Here’s yet another glimpse of the GAME OF THRONES second season, courtesy of HBO.

This one is called “Invitation to the Set.”

Enjoy (but don’t really try to visit the set, security will stop you).

And here’s another “Making of… ” video with HBO, with more behind-the-scenes looks at how GAME OF THRONES is made.

This one is on life as an extra.

I was an extra myself once… well, twice… on two episodes on BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, back in the dawn of time. And on the GAME OF THRONES pilot as well, though my scene wound up on the cutting room floor. And I had such big balls too… and a HUGE, ah, hat…

Here’s the latest “In Production” video from HBO, this time featuring Iceland.

Damn, but that looks gorgeous.

DAMN, but that looks cold.

Watching this really makes me regret that I did not get to visit the shoot this season. Not Belfast, not Croatia, and not Iceland.

Next season, though…

Spent yesterday with a film crew with HBO, talking about Westeros and Ice & Fire for second season GAME OF THRONES promotional videos, trailers, HBO GO extras, DVD/ Blu-Ray add ons, etc.

Six and a half hours of interviews.

I may never talk again.
