As 2014 comes to a close, we take a moment at Geeks Of Doom to remember all the fallen entertainment figures in film and television who left us this year. This year, we gave a farewell to a large array of heavyweights, cult heroes, pioneering figures, and sentimental favorites who were among those who have passed on in a physical sense, but leaving the memories, the ones that they made in the past and the ones each of their fans have in regards to them.

Veteran actor JJ Murphy died this past weekend just four days into filming his first scenes for the upcoming season of Game Of Thrones, according to The Guardian. No cause of death has been released at this time. He was 86.

The Belfast actor was cast in the HBO series for the fifth season as Ser Denys Mallister, the oldest member of the Night’s Watch, and had only shot a few scenes before his death.
