Game of Thrones actor Michael Patrick died at age 35 following a three-year battle with an incurable neurodegenerative disease. The actor and playwright - who was affectionately known as "Mick" by his friends and family - memorably appeared in a Game of Thrones season 6 episode as a Wildling and also starred in British shows This Town and My Left Nut. Patrick was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in February 2023 after experiencing balance and mobility abnormalities while working on a play. Tragically, he had a family history with MND as his father also died from the condition.
