During an interview with Flicks and the City, Parkinson also mentioned that he was not allowed by his parents to watch Game of Thrones due to its R18 content apart from a few scenes that were related to him. In a later interview published in the New Zealand Herald on 7 April 2015, Parkinson admitted that he was put-off watching Game of Thrones after seeing a three-year old child getting his throat slit in one episode.
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.
