'Game of Thrones' Actor on That Thrilling Episode

— -- So, big, big things went down last night on "Game of Thrones," but if you haven't yet seen the episode, you may want to stop reading...like now.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Last chance!

Ok, "Battle of the Bast---s" ended with Jon Snow being saved by Sansa and her deal with Petyr Baelish and the knights of Vale. Snow takes back Winterfell and then imprisons Ramsay Bolton.

But, Sansa has other plans and lets Bolton's own hounds into his cell to attack and eat him. (#fitting)

Despite the vile things Ramsay has done, the actor who plays him, Iwan Rheon, is actually a delightful guy. He spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his character's death.

Rheon said he got a call from the show runners, who joked on the phone, "'Isn’t it great Ramsay ends up on the Iron Throne?' As soon as they said that, I said, 'He’s dead isn’t he?'"

The actor added, "It’s cool. I’ve had four lovely seasons here. It’s been great to be involved with such an amazing show. I think it’s kind of right he goes down. Because what else is he going to do after this? He’s done so many things. It’s justified and it’s the right thing to do. It’s the right path. He’s reached his peak. It’s nice for the audience that he goes out on this high, if you will."

Rheon is actually happy the victory for Jon Snow happened the way it did -- in surprising fashion at the very end.

"Jon Snow needs to win because otherwise there’s no hope left in the world. But it is interesting that it isn’t fair. And afterward, Ramsay still thinks he’s won. He’s so arrogant and self assured he thinks he’ll still be fine -- until the last minute. He always thinks he’s going to be okay," he continued. "I feel really lucky he got a proper send-off. And it’s a gruesome death. It’s so ironic. He’s been banging on about those hounds all this time."

What Rheon will miss most is "coming here and seeing everyone and getting down and doing it. And I’ll miss when you pick up a script and read it and there’s always one scene in every season where I go, 'Thank you so much, thank you, this is such a beauty.'"
