Alfie Allen on The Late Late Show with James Corden
Fans going through Game of Thrones withdrawal may get some satisfaction from The Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday Aug. 13. Alfie Allen, AKA Theon Greyjoy, will be on the show.
Allen’s performance on Game of Thrones was one of the highlights of the eighth and final season. Spoilers ahead, in the off chance you’re not caught up, but his character has a clear arc and his fate was applauded by most fans. It even resulted in an Emmy nomination for Allen.
James Corden, like every other late night host, is a Game of Thrones fan. He will likely ask Allen about his experience during the final season as well as what the actor thinks about the criticism from some fans (and actors) about how the show ended.
Outside of Game of Thrones, Allen has been in two episodes of the Hulu series Harlots. He also has roles in the upcoming movies Jojo Rabbit and How to Build a Girl.
But most of Allen’s time on James Corden’s couch will be spent talking about Game of Thrones. Allen deserves the praise he received for his performance over the entire run of the series and in season eight especially.
