In the books he wasn't all that interesting, but he's great in the show and gets some really good scenes.

I watched a really good interview on him on YouTube. At one point he talks about his having to pretend he was illiterate and learning to read, and he got so into it that once when he was practicing that bit he actually jumped up with excitement when he got a word right as if he really was someone who couldn't read. He's really quite funny, too.

found it!
