Richard Madden’s Game Of Would You Rather Is Almost As Shocking As “Game Of Thrones”

Would the former King of the North rather kill Joffrey, or inherit Khaleesi’s dragons? That’s a tough one.

You probably know Richard Madden best from his role as Robb Stark on Game of Thrones.

But now, Madden's starring in a new role on the Discovery Channel miniseries Klondike, which is another period drama in which he looks delicious.

The former King of the North is stepping into a new role as hopeful gold prospector Bill Haskell in the historical Discovery Channel miniseries Klondike, which starts Jan. 20.

The three-part series, which is based on a true story, focuses on Haskell's journey to stake his claim during the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s. There's a whole lot of drinking, epic beards, and enough sexual tension to require a fainting couch while viewing. Know what else there's a lot of? Similarities to Robb Stark.

Both shows are pretty much all about snow — except in Klondike, winter has most definitely come. They're both kings of the north, respectively, and have a penchant for attracting wolves into their lives, dire and otherwise.

Which is why it seemed like a great idea to sit down with Madden and have him play a game of Would You Rather...? with us. Luckily, he obliged.
