Actor Liam Cunningham has done a great interview in which he discusses playing new character Davos Seaworth in the second season of Game of Thrones. Beware of some spoilers.

In the Access Hollywood interview, Cunningham speaks about Davos Seaworth, a new key player who joins the series in its second season. He says:

I try to bring an honesty to the portrayals that I’m doing and Davos Seaworth — he’s famed for his honesty, and famed for his loyalty and he has a decency about him. Davos — he’s kind of a point of view character. He doesn’t actually do that much engaging, I’m told, and so they wrote this person as opposed to just seeing what his thoughts are. They’ve had to do a lot of writing for his engagement with [fellow new characters] Stannis and with Melisandre.

Cunningham is going to have a lot of scenes with Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre. On acting with Carice van Houten:

What this lady gets up to, especially as we approach halfway through the season, I think it’s going to be one of the most astonishing ends to an episode that people are gonna see. When I read it, my jaw was almost on the ground, when we shot it, my jaw was on the ground. It’s pretty amazing… and Carice herself, it’s bizarre — the last time we worked together, we played lovers — and then this time around, we more or less completely despise each other. I think her character is undermining Stannis — is leading, is catching his eye, is out for power, is to be totally mistrusted and our relationship is far from friendly and both of us are pulling at Stannis. It’s a really interesting dynamic.
