There is no doubt that Game of Thrones , the most successful HBO series and perhaps the recent history of television, has completely changed the life of its entire cast. But Rory McCann, the actor who since the beginning of the fantastic drama played Sandor Clegane, also known as The Dog, takes the cake.

According to the 50-year-old Scottish interpreter, in a meeting with his castmates, before signing for Game of Thrones he was sleeping on the street while living in Iceland. "Two years before I lived in a tent, literally in a tent, and stole food occasionally, " McCann confessed to Conan O'Brien, host of this special program that can only be seen in full in the special DVD edition of the eight seasons of the series, according to Metro .

"Then I got a job and I recovered. But, suddenly, they took me in a good car everywhere in the best and biggest series in the world . This shows how you can change your luck. It's amazing," said McCann, one of the few actors who managed to survive the eight installments of the fantastic drama. And speaking of his outstanding debts in Iceland, he added: "I got back and paid my fines in the library."

But how did the Scottish actor sleeping on the street in Iceland end up? As McCann explained to the Daily Record before, "I had made a Viking movie with Gerard Butler and when I finished filming, I told myself, I will stay" and he was in the country for another 11 months. The film, by the way, is Beowulf & Grendel: the return of the beast .

"There was nothing working as an actor at that time. I had told my agent to call me if something came up, but there was nothing, so I stayed," he continued. "Winter was about to begin and some locals told me that he was the only man on the whole island living in a store , so they helped me get a house and I found work as a carpenter," he concluded.
