Roy Dotrice was born on the Island of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands … Read Full Bio ↴Roy Dotrice was born on the Island of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands off the coast of France and part of the United Kingdom. He was the first child of Louis and Neva Dotrice who were well respected, quality bakers. But when the Germans occupied the island in 1940, Roy, his mother and brother escaped to England. Here, in 1942 at age 16, Roy joined the Royal Air Force and was trained as a wireless operator and air gunner. He was soon flying missions, bombing enemy territory until his plane was shot down. Captured and taken prisoner, Roy spent the rest of the war as a P.O.W., where his first taste for the theater took root, performing concerts to raise the spirits of his fellow inmates.
At the end of the war, Roy decided to follow his instincts and pursue an acting career. It was at this time Roy met and married actress Kay Newman, and for the next three and half years, they acted in repertory with Charles Denville and the Denville Players. During this time, Roy also produced and directed some three hundred plays, with a new one being performed each week.
In 1957, Roy joined the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford, England, (later to become the Royal Shakespeare Company), and for the next nine years performed in all of Shakespeare's plays while working with the world's greatest actors and directors. Interestingly enough, Roy considers his greatest achievement was to introduce baseball into what had been a cricket stronghold, and in 1959 he pitched for his team that included at first base, Paul Robeson (Othello); second base, Sam Wanamaker (Iago); third base, Laurence Olivier (Coriolanus), short stop, Peter O'Toole (Shylock); Charles Laughton (Lear) plate umpire and Albert Finney his catcher.
The training he received was to lead him into radio, film, television, and a multitude of wonderful theater productions staged throughout the world. Roy has appeared in ten Broadway productions and received a Tony nomination for his work in A Life, and on June 4, 2000 received a Tony award for his outstanding performance in A Moon for the Misbegotten.

"They killed Lord Eddard and Lady Catelyn and King Robb. He was our king! He was brave and good...and the Freys murdered him! If King Stannis will avenge him we should join him. A thousand years before the conquest, a promise was made and oaths were sworn in the Wolfs den before the old gods and the new. When we were sore beset and friendless, hounded from our homes and in peril of our lives the wolves took us in and nourished us and protected us from our enemies. The city is built upon the land they gave us. In return we promised we would always be their men. Stark men!"

In Game of Thrones the words "The North Remembers" are meaningless, the North turned their back when Sansa Stark needed help. In ASoIaF, however, the northmen remembers their vows and want to rescue "Arya" from the Boltons even if that will get them killed. That's GRRM saying: "If you're noble, you may die early, but your legacy will remain", in the show they call Ned and Robb "dumb". Fuck D&D.

I think Robb and Ned both did stupid things. They played too closely to the rules and didn't learn the tact and it got them killed, when they could have been more honorable by not trying so hard. Letting Cersei know his plans and refusing help from Renly turned the nation to civil war. Whereas Robb's decision so marry Jeyne got him killed. There were obv more factors (Sansa for telling Cersei herself, and Edmure holding the ford giving Tywin time to smash Stannis) but ultimately they're over valuing of honor got them and many other killed.

Okay let’s be honest here Robb and ned are considered dumb for opposite reasons. Ned was too honorable to play the game of thrones right he tried to be the hero of who was fair when he gave Cersei time to act by warning her to leave and on top of that but he underestimated the loyalty of those he called allies. Robb is dumb because he let his heart do his thinking far too often first with marrying a foreigner instead of Walden Frey’s daughter despite giving his word, sending Theon to his home with news of northern weakness then executing Lord Karstark crippling their army and driving the final nails in the coffin for the red wedding

"its thanks to Ned that the world was rid of such evil." My point exactly.
"Or maybe if Aerys didn't kill Brandon Stark he would've married Cat and Robb would never have been born, so is it thanks to the mad king that the world was rid of such evil?"
Yes, these 'bad things that happened forced a boiling point, and forced people to act to get rid of such evil.
Yes, you can use that logic on all these because it's true.
Mugen Spiegal
@Faisal T. You could use that logic on literally anything. If Ned hadn't gotten killed then Robb would never have marched south and made the deal with the Freys in the first place, so its thanks to Ned that the world was rid of such evil.
Or maybe if Aerys didn't kill Brandon Stark he would've married Cat and Robb would never have been born, so is it thanks to the mad king that the world was rid of such evil?
Or Maybe it was thanks to Jahaerys II dying at a young age allowing Aerys to ascend to the throne, who then killed Brandon, leading to Ned marrying Cat, Robb being born, Ned dying, Robb marching south, Robb dying etc.
Can you see how your logic doesn't work here.

@Mugen Spiegal If Robb had kept his word to Walder, the world would have had to live with the festering rot and the 'lesser evil' i.e. sustainable evil of Walder Frey. By getting himself killed, he set in motion a chain of events that will lead to a boil-over and bring about the demise of the Freys. Ridding the world of such evil.

The moment we found that Davos was still alive. Still the happiest part of the whole book.
