'Game of Thrones' Showrunners Made Cameos in Latest Episode 'The Last of the Starks'
By Hannah Wigandt
One scene in the beginning half of Game of Thrones' latest episode, "The Last of the Starks," was very joyful and filled with celebrations as the characters came together for a victory feast. Despite some of tense moments, there were many great exchanges between the surviving people at Winterfell, including one that starred Thrones showrunners, David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
If you were too busy watching Daenerys Targaryen's reaction to Tormund's hilarious speech about how great Jon Snow was, you might not have caught the Thrones showrunners in their very own cameo. The pair recalled their scene in the "Game Revealed" video for the episode below.
The duo is seen standing around Tormund drinking and praising Jon, as the Wildling drinks heavily from his horn. Equipped with ragged beards, the showrunners are almost unrecognizable.
"We're there. Well hidden. Giant beard," Benioff said, laughing. Weiss added, "I was concerned we were going to ruin that, but I don't think we did."
A Song of Fire and Ice author, George R.R. Martin, was asked to also do a cameo, but it was reported that he declined because he wanted to focus on finishing the six book in his series, The Winds of Winter.
