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.

Or his role as shirtless and panting Robb Stark on Game of Thrones...
Mmm. Yes. More of this. Yum.

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.
