Actor Richard Dormer, best known for his role as Beric Dondarrion in Game of Thrones, mentioned Keeley Hawes in a recent interview with the Irish magazine Hot Press.

Dormer will play a small part in Amazon Prime’s upcoming thriller The Assassin, and spent time with the leading actress in Athens, Greece, where the show was filmed.

“I’m only in a few scenes but it’s been a long engagement,” he explains. “Typically, I’ll spend ten hours getting there, work for two hours and then travel almost straight back. It’s been worth it, though, because it’s very funny, very clever and very dangerous. Most of my scenes have been with Keeley Hawes who’s absolutely lovely. One of the first things she said to me was, ‘I went to see your Hurricane Higgins show twenty years ago in the West End with Sam Rockwell. Afterwards we both agreed that we wouldn’t do theatre again and would get into television because no way could we top that.’ That’s how generous a person she is.”

The new series will likely premiere on Prime Video in June 2025.
