For already 5 years in a row, the American TV channel of the HBO TV channel Game of Thrones, shot on the basis of George Martin’s series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire, has been on the screens for five years in a row. It is unlikely that there will be a fan of this TV show who would not be familiar with such a character as Ramsey Bolton. The actor who recreated this image on the screen, according to many fans of the saga, was perfectly matched. His name is Ivan Reon.
Talent from Wales
Ivan Reon was born on May 13, 1985 in Carmarthen, but grew up in Cardiff. The boy began to study dramatic art at school, and after it he graduated from the Academy of Musical and Dramatic Art in London. Ivan took his first steps in the acting profession on the stage, and even won the Laurence Olivier Prize for his role in the rock musical. But the real glory to the British brought the role of Simon Bellamy in the popular youth TV series "Scum" (2009-2012), which glorified him far beyond the United Kingdom. True, after Rejection, Reon did not have significant roles, only a few almost unknown films and series on British television channels. And from 2013 to the present, in addition to the fact that Ivan Reon is Ramsey Bolton in the Game of Thrones, he is also Ash Weston in the sitcom Vicious. Ivan is a creative and multifaceted person, he not only plays in films and TV shows, but also does music. He has four solo albums.
Ramsey Snow
A bit about the character itself. This is the illegitimate son of one of the lords of the North, namely Ruse Bolton. He decided to severely punish one of his subjects, a girl from a peasant family, who, without the knowledge of her lord, tied the knot with a miller. Hanging her husband, Ruse Bolton took possession of the girl, and after 9 months she brought the baby to the gates of his castle. Despite the desire to get rid of the baby, the lord, who had lost his rightful heirs by that time, decided to leave him and gave him the name Ramsey. But all bastards traditionally bear the name Snow, until the parent decides to officially recognize his child and give him his last name. Viewers first met Ramsey Snow in the third season of the series, however, the mention of this character was still in the second. Throughout the third season, the character Ramsey reveals to the viewer all his terrible features, subjecting the inhuman torture of Theon Greyjoy, and as a result completely destroys and destroys him as a person.
Ramsey Bolton: actor, interesting facts about the role
In the fourth season, for the successful outcome of the operation to conquer the strategically important Rva Kailin, Lord Ruse finally recognizes his bastard as his rightful heir and gives him his last name. From now on, his name is Ramsey Bolton. Actor Ivan Reon, according to readers, viewers and critics, brilliantly coped with his role, because he could very accurately convey a book character and cause a real dislike among the audience. An interesting fact is that the creators of the series, having already announced the replenishment of the cast in the third season in the person of Reon, kept the intrigue to the last, whom he will play. Initially, he was even declared in the credits as just “Boy”. Also, according to the producers of the series, the actor who plays Ramsey Bolton, initially passed the test for the role of John Snow, but this role went to Keith Harington. An unbalanced sadist is Ramsey Bolton. The actor believes that the enjoyment of someone else's pain and suffering is a key factor in the character of the hero, who, by the hatred of the audience, can definitely surpass Joffrey's anti-lover of the audience, especially since this character no longer competes because of his death.
