Not even Game of Thrones<\/em> is immune the celebrity cameo. There was Ed Sheeran<\/a><\/strong>, Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong>, Coldplay<\/a><\/strong>‘s Will Champion<\/strong>, Snow Patrol<\/strong>‘s Gary Lightbody<\/strong>, Of Monsters and Men<\/strong> and now\u2026Rob McElhenney<\/strong>. Yep, that Rob McElhenney, the creator and star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Warning, spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

McElhenney appears on Euron Greyjoy’s (Pilou Asb\u00e6k<\/strong>) ship and is killed while Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen<\/strong>) rescued Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan<\/strong>). McElhenney got an arrow through the eye. But he wasn’t the only cameo in the episode. Freaks and Geeks<\/em>, Party Down<\/em> and Silicon Valley<\/em> star Martin Starr<\/strong> also appears.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The actor posted about his cameo, and gruesome death, on Instagram simply saying, “Don’t blink.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

McElhenney is a vocal fan of Game of Thrones<\/em> and let Thrones<\/em> co-creators David Benioff<\/strong> and D.B. Weiss<\/strong> write an episode of the series, the season nine episode “Flowers for Charlie.” He posted proof of it on Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Game of Thrones<\/em> has just five episodes left before it all comes to an end. Following the five episodes, a two-hour documentary, Game of Thrones: The Last Watch<\/em>, will air on May 26. The film is a behind-the-scenes look at production on the grueling eighth and final season. The movie is described as “much more than a \u2018making of’ documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world\u2014and then have to say goodbye to it,” HBO said in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
