stillinwonderland Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 More Casting Natalie Dormer will play Margaery Tyrell. She is the younger (at least in the books) sister of Loras Tyrell. Gwendoline Christie has been cast as Brienne, the Blue Knight. She is a part of Renly's Rainbow Gaurd. Nonso Anozie will play the merchant-prince Xaro Xhoan Daxos, who will provide Daenerys shelter and support in the ancient, decadent city of Qarth. Roose Bolton will be played by Michael McElhatton. Bolton is the stern and sinister Lord of the Dreadfort (their sigil is a flayed man ), a sworn bannerman to Winterfell but his family was once an enemy of the Starks. Oona Chaplin will play Jeyne (probably Westerling). Quote
k_dub Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Congrats to Peter Dinklage for winning the Emmy for "Best supporting Actor in a Drama Series". He is definitely one of the most interesting characters in the show, and the only member of the Lannister family that I like. Quote
