Before he was cast in the international hit "Game of Thrones" (HBO 2011- ) English actor Jerome Flynn was best known for his role as Corporal Paddy Garvey in the popular British television series "Soldier Soldier" (ITV 1991-97). While both shows shared a love of big themes, Flynn's own life turned out to have a broad sweep of its own, filled with the kind of stories of which legends can be made.
