I just assume they got better shit to do. Like read something good.
And yeah, really, they're not acting the books. They're acting the scripts. So a knowledge of the books might actually make it, well not harder, but more of a hassle.
Hopefully the scriptwriters have read the books. From what you guys sometimes complain about... that may be a fair question sometimes!

If you listen to the DVD commentaries with the actors it's pretty obvious that they have not read the books or even read the parts of the script that they are not in. All they do is complain about how hot or cold it was on set that day and talk about how all the other actors are "brilliant" or "amazing". The commentaries with writers and directors are usually interesting but the actors all seem like vapid morons.

Lol the showrunners actually hired a fanboi/bookfag as the "bible guy" and screenwriter for season one: Bryan Cogman. That dude has since been promoted to co-Producer and often gets exec credits. He's even writing the Magic:TheGathering movie wtf.

Part of doing the hollywood thing is circle jerking each other every chance you get. You almost never seen an interview with someone being critical. Look at all the reward shows they have to pat each other on the back.

There is a massive difference between an actor not reading the books on which his scripts will be loosely based upon, and an actor not knowing that the goddamn books exist, already, long before said scripts are written.
Bitch started pleading with GRRM to "not kill her character off" during the season 3 post production when they were all on the interview circuit doing pr for season 3. Even if bitch was dumb enough to think that GRRM was writing and publishing the books as the show was being made and like the show runners were getting the books just in time to write next seasons scripts from them, she had to have known that book 3 was going to be split into seasons 3 and 4 and thus her fate was already sealed.

Look, we get it, you don't like the actress playing Shae. However, your criticism applies equally to Peter Dinklage, who also doesn't know what books are out or Charles Dance. So save your vitriol for other reasons to dislike her. This one doesn't make much sense.

Neither peter dinklage nor charles dance were begging GRRM not to kill their characters off, they both know that there are at present, 5 books written, and Charles Dance knew that his character died at the end of the 3rd book (some fan spoiled it for him after he was cast to play Tywin. He actually spoiled it to tv watchers during an interview after the 2nd season) so no, my criticism doesn't apply equally to anyone except that stupid cunt. Bitch somehow did not know that the 3rd book had already been written, after filming the 3rd season of the show, in which the first half of the 3rd book was being adapted for TV. That is a level of stupid beyond actor/porn star dumb. If your belief system involves time machines for basic logic and reasoning to exist then you dumb.

You are way too incensed that an actress isn't a fangirl of the show she is on. You need some perspective. For all you know, she went to some pains to keep from being spoiled so it wouldn't ruin her portrayal, just like other actors on the show have done.

No it really doesn't since neither of them were pleading with the author not to kill their characters.

How does both not wanting to be spoiled and also joking around with GRRM about not wanting to be killed make her a dumb bitch? There isn't even a contradiction there. Hell, Dinklage has joked on Letterman and shit about hoping that he doesn't get killed off. Does that make him a dumb bitch?
