Stephen Dillane was one of those marvelously received performances as Stannis Baratheon in Game of Thrones, while he does argue he accepted the role out of much-needed finance. He confessed that he found himself not being able to connect with the rather intricate storyline of the show often being lost when filming was going on. Fans applauded his stoic performance, while Dillane's separation from this project demonstrates how even acclaimed actors sometimes treat these roles as mere jobs rather than by passion.
