Game of Thrones - Season 2 - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Interview

30 Mar 2012

Share on Reddit
Thanks to andiminga for the heads up.

Fire and Blood: Hi, Nikolaj! Thanks for taking the time to talk to Winter Is Coming!

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau: My pleasure. And thank you for keeping me up to date on the latest trailers, info, casting etc.

FaB: It’s what we do! Glad to know you’re one of our readers! [More proof of this later, Gatewatch faithful!] First, most importantly, how is your family?

NCW: Family is great, thank you for asking.

FaB: When it was first announced that you would play Jaime Lannister, I was extremely excited, because I had seen your performance in Virtuality, and absolutely loved it. I was shocked that wasn’t turned into a regular series. What happened? Was this just a case of FOX being FOX? Too quick to hit the “eject” button, so to speak?

NCW: Virtuality would have been perfect on a cable network. I know for a fact that Fox really wanted to make it work but it just wasn’t to be. I am aware of all the ‘Fox being Fox’ theories, but my experience with those guys are that they are passionate about making television. At the end of the day if they dont believe in the show they have to let it go… I was very proud to be a part of Virtuality and I too think it could have been a great show, but such is life.

FaB: Of course I’m thrilled we got you for Game of Thrones! But even then I was concerned, since I knew that Jaime practically disappears for all of book 2. I thought, Why would a guy this talented agree to take a year off? Needless to say, they’re not leaving you out of the story at all, and it looks like they’ve even added special stuff just for you. Was there ever a point where they discussed leaving you out of season 2?

NCW: If they did discuss leaving me out then they never told me about it. Way back, when we first met I was told that in season 2, if ever we got there, I would only work in 2 eps so I knew in advance. As it turned out it is a little more than that, and the scenes I have were just brilliant, one scene in particular. I wish I could tell you about it… because in a weird cryptic way it relates to you guys! :-)

    Really interested in what happens in episode 7 now considering it's his favorite scene he's ever shot.

    I can imagine they bring an important scene from Book Three into this season. Cause in A Clash of Kings, he wasn't really featured that much. Or they included a new scene for the series.

    Nikolaj is always so pleasant. I´m so happy that they made space for him ín season 2. It would be a big loss for the series if he wasn´t around.

    Just think, he would have almost no role in this season if not for added scenes and tweaked storylines! This is definitively one of those times I'm glad D&D do not follow the books exclusively!!

    Yeah, that´s an awful thought. I´m glad they soor the talent and added a storyline for him. I think Nikolaj made Jaime a much more full character with both good and bad sides. I love Jaime in the books, but I like how Nikolaj portrays him even more. That can be said about a few more from the fantasic cast. 
    And ofcourse there is also a few of them you like better in the books.

    I like Jaime´s book three story. I´m excited to see how far into book 3 they will go.
