Game of Thrones - Season 2 - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Interview

Share on Reddit

Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.

1. You are a well-known actor from Denmark and you made movies and TV in the U.S.. How did your first job in the U.S. come about?

My first US movie was "Black Hawk Down" and a friend helped me put myself on tape up on the attic over my apartment in Copenhagen. We shipped it out and I got lucky.

2. Your part in "Nightwatch" was your breakthrough. How did it feel to become so popular over night?

It was a strange moment in my life. But I didnt realise how 'known' I was in Denmark 'till years later. I was too focused on learning my craft to pay attention to that part of the equation. I didn't have a point of reference, it was my first job so apparently thats how it was. Later I found out that the great shows are rare. Now I know and makes me even more grateful to be part of "Game of Thrones".

3. Jaime Lannister on "Game of Thrones" season 1 is a charming yet ruthless character. What do you personally think about him?

What's not to like about Jaime? As an actor I couldn't ask for a better role.

4. Jaime Lannister had many explosive and enthralling scenes in the first season. How did you approach these scenes with Lena Headey, Sean Bean and Michelle Fairley?

When you work with great actors and great writing like we do on GOT you really try to enjoy, react and not let your instinct to act get in the way of the scene.
