Michael Patrick, Game of Thrones Actor, Dead at 35

In addition to work on the stage as a Shakespearean actor, Michael appeared in television series such as Blue Lights, This Town, Blasts from the Past and appeared in an episode for season six of Game of Thrones. 

He also co-wrote and appeared in the BBC series My Left Nut, which was based on a one-man play he’d written about his teenage years during which he worried he had testicular cancer. 

And much like that experience, following his diagnosis in 2023, Mickey channeled his feelings into a different one-man stage production, My Right Foot—the location where he first felt weakness as a result of his MND.

Calling it a “spiritual successor to My Left Nut,” Michael wrote of the production in May 2025, “I should be performing it at @lyricbelfast in October… as long as I’m not dead by then!”

Keeping it light, he warned, “That’s the type of joke you can expect if you come to see the play.”
