Here's Why 'Game of Thrones' Finale Was Skipped By Dean-Charles Chapman

Actor Dean-Charles Chapman is currently all set and rolling for his character in the upcoming film, 1917 for which he is obviously excited. However, his claim to fame was his role in Game of Thrones, where he played Tommen Baratheon. Thrones is infamous for the many deaths that it has showcased and, Chapman's Tommen also had a rather dramatic moment and a jaw-dropping death back in Season 6 finale.

The mega fantasy saga ended this year and the premiere of the show saw pretty much all the cast members from all seasons coming in, where Chapman was one of the few ones who was missed. In fact, when quizzed about watching the show lately, Chapman even mentioned he lost interest in watching it after his character was killed off.

Like the rest of the “Game of Thrones” cast, Chapman has had his fair share of memorable fan encounters like one who wanted to engage in fisticuffs after recognizing him as the youngest Baratheon. 

Chapman recalls, “He was like, ‘I really hate you. I want to punch you in the face’” And my mates were like, ‘Whoa whoa whoa.'” 

In 1917, Chapman plays Blake, one of two soldiers the other, Schofield, played by George MacKay — tasked with delivering a message to 1,600 British soldiers at the height of the First World War. The film also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden, Andrew Scott, and Colin Firth.
