Tortuga and Ramsay Bolton want you to know their both nice guys in real life.
Actors Iwan Rheon and Danny Trejo, who’ve taken on villainous roles in hit TV shows such as Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, appeared in a funny video for the charity event Red Nose Day. The two both made fun of how they’re perceived in real life, and want the audience to know they’re actually good guys unlike the monsters they’ve played on TV.
In the video, Trejo shows up to the charity event and says he wants to help. A terrified producer tells him he doesn’t need him to threaten anyone to gain money, while Trejo pleads that he’s just an entertainer. Trejo looks into a mirror and sings a song about how everyone assumes he’s a crook.
“When I try to lend a hand, people lose their temper,” sings a gutted Trejo. “I’m no monster, because I’m nicer than Elle Kemper.“
Rheon shows up midway through the video and appears to be doing some non-evil gardening.
“On TV, I play the guy who’s the craziest of crazy. I spend all of my real life, baking cakes and planting daisies, sings Rheon in a garden.” I may be the worst, in the world of Game of Thrones, but my world is full of Chrysanthemums, not a pile of blood and bones.”
The duo continue to sing and are joined by fellow typecasted actor Steve Buscemi, as they croon about how they want people to be nice to them and not judge them by the characters the play on TV. It’s a funny and entertaining skit about how our favorite/hated villains are real people too. It’s well done. I’ve gained respect for the actors and will not judge them, even if they play some real evil dudes.
