Game of Thrones Season 3 won’t be available on — possibly fire-breathing special edition — Blu-Ray until February 18, 2014, but that hasn’t kept HBO from sharing a deleted scene between Tywin Lannister and Grand Maester Pycelle where Emmy nominee Charles Dance puts on an acting clinic while catching his own dinner via an elaborate fishing rig.
I can only assume length is the reason this was left on the cutting room floor, which is a shame because it’s A) a master acting class from Dance, B) Tywin calling Pycelle on his sh*t as only Tywin can, and C) a hell of a character study of the head of the Lannisters in juxtaposition to the rest of his family. At least you can enjoy it now. #CharlesDanceIsTheNewNickOfferman
