Interview: Liam Cunningham

Solving the “3 Body Problem”: On Science, Horror, and the Search for Intelligent Life… anywhere!

From the beloved Ser Davos in Game of Thrones to the enigmatic Thomas Wade in Netflix’s upcoming science fiction series 3 Body Problem, Irish actor Liam Cunningham has showcased his versatility across a multitude of roles. With over 100 titles to his name, ranging from thrillers and intense dramas to sci-fi and horror, Cunningham continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

In March of 2024, I had the pleasure of interviewing Irish actor Liam Cunningham about his role as the cold and pragmatic intelligence chief Thomas Wade in 3 Body Problem, where he reunites with Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The series, based on the first book of Chinese author Liu Cixin’s acclaimed science fiction trilogy Remembrance of Earth’s Past, poses profound questions about intelligent life on other planets in a unique and thought-provoking manner.
