I saw him on his “death bed” tour in 2015.. when he had fought off the cancer the first time around. Definitely a character. - his acting in GoT’s questionable... like most of the cast.

Just read the Guardian obit which tells that he first wanted to play guitar after seeing The Shadows and there it is; the Shadows’ walk!
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.
