Pamela Smyth, Head of Crowd Makeup Game of Thrones, told the Belfast Live: “Even among the thousands of extras that came through the crowd room on Thrones – Andrew always stood out.” Co-star and friend Andy McClay also told the publication: “Everyone always wanted Andrew. There was just something about him that was special. People always felt good around him, happy, excited for the day’s work and there was always a lot of fun when he was around.”McClay continued: “I’d say most of us felt the same when we came on set, we wanted Andrew to be there, we’d search him out. He was like a gel that kept us all together. “A lot of people plan to travel to attend his funeral; actors, directors, make-up and many, many more. Everyone who met Andrew loved him. “He did a lot of different things, including working as a ‘Game of Thrones’ tour guide which he was brilliant at. He could have made it as a professional actor but he really wanted to do his art and DJ.” (IANS)
