There has been a lot of drama on Game of Thrones this year--both in the show and outside of it with leaks and hacks. Now, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, has responded to all the drama and weighed in with an idea for how to prevent such leaks from happening.Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Coster-Waldau said the leaks are ironic in that the producers went to such great lengths to protect secrets from getting out there. `We had to set up all these email accounts [to get scripts],` he said. `They had to be triple and quadruple [checked]. All this stuff, right? And, of course, now they have this big hack!`Also in the interview, Coster-Waldau recalled the moment when he and other actors were told about the hack that resulted in their personal information becoming exposed.`And then we get a call [saying], `They have all your information. And we`re not sure what`s going to happen` What do you mean you don`t know what´s going to happen?` Well, we don`t know what`s going to happen but they have everything.` Okay, great.`So what can be done to prevent leaks? According to Coster-Waldau, if the scripts were hand-delivered, this could cut down on leaks. `Just give us the hard copies instead of all this email and digital stuff,` he said.This Sunday`s sixth episode of Game of Thrones leaked, as HBO itself apparently put it out there early by accident.
