That Random Who Died On ‘Game Of Thrones’ Last Night Was More Notable Than You Think

Spoilers for the latest episode of Game of Thrones (not many, but some). 

–

You know that bit in last night’s Game of Thrones, in which two clueless young guys and two haggard old guys were talking about the right way to kiss a woman? And then one of the guys got an unwanted finger in his butt? And then they were all murdered by The Hound? Well, it seems like Finger Butt guy wasn’t your average Game of Thrones corpse!

Finger Butt is actually Steve Love: a Canadian comedian who became quite internet famous for doing impressions of Game of Thrones characters. His best is Jon Snow.

This impression of the sad former Lord Commander was so accurate, that last year he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live for Kit Harington’s amusement! Kit even smiled! (Note: This is when Kit Harington was pretending that he wasn’t in the show anymore, so it took a lot to make him smile.)

Apparently the producers of Game of Thrones liked these impressions so much they asked Love if he would fancy being an extra. He told Ottawa CTV News that his only request was a terribly graphic and violent death. “I don’t know what your plan is for me, but it would really mean a lot to me if you gave me one of those trademark gruesome death scenes,” he said.

Well, congrats Steve Love! Your wish came true.
