Liam Cunningham is having a royal old time living the dream on Game of Thrones
He’s been cooped up in a dank dungeon, had fingertips lopped by his boss and has tangled with a sinister sorceress but Davos Seaworth is living the dream. Or at least his alter ego Liam Cunningham is.
The Irish actor has reached a worldwide audience playing characters who are often moody, dour or downtrodden — if not downright nasty — but it’s all good in his view. You might remember him as the forbidding Mossie Sheehan in the adaptation of Deirdre Purcell’s Falling for a Dancer. Or as the drug smuggler in The Guard. But right now he’s Davos Seaworth, or The Onion Knight, to millions of Game of Thrones fans.
