I’m worried that this guy might get typcasted as a “villain”…
Barstool Sports – Page Six- “Game of Thrones” fans love to loathe sadistic character Ramsay Bolton. But the actor who portrays him, Iwan Rheon, has found an even more evil role — as Adolf Hitler, in the same comedy for which actor Joseph Fiennes was slammed this week for his portrayal of Michael Jackson. A trailer for UK movie “Urban Myths” shows Rheon playing the Nazi leader as a hapless artist. His henchman is played by “Harry Potter” star Rupert Grint.
You have to hand it to Ramsay Bolton. When your biggest assets are an extremely punchable face and impeccably playing one of the biggest motherfuckers in TV history, you gotta strike while the iron is hot. And there is no better role to keep the momentum than playing one of, if not THE biggest motherfuckers in the history of the world. All that torture and murder and dick slicing is paying off in a big way for our boy Ramsay. You know what every story has? A villain. And Iwan Rheon’s resume has two fucking BULLETS in it for villain roles. Not quite Alan Rickman playing Hans Gruber and the Sheriff of Nottingham in a four year period, but close. And how about going from Harry Potter’s sidekick to Hitler’s sidekick? Complete 180. That ginger must have serious range.
Oh yeah and what a save by “Urban Myths” here. Going from pissing off a bunch of people by having a white guy play a freakshow Michael Jackson to Ramsay Bolton playing Hitler is about the safest follow up move someone can have. Because anyone that thinks this wasn’t an A++++ casting decision clearly has not watched the last few seasons of Thrones.
