Many fans have still not gotten over the change, and have been holding out hope that Conan will return to play Ser Gregor in Season 4
Recently, I had the pleasure of talking to Conan about his role as Ser Gregor, his future, and what it’s been like to climb the ladder of success. Here’s what the stunt actor, MENSA member and former chess champion had to say.
MJ Snow - As you know, the rumors are flying regarding whether or not you’ll reprise your role as Ser Gregor Clegane in Season 4 of Game of Thrones, however in a recent blog post, you mentioned that you’d not been contacted by HBO about returning to the series. Is there still hope? Would you still be open to donning the armor again, if the opportunity should arise?
Conan Stevens – I’m not sure where Game of Thrones production are at the moment but I am pretty sure if there had been a plan of that sort that I would have been informed quite some time ago, so the answer would be, that barring some unforeseen occurrence, I won’t be back for Season 04.
As to me being open… let’s just say the upcoming scene, if it is indeed portrayed in the TV series, was the scene that I was most looking forward to when I originally read the books. It is the best acting scene for Gregor in the books to date, the most dialogue, and a strong chance to show who Gregor really is, and by that stage Gregor really has a reputation to live up to. As an actor it would be a huge challenge living up to the books portrayal of scene and the well read fans expectations.
