Jon Snow could not kill Night King because he was busy following a combat training

There are many theories about the real identity of the king of the night. The fact that Game of Thrones ended without a plausible explanation of his motives or his origins was a source of frustration for many fans. Although we do not know much why the most dangerous villain of GoT was determined to kill all living things, we know the man who portrayed this inhuman being perfectly.

The last documentary on the production of Game of Thrones entitled The Last Watch discusses various aspects of the production of this HBO production. One of the most interesting elements is that of the Czech actor Vladimír Furdík, who went from the role of stunt choreographer to that of one of the main villains of the series.

Until season 5, Furdík's job was to teach characters like Jon Snow and The Mountain, some of the fiercest fighters in the series, to lock the swords in perfect coordination. For a show that included a considerable number of man-to-man combat scenes, Furdík's role behind the scenes was extremely important.

It's this work behind the scenes that brought him in front of the camera. Well, in a certain way. The real face of Furdík is never seen in the show, it is covered with makeup and prosthetics. Part of the reason why the role without dialogue has aroused enormous curiosity among fans of GoT .
"As a stuntman, the filmmakers often asked me if I wanted to play small roles, and until season 5, no one knew how important that role was." He grew up little by little, people started talking about the Night King of season 6. Nobody knew how that character was going to grow, now we do it, "Furdík told Variety.

How did he play this role? It was easy, says Furdík. "I picked up the phone, someone said:" Hey Vlad, do you want to be the king of the night, "and I said:" I'm not sure. Yes! They asked me if I wanted to be the king of the night because they liked my performance in Season 5 while I was fighting with Jon Snow and that he I killed at the cottage.After this episode, they asked me if I wanted to play the role of season 6 and I said, yes, why not. "

The King of the night was previously played by Welsh actor Richard Brake in seasons four and five.

Furdík also explained how Miguel Sapochnik, who directed the fight scenes in GoT had helped him in his acting work. "Because I was not an actor, he gave me a lesson on how to play, and then my homework consisted of going to the hotel and crying in front of the mirror."

The shooting scene of Shooting the Night King was the most difficult day. in the life of Furdík. "This moment with Arya when I caught her and Maisie's emotions were so strong that I had the impression of spending all my energy that day," he said.
