Jack Gleeson
If you’ve seen the hit series ‘Game of Thrones’, you’ll know exactly who this is: Jack Gleeson, the guy who played the evil child-king Joffrey. Did you hate him just as much as we did? Because this role certainly was very easy to hate. It turns out, this collective hatred of him was a big part of the reason why Jack Gleeson decided to quit acting and start living a more ordinary life.
Jack began acting when he was seven and had several minor roles. But when he got to play the most hated character on television in Game of Thrones, it certainly took its toll. So, when his character was killed off, Jack decided to quit his acting career. Instead, he went back to school and began studying theology in college. However, later on, he decided to return to television.
