without success for 6 seasons now, and it seems he’ll never get her favor. Glen then spoke about similarities and differences between himself and the character as described in the books.

“I don’t think I bear any physical resemblance whatsoever to the character that George R.R. Martin described in the books on which the series is based. I think he was a very dark-haired, wiry man with an ugly face–I’m not saying I don’t have an ugly face–and I think quite short and stocky […] But they probably thought it would be good if you could see why [Jorah and Daenerys] might get it together. If you had an ugly stump of a man who had no chance whatsoever and was fairly repellent then it would be harder for them to tell that story.”

Makes sense they made the Game of Thrones character a little more attractive, but his relationship with Daenerys won’t happen either way.
