Just listened to the gunpowder episode and was screaming into my AirPods walking my dog on the streets

They’re talking about how charismatic Robert Catesby was and tom says he was so charismatic he was played by Jon snow and Dominick of course chimes in and says he found him to be rather wooden and don’t live up to Catebys reputation and they agree.

But they fail to mention his actual name is Chris catesby harington and that he’s a direct descendant and fought hard to use all his post game of thrones juice to have it made! How rare is that to have an actual descendant of someone who actually committed a legendary act to then play their great great grandfather in a major production of it? Has to be the only time that’s ever happened and Tom didn’t even mention it!
