King Joffrey is a character we all love to hate. And by hate I really mean LOATHE. The “Game of Thrones” character played by Jack Gleeson is one of the most famously bad characters in television and literature. So when his character inevitably exits the show, Gleeson has stated that he plans to quit acting. For good.

Gleeson said he would rather quit acting so he can focus on charity work during an interview with The Independent. According to the interview, a recent trip to Haiti with international aid organization, Goal, was one of the deciding factors that led Gleeson to wanting to step out of the limelight and spend more time doing charity work.

Whether this ends up being permanent or not, it is still incredibly selfless and admirable. Though it would have been nice to see him in a non-villain role. One day maybe? Either way, way to go Gleeson.

“Game of Thrones” is scheduled to premiere in early 2014 on HBO. It will be based roughly on the second half of A Storm of Swords, the third book of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R. R. Martin, of which the series is an adaptation. The season will consist of ten episodes .
