We, as fans, would know how awesome it would be if we were able to be an extra on Game of Thrones but I don’t think the show-runners know how awesome fans think it would be. In a recent casting call for a pivotal battle scene for the upcoming season, the show-runners asked for 600 extras. However, it seems they received more than they bargained for when 86,000 people applied!

O.O HOLY HECK! SO MANY PEOPLE!

According to The Independent:

Many of the fans hoping to be a part of GoT history needed the money, but one applicant, according to Entertainment Weekly, took holiday from his high-level banking job to feature in the show. 

One, I find that awesome because it just shows how far this show has spread but overall, it really makes me wonder how they narrowed it down. I mean, how do you narrow down 86,000 people to 600 people?
