Ron can easily be called one of the “elder statesmen” within this young group of Game of Thrones actors, and he was, blessedly, a calming influence (and a voice of reason) during the Fall of House Stark panel.
And so we mourn the loss of another great actor and another great character. And we gather now to give Ron Donachie and Ser Rodrik Cassel the send-off he deserves.
''Rodrik and Ned are old comrades in arms, Rodrik is completely devoted to Catelyn, and he has been the boys’ tutor in the most intense phase of their upbringing.''
