I haven't read the books because some book nazis are crazy due to the fact that a lot of things didn't appear in the books or didn't appear in the story the right way.
I downloaded the books as an epub, but haven't read any of them yet. I don't want it to spoil how they plan on ending everything.
I have read a few articles about some of the characters, the wrap party, that sort of thing and I have seen many of the characters show up in other projects.
The movie/true story about Hervé Villechaize that Tyrion Lannister did called 'My Dinner with Herve' was actually pretty good about the little person from Fantasy Island.
I just binge-watched the series 'Widow' on Amazon Prime and his father was in that, Tywin Lannister.
Much of the films that Daenerys Targaryen played in were just awful (like one of the Terminator films), as well as the stuff Jon Snow has done (Pompeii). OMG, just awful.
