NEW YORK — Oh, how special it must feel to land a role on a new pilot for HBO — or better yet, get a call saying you’ve got the part on the show that has become a pop culture phenomenon — only to know that you character could be killed off.
On “Game of Thrones” — which premieres its final season Sunday on HBO — death is a hot and recurring topic.
Sibel Kekilli, whose character Shae died in season four, said she hoped the writers would keep her on the series instead of following the story line from the book.
Kerry Ingram, who now stars in the Emmy-winning Netflix children series “Free Rein,” played Shireen Baratheon on “Thrones.” The 19-year-old said she learned so much as an actress from being on the show.
