Baa! ‘Severance’ Goat Queen Gwendoline Christie on Finding the ‘Primal Rage’ in Lorne and Breaking Her ‘No Combat’ Rule After ‘Game of Thrones’

She was a huge fan of Ben Stiller’s 2018 miniseries “Escape at Dannemora” and thought “Severance” was “the freshest, most original piece of work” she’d seen in years. After that series, in which her character Brienne of Tarth took on some of Westeros’ most fearsome miscreants, Christie turned down violent roles to avoid being typecast.
