‘Game of Thrones’ season 3 spoilers: Check out some more casting news
According to a new report from Winter Is Coming, there are actually three new castings worth talking about; and while none of these people will necessarily be playing enormous parts on the HBO series on par with the Lannisters or Daenerys Targeryan, they are still a part of the rich tapestry that is the story.
Tom Brooke – This may be the most significant casting of the ones we have here, as the British TV veteran will be playing the role of “Lame” Lothar Frey. His character has a part to play with the Stark family (in particular Robb and Catelyn) during the George R.R. Marin book A Storm of Swords, and since the series has done a pretty good job over the years staying true to the source material, we have a feeling that we will be seeing something very similar happen here.
Burn Gorman – Even less is known here, but this actor will be playing a member of the Night’s Watch (which to us means almost by default that he will be seen along with Samwell). Gorman is best known for “Torchwood.”
Stephanie Blacker – This one is the most obscure of all, as the site used a CV to find out that she will be playing the role of “Violet” in one of the later episodes of the season. There is a character known as this in the books, but they appear only in flashbacks.
What do you think about these castings? If you want to preview the “Game of Thrones” season 2 DVD with a rap video (weird as that sounds), you can do so here.
