I think it’s bullshit that they didn’t even put a photo in the article.

Not disrespectful at all actually. Sure, maybe he was only in the one episode but maybe it was his most popular role or one he'd be most recognized for.

You dont think it's disrespectful to exploit someone's death for clicks and views? Holy shit...
He was not a game of thrones star. He wasn't even a game of thrones actor, he was an extra in one episode. There's a difference, and its not just a matter of semantics.
This is deliberately deceptive, and very effective at achieving the publishers objective. Which was not, btw, to honor this man. I saw the news headline outside of listnook and took the bait, trying to figure out who he played. As soon as I realized what they had done it registered how despicable it was.
You honestly think it isn't?

Because when you see an article referencing a dead actor and a show, it was usually someone that had more than one episode credit on a 73 episode series.
This site just wanted people’s clicks when people see “game of thrones” then scroll the whole article looking for a picture of the guy which technically puts the ads in your view.

Besides the no pic thing, he was an actor in the show. It’s not like they called him a star.

Imagine being a background character in 1 episode of a show 10 years ago, and it's how they discuss you when you die...

Well, they’re not gonna discuss most of us at all when we die so it’s probably not that bad all things considered

But every single person's reaction to this will be,
"Oh my God, who! Oh, some random I've never heard of. Don't care"

Many will. Some will have moderately deep conversations about death and the consequences of celebrity status in the modern age.

In my localized entertainment news it was even headlined that a "Game of Thrones-star" had died at 35, so I thought it might be one of the main cast. I think two things are true here:
A) He was definitely a GOT-actor, having appeared in that one episode
B) Headlining his death in this way is disingenuous clickbaiting
In any case, RIP to the man - his condition sounds like a rough one :(

What about the "It is known" actress? She appeared in 2 maybe 3 eps... Is she safe?

Every single result I've seen about his passing calls him a "Game of Thrones actor" in the headline.
I'm sure that's the biggest project he worked on, but the biggest project he was featured more in would be a better choice.
But GOT yields clicks, so they don't care to pay homage to the man's memory.

It feels like someone saw Michael Patrick, and that he was young and assumed it was Michael Patrick Kelly, and then was too embarrassed and so just kept writing the report
I was reading about this guy when the news broke, he adapted and performed Richard III in a wheelchair after his diagnosis which is incredible, RIP

Irish actor Michael Patrick, who appeared on the popular HBO show “Game of Thrones,” has died at 35 after a three-year battle with Motor Neuron Disease. He was 35.

Probably the best actor in the entire show. This is not the news I needed to hear today. RIP Michael
