Liam Bowes passed away November 19, 2020.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re devastated to report that <strong>Liam Bowes<\/strong> passed away suddenly November 19, 2020. He was 29. Liam was a talented actor, musician, and writer. He shared his gifts with our 2018 <em>Game of Thrones: Virtual Final Season<\/em> production playing a main lead \u2013 Jon Snow. At the time, Jon Snow was one of the most popular and recognizable characters in the world. We knew casting the role for our production would be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, Liam answered our casting notice. We were stunned by Liam&#8217;s audition, and we knew immediately we had found our King in the North. His portrayal showcased Liam\u2019s empathy, and he offered another compelling version of this iconic character. Liam became the first actor ever to interpret R+L=J. He shouldered this responsibility marvelously. We are grateful he joined our cast and happy to have his performance preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liam will be missed by his family, castmates, bandmates, friends, and fans. His family asks that you consider making a donation in Liam\u2019s memory to the National Alliance of Mental Health at nami.org or to NAMI of Massachusetts, 529 Main St. #1M17, Boston MA 02019.

She coordinated four cameras and called the shots with 14 actors. Marissa didn\u2019t just deliver \u2013 she crushed it. And we knew she would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Marissa was the director for all of the Boston University men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball broadcasts. So, Marissa mapped our <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> staged reading like an action-packed sporting event. She captured important moments among our actors. She put viewers in the middle of the action. She and her stellar BUTV10 production team helped bring our season to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Praise<\/h2>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualfinalseason.com\/GoT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Praise-for-Game-of-Thrones-VFS-7-10-21-web.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-mobile-width=\"500\"  data-scrollbar=\"vertical\" data-download=\"on\" data-tracking=\"on\" data-newwindow=\"on\" data-pagetextbox=\"off\" data-scrolltotop=\"on\" data-startzoom=\"100\" data-startfpzoom=\"100\" data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"on\">Praise-for-Game-of-Thrones-VFS-7-10-21-web<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Event<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-3588\" style=\"max-width: 1547px;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-109-0 metaslider metaslider-responsive metaslider-3588 ml-slider ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"#ForTheThrone\" data-height=\"1047\" data-width=\"1547\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_3588\">\n        <ul id='metaslider_3588' class='rslides'>\n            <li aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-0'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.virtualfinalseason.com\/GoT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/GoT_VFS-HBO-Game-of-Thrones-Iron-Throne-4.18_G_Morse-981x664.jpg\" height=\"1047\" width=\"1547\" alt=\"Laughing it up on the Iron Throne\" class=\"slider-3588 slide-3589 msDefaultImage\" title=\"GoT_VFS HBO Game of Thrones Iron Throne 4.18_G_Morse\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">Throne fun!
