He plays, of course, Jamie lannister and at the end of season five he was in a bit of a tough spot and now things are getting heated when he returns to the capital and confronts the high sparrow. Here's a sneak peek. I broke a sacred oath and stabbed my king in the back. I killed my own cousin. When the guards judged my brother guilty I helped him escape that justice. What atonement do I deserve? You would spill blood in this holy place. Oh, yes, you would. I believe it, at least. Yes. So let's do a recap for people catching up.

You don't know what your code name is. Well, no, no -- well, I was still Jamie. Jamie is just Jamie but all characters were like big secrets that would appear but also they did that thing with the call sheet you get out every day where it says where people are supposed to be. They use code names and Numbers there but they forgot to tell everybody about it so it became very complicated. Complicated once again. How would you want Jamie lannister to die?
