Dear Iain, Since Game of Thrones has now ended and Jorah’s fate revealed some weeks ago, Ser Jorahs Army has had a huge influx of thousands of new fans joining SJA and we have been literally inundated with messages on all social media platforms and emails regarding your performance as Jorah and his final performance on the show. As you know I put together a fanbook for you back in 2015, and as you are not on social media, we really wanted you to be able to read all the wonderful comments that viewers have been making since the beginning of the final series. So GoT did not end the way we wanted it to. Jorah and Daenerys flying off on Drogon and living happily ever after was always going to be a big ask! Lol It’s been such an emotional rollercoaster for us fans these last 6 weeks so it must have been an awfully emotional time for you filming your last few episodes. We are of course totally heartbroken by Jorah’s death which has had a big impact on us all. We have experienced such a mixture of emotions in Jorah’s last scene. It was so beautifully performed by you and Emilia. I doubt any character will ever hold such a place in our hearts and we all appreciate the hard work and dedication you put into the show. You made Jorah come to life in a way that no other could. He was simply the best! When I saw you back in March you said not to worry about Jorah and that it would all work out in the end and I guess it did in a way. Jorah died protecting his queen which is the only way he could go. We wonder what Jorah would have thought about his queen taking the direction she did which resulted in her death? We would love to know if you have been able to see the final episode of the show. How did you feel when you found out that Daenerys was to die by Jon’s hand? SJA is not just a group of fans, we are a huge global family and our friendship extends to more than just supporting you as an actor. It’s connected by so many thousands of us from across the world who have now become such amazing friends for life. Next month (on your birthday) marks 10 years since the IainGlenFans.org website was first online and its come such a long way since then. Looking forward SJA will remain your biggest supporter and we can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the future. Here we stand, all of us together! Lots of love, Sarah & Ser Jorah’s Army xxx _____________________________________ SJA ________________________________________ TWEETS EMAILS Loved your character so very much! You brought a depth of feeling and a nobility that lifted him from the pages/screen and made him the best of the best. The North Remembers. ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ I am so glad to have the opportunity to tell you how highly I regard you as an actor. I have never seen you in TV or movies that your performance hasn’t moved me in some way. I’m sure you know that you are beloved in the UK, but I want you to know that in the US, where your work isn’t as well know, you do have some super fans like me! Your portrayal of Jorah added so many subtle traits to the character that made it a standout. There are many actors who had a lot more attention and screen time, but Jorah was by far my favourite from the first episode. Long after Game of Thrones is over I will remember scenes where Jorah’s sincerity moved me to tears. I believe Jorah had the purest, most selfless heart of any one on the show. In closing, I want to wish you all the best in your personal life and in your craft. I look forward to seeing your next project! ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ I cried my eyes out tonight when I saw Thrones, even though I knew it was coming. Iain Glen is just the epitome of honour and bravery here - he's an amazing actor and just so genuinely believable. I totally buy into every character he plays... I loved Jack Taylor too and can't wait to see him in more and more roles. Thanks, . ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ Hi Sarah Thank you for having the fan group for Iain, it has been a pleasure to share the atmosphere together with you all. Our beloved character died honourably and there was no better exit than this, to fall gallantly. Your performance as Jorah in Game of Thrones has been of excellence. Acting a persona who seeks redemption after being broken by false love that ruined him entirely of his home and freedom. I understood this better than most of all the other characters. You did much better than the book and as you did in the movie Mountains of the moon. I watched it 27 years ago in the national TV in Iceland and we had it on video tape. It was a favourite in my teenage years because I admired explorers. I didn't realize it was you who played Speke till last year when I watched the old video cassette, never forgot the agony you portrayed in Speke's face when Burton was going to face the dispute over Lake Victoria, and when Speke took his own life. I will watch your work after the Thrones, you are my favourite actor there for real, I was on the toes for almost all the series regarding your character after 5th season. Thank you Iain. ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ Iain, I only started watching Game of Thrones within the last 8 months and I binge watched the series every weekend for a few months. I was going through a rough divorce at the time and lost faith in love. Didn’t trust men either but Ser Jorah made me believe in decent men and the power of love. It takes a very talented actor to be able to portray a character so believable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart... Ser Jorah Mormont rescued this maiden too and made me believe in love again. ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ Just a short note to let you know I have been a HUGE fan ever since I saw you in the film, “Song For A Raggy Boy”. I believe your performance in that film was one of the best acting I’d ever seen. It was definitely Oscar-worthy. Since that movie you have become my favorite actor. I have seen many different projects since then, and I must say, your performances have never disappointed. You are amazing! I love your most current projects especially Game of Thrones. Ser Jorah Mormont of Bear Island will ALWAYS be my favorite character of all time. Even though he is now dead, he will always live in my heart as the loyal and noble knight who loved his queen. I look forward to your newest project, Bruce Wayne in Titans. You are the perfect choice to play Batman. In 2011 I created a blog dedicated to you. It’s called: Iain Glen – A Man of Many Talents. I hope you can visit at your convenience and I hope you enjoy it. Here is the url: http://favor757.tumblr.com/ Anyway, I just wanted to say “hello” and to let you know you are much loved. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ Sarah, Thanks so much for organising this! It is so appreciated! Here is my message for Iain: I just want to say thank you for all the joy you’ve brought me as an actor for the last 8 years! From when I first read the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ books Jorah was one of my favourite characters but you played him so well he became my favourite in the show! The chemistry between Jorah and Dani was always electric and even though they could never be together you always hoped they would end up riding dragons and ruling the seven kingdoms together. I was gutted that they chose to kill off Jorah but what a glorious scene it was, your swordsmanship is so impressive and it certainly led to the most moving and heart breaking moment in the show. Thanks again for being so awesome and I can’t wait to see what projects you will take on in the future! ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ Hello, my name is Diana, 34, I’m a big fan of Jorah Mormont our Bear from Bear Island, here from Slovakia-Europe. I want to write to you to tell you that you made an amazing job on this character. There is so much pain, love and other feelings in your character that it is difficult to be explained in words. Jorah deserved a happy ending. I just want to tell you, you are amazing you have so much followers and lovers of this character as you and other characters you play. Keep going, you deserve an Emmy or Oscar as well, i will watch your other movies and I wish you a very nice life. Lots of luck in Batman. I wish you lots of energy, good health and lots of love . ________________________________ sJA _________________________________ Hello Iain! Thank you for your amazing performance in Game of Thrones! I just started watching Jack Taylor and am even more in LOVE! You are absolutely adorable and possess pure talent.
