While many actors would kill to be on HBO's hit drama "Game of Thrones," one actor sounds as if he couldn't wait to be killed off the show.
Stephen Dillane, who played King Stannis Baratheon, was finished off during season five at the hands of Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie). But his death occurred offscreen and has helped lead to a very popular fan theory that he actually survived the fight.
Apparently, the theory is wrong. Dillane confirmed in a recent interview with French magazine Liberation that he won't be back on the show and is clearly fine with that.

When the magazine asked Dillane why he did the show, the actor answered after a long silent pause: "Among other things, for the money."
Business Insider contacted a representative for Dillane, but he has yet to respond.
