Game of Thrones cast: Who did Ellie Kendrick play? Meet the McDonald and Dodds star | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

In a TV interview with Sky Atlantic, Kendrick talked about her character Meera Reed in Game of Thrones.

She said: “I’m absolutely loving being on Game of Thrones, when I got the call I already had a couple of friends in it.

“I loved it because I love the fact I’m the girl who is wearing trousers, and doesn’t have to get naked or die, yet.

“I had already read some of the book beforehand but the great thing about the books is each chapter has the character’s name above so I read all the Bran sections.”

She also revealed how she had bow and arrow training for the series at a special “weapons camp”.

Game of Thrones is available to watch on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV
