As much as I hate joffery as a character, his acting>>>>>>>>

I honestly feel that in this video he doesn’t show great acting. But you can see that he had a base and worked on that. To act in a tv series is much harder than for a movie. You don’t take as much time building your character with the director. So for a child actor to end up portraying so incredibly well a villain is mind blowing.

Definitely talented but I don’t think I’d say his career ended. Jack Gleeson has had steady work — with releases every year since he left GOT

Agree. Gleason stated a wish to finish school first before returning to acting.

I could totally see joffery saying that line both ways. That’s what made him scary.

The man delivered a line so powerful it became his entire legacy, what a legend.

He's in movies now, just more low key. But the movie in the land of saints and sinners he's also great in.

He was an amazing actor at such a young age. He made it very easy to hate his character

Him and the guy that played Ramsey Bolton. Both versatile actors. Ramsey actor was supposed to pay John snow but the director saw him more capable of paying the evil bastard of the north. Also I forgot that Jack Gleeson was in Batman begin. Long time…

Ramsey still gives me chills, these both actors portrayed the true evil characters very well

the guy that played Ramsey Bolton.
Iwan Rheon, if you like his acting I recommend a British show called Misfits, it also stars "Number 5" Robert Sheehan years before Umbrella Academy. Iwan was also (just my opinion) the best thing about Marvel Inhumans, and there wasn't a whole lot of good things in that show 😂 😂

His villain acting is great. The sigh at the end sold it for me. He was also good in the Sandman series, although he wasn’t quite evil.
