How much do you know about John Bradley-West? Yeah, he's the guy who plays the only Game of Thrones character who has learned to read. And yes, Samwell Tarly is one of three characters who have actually killed a White Walker. And yes, he's one of two living characters who actually knows Jon Snow is really a Targaryen (spoiler alert!).
But how much do you really know about John Bradley-West? Do you know him well enough to know that there's not actually a hyphen in his name? Yes, John Bradley-West is no one, as John Bradley explains in the latest instalment of the Wiki What? series. His real name is John Bradley West. But he goes professionally as John Bradley, and changes name hyphens faster than Jay-Z.
As he expands his thin Wikipedia page with Josh Gondelman, the resident Wikipediatrician, we learn a number of other valuable details about the young actor. Like, did you know he loves Spice Girls? Also, he has family, unlike his character whose father and brother were torched by a dragon. And his first appearance on television was on a little show called Game of Thrones. Have you heard of it? These facts are far more important than things like Melisandre's relationship to the High Priestess of R'hllor in Volantis, where the Fiery Hand guards the Red Temple.
