Is Aidan Gillen using his Haughey voice on Game of Thrones? People seem to think so
“We are living way beyond our means, Sansa.”
AS YOU WELL know by now, Game of Thrones returned for its fifth season on Monday.
The immensely popular show stars a host of Irish actors, including a certain Aidan Gillen.
Most recently, Gillen starred as Charles Haughey in the RTÉ One miniseries, Charlie.
