His mother Movania Parkinson helped Art to secure the role of Rickon Stark after learning from a friend that the casting team had been unable to find someone to play that character. After doing a screen test, Art met the producers and the voice coach Brendan Gunn, who got him to repeat the same test. As a result, Art was picked for the role of Rickon. In an interview with Bill Bradley from the Huffington Post, Parkinson confirmed that the character Shaggydog was dead. During that interview, he also mentioned that he did not adopt a show dog like his fellow actor Sophie Turner because his family already had two dogs and his mother Movania felt that a great husky would unnerve their other dogs.Game of Thrones Star Art Parkinson Shoots Down Shaggydog Theory
