We will confess that we’re going to miss Ramsay Bolton on our screens. The psychopath was just starting to grow on us.
There have been many, many sadistic and unnerving characters in Game of Thrones from Joffrey to Walder Frey to Craster. But none put us on edge quite as much as Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon).
Capable of coherent thought and intolerable cruelty at the same moment, he was loved and hated by Game of Thrones fans… mostly hated.
Iwan Rheon deserves huge credit for creating a monster so captivating that although his death was welcomed, it was tinged with sadness that we would not see a character of his like again in the hit TV series.
But it seems Rheon has nailed himself a character he will be more than capable of transferring some of his acting skills to when he plays Adolf Hitler in Sky Arts’ tongue-in-cheek comedy series Urban Myths.
Acting alongside Rheon in the series will be none other than Harry Potter’s best friend Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), who will play a close friend of Hitler.
The series will follow stories that have been passed down over time so far that they’ve become myths. But are they true is the question?
Following his closing scene in Battle of the Bastards, where Ramsay met his demise, Rheon was asked was Ramsay worse than Hitler, as reported by the Observer.
“They’d probably be very good friends,” he replied. “The Hitler that I play is way before he was politically motivated or anything, so he’s just a strange young man who really wanted to be an artist as opposed to the monster that we’ve come to know through history. But Ramsay, he gives that Hitler a good run for his money.”
