Jack Gleeson | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Game of Thrones star Jack Gleeson, who you will remember as Joffrey Baratheon aka King Joffrey, is making his return to acting.

Jack, who is now 27, has not acted since his character was killed off of the hit HBO show in a very pivotal scene. The character’s death, and who killed him, went on to be a major story line through multiple seasons.

Jack is joining the cast of the BBC comedy series Out Of Her Mind, which “subverts the traditional sitcom format by combining eccentric characters, animation, and scientific explanation,” EW reports.

The hit HBO series, which stars Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Richard Madden, Kit Harington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Jack Gleeson, and many others, will be returning on April 6 at 9/8c.

“We have another royal wedding, this one is not red; this one is a different color,” writer George R.R. Martin revealed about the new season (via E! News). “We have the introduction of some great new characters. We finally introduce one of the most popular characters from the books: Prince Oberon Martell. The Red Viper of Dorne will be introduced for the first time and there will be some other new characters that I think the fans will like.”

Jack recently chatted with GQ about playing the villainous Joffrey Baratheon.

“[His] rings – really decadent gold rings with opals – helped me get into the character. You can play with them. And the crown, of course,” he shared. “It completely abstracts you form everyday life. When I put it on, I feel like everyone is subservient to me.”

Game of Thrones‘ second season airs this Sunday (June 3) at 9 p.m. on HBO!
