From an interview of Salman Rushdie

Which shows are your favorites?
I have to say, that after some initial resistance, I'm now a complete Game of Thrones addict.
Who is your favorite character?
I'm very proud of the fact that we got Charles Dance into Midnight's Children to play William Methwold. We actually have the head of the Lannister dynasty in our movie!
