Game of Thrones Actors Answer the Big Question: Is Jon Snow Dead?

Another day, another cast member being asked whether Jon Snow is alive or dead. Or in this case, several cast members. Entertainment Weekly continues its all-out Game of Thrones coverage blitz a fun video in which cast members ruminate on the question that has intrigued fans and philosophers everywhere for months: is Jon Snow dead?

Let’s see here: Sophie Turner doesn’t want to talk about it, Emilia Clarke has to avoid circuitous questions on the subject, Natalie Dormer answers the question in French, and Maisie Williams just looks at the inquirers with disdain, because she knows more than they do. Gwendoline Christie only reads her own bits in the script, because plausible deniability is the best kind of deniability, and Lena Heady’s nanny holds her baby hostage for answers. Season 6 needs to get here really quick.

EW asked other cast members to weigh in on the matter as well.

• Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime): “I say, ‘He’s dead.’ It’s not hard — because he’s dead.”

• Conleth Hill (Varys): “You saw him die, so why you asking me?”

• Liam Cunningham (Davos): “I say, ‘Yeah, he’s dead, he’s f–king dead.’ And people get angry about it!”

• Alfie Allen (Theon): “He lives on — not physically.”

And not all of the cast members’ responses made it into the video.

• Emilia Clarke (Daenerys): “It’s frustrating. People want him to be alive so much, you could just exhale and they’ll find a way to say, ‘That means Jon Snow’s alive.’”

• Lena Headey (Cersei): “‘If I told you, I’d have to kill you.’ Or I just laugh.”

In the interest of cutting through the unknowable quagmire, lemme just restate the company line on the matter: Jon Snow is dead. He’s dead and he’s gone, but whether he will rise again as Aegon Stark or Jon Targaryen or whoever…that remains to be seen.
