Game Of Thrones Character I loved it, Dormer says of Beric Dondarrion s demise in the monster HBO series. The actor also gives us a detailed look at his new fantasy character, Sam Vimes from Terry Pratchett s
Discworld novels.
The Watch star Richard Dormer grew up reading the work of author Terry Pratchett, whose
Discworld books form the basis for the series. Although, as he told Rotten Tomatoes during a recent interview, his regular diet was interrupted, ironically enough, just after the first City Watch novel,
Guards! Guards!, was released.
“I went to drama school, I was about 17, and I gave the book to a classmate and I never got to find out about Sam Vimes,” he said.
