Game of Thrones is an HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire". Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime, Game of Thrones chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the kingdom's seven noble families for control of the Iron Throne; as the series opens, additional threats from the snow and ice covered region north of Westeros and from the eastern continent across a narrow sea are simultaneously beginning to rise.

As Robb Stark and his northern army continue the war against the Lannisters, Tyrion arrives in King's Landing to counsel Joffrey and temper the young king's excesses. On the island of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon plots an invasion to claim his late brother's throne, allying himself with the fiery Melisandre, a strange priestess of a stranger god. Across the sea, Daenerys, her three young dragons and khalasar trek through the Red Waste in search of allies, or water. In the North, Bran presides over a threadbare Winterfell, while beyond the Wall, Jon Snow and the Night's Watch must shelter with a devious wildling.

Actor Wilko Johnson is notorious for portraying the quiet and unnerving villain Ser Ilyn Payne on HBO's Game of Thrones. His manager announced that he is suffering from terminal cancer via Facebook saying, "I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy." The official Game of Thrones Twitter account also offered condolences saying, "Wishing Wilko Johnson all the best. Our hearts go out to his friends and family."

Fans of the hit series know that Ser Ilyn Payne is the executioner who sliced off the head of a fan favorite during season one which shocked viewers that were unfamiliar with the novels. Johnson is also a member of British blues band Dr. Feelgood.
