After the Purple Wedding...Now What?3 of 10
Yes, King Joffrey is dead. But the lovely Gleeson is now free to follow any number of pursuits. For the present they won't involve acting; he confirmed this after Sunday's episode aired. Gleeson has one year left in undergrad and may go to graduate school.
But life is long, and Gleeson is young. He could change his mind.
"When I’m destitute in 10 years time, I’ll accept any script!" he joked to Entertainment Weekly. "No. As long as I’m in the not-ungrateful-but-perhaps-happy place where I can say "No" to whatever, I’m going to do that."
If he does decide to return, there are plenty of paths that actors in his situation -- that is, people whose earliest roles threatened to overshadow a burgeoning career -- might consider emulating to build lasting success in the entertainment industry.
Consider the roads taken, and in some cases, forged, by the following actors and actresses.
