Dillane is famous for portraying Stannis Baratheon in Game of Thrones. After season 5 of Game of Thrones, he said in an interview that he did not enjoy the show, and took the job only due to the money. Many fans of the show however interpreted this sentiment as a perfectly "Stannis thing to do", because Dillanes character, Stannis, gets involved in the wars and politics shown in the Game of Thrones despite not liking it.
