‘Game of Thrones’ season 4 spoilers: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau on dynamic for Jaime Lannister
What we can tell you about Jaime’s story for next year? He was not left off in as interesting a place this time around, at least in that he back in King’s Landing versus being on the road; but, him being in the same place as his entire family really for the first time in quite a long time should make things rather interesting. Nikolaj agrees, which is why he said the following on the subject in a Reveal.co.uk interview:
“I think for Jaime it will be the fact the Lannister family is together for the first time on the show. That will be very interesting to explore. It’s a very dramatic season and where before you’d have one or two episodes that peak, here there will be a lot of peaks.”
Nikolaj also opens up slightly on what it is like to play a part who so many people have very distinct opinions about, and who has so many different layers:
“Jaime is a great character to play. I like the fact he’s so conflicted and has all these secrets, it’s good writing. He seems like a whole human so there are always things you can identity with. I think most of us dislike when people jump to conclusions about who you are. Sometimes it happens when you’re an actor, as they see you in a part and presume you’re that role. [I sometimes get], ‘Hi Jaime, how’s your sister?!’ That happens for Jaime on a huge scale as he is known as the Kingslayer.”
