“Game of Thrones” Facts that Have Been Unearthed Since the Series Finale

Roy Dotrice as Hallyne

HBO/Warner Bros. Television

The late Roy Dotrice, who memorably performed the audiobooks for Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series with different voices for every single character, was supposed to play Grand Maester Pycelle on “Game of Thrones,” but he had to pull out of the project due to health problems. Julian Glover stepped in to play Pycelle, but Dotrice did eventually make it on the show as the pyromancer Hallyne, who provides Tyrion with the wildfire he uses to destroy Stannis’s fleet at the Battle of the Blackwater.
