Ian McShane provides intriguing hint about his Game of Thrones role
Ian McShane was announced as a Game of Thrones cast member in August, and fans have been dying to know since then what role he’ll be playing in season 6.
We still don’t know what his character’s name will be, but thanks to a new interview, we do know at least something now about McShane’s part.
The actor was in Mexico to promote his film The Hollow Point at the Los Cabos International Film Festival and spoke with Pop Goes The News on Thursday.
(Remarks below the cut for SPOILERish quote from McShane!)
“Very exciting scene” being filmed at Magheramorne Quarry today
Game of Thrones filming is picking up again at Magheramorne Quarry, home to the Wall and the Night’s Watch.
According to a tweet from a local, the show is filming a “very exciting” scene today, one that requires extras for filming out at the quarry.
Ugh! Missed out on a #GameOfThrones casting call at 4:40am to be at Magheramorne Quarry by 6am for filming a "very exciting" scene today!

There’s no information yet as to what specifically GoT is shooting there at the moment.
In sightings news: our Euron Greyjoy, Season 6 new addition Pilou Asbæk, was spotted in Belfast yesterday.
Sightings roundup: Game of Thrones cast members pig out, hang out, and carry on filming this week!
Several Game of Thrones cast members met up today at the Mindshare Huddle event with Thronecast host Jamie East: with him are Finn Jones, Gemma Whelan, Natalia Tena, Miltos Yerolemou, and Jessica Henwick. More photos below show the cast enjoying some adorable micro pigs.
Jones’s new ultra-short do caused some speculation from fans. There’s no indication whether or not it has anything to do with Game of Thrones at the moment, however. It could simply mean that Finn is done filming for season 6 and decided it was time for a new look. Fans will undoubtedly wonder if there’s more to it- if this is connected to Loras’s situation on the show. When we last saw him, his character was still under arrest by the Sparrows and in danger.
Ah, just what we needed: #HairWatchRedux

Game of Thrones casting two more Northern noblemen for season 6!
There’s only a month left to Game of Thrones season 6 filming, but casting notices are still rolling in. Thanks to our sources, we have two role descriptions to share with you today. The newest ones to find their way to us offer more hints at the season 6 Northern plot. One of them is reminiscent of a book character who made a big impression in A Dance with Dragons, while the other is more mysterious.
The casting notice descriptions are tucked entirely below a cut for spoilers!
“Game of Thrones: The Noble Houses of Westeros” – A Review
Game of Thrones: The Noble Houses of Westeros Seasons 1-5 is coming soon, just in time for the holidays. The new book comes from the makers of Game of Thrones: In Memoriam (out earlier this year). The book aims to help viewers stay on top of who is who on Game of Thrones, with complete family trees and more, creating an essential companion guide to the series. Luckily, we’ve got our hands on a review copy, courtesy of publishers Running Press, for an early look.
So how does the newest addition to the official HBO line of products measure up? Let’s break it down.
White Walker Unit sets to work on the Game of Thrones season 6 finale
Director Miguel Sapochnik shared this photo today of the clapperboard for the Game of Thrones season finale, with the filming dated November 3rd. The director of photography will be Fabian Wagner, who also handled those duties last year for “Hardhome” and “The Gift.” It’s great to see this pair re-teaming for the season 6 finale.
Interestingly, the filming unit is labeled “White Walker Unit,” instead of the usual Wolf or Dragon Unit. During season 3’s filming, there was also a “Raven Unit” but the show resumed having two main units after that season. Now we’re back to three, it seems:
[Updated!] Joe Naufahu’s Game of Thrones role revealed!
When the casting of Joe Naufahu was announced a month ago, Deadline confirmed the actor had a “multi-episode arc” on Game of Thrones but his character name remained a mystery. It was commonly speculated he would be playing a Dothraki khal.
We’ve done a little digging, and have discovered that according to his RedEleven agency CV, the actor will be playing the role of Khal Moro.
In the ASOIAF novels, Moro is a briefly mentioned khal who is allied to Drogo and attends the presenting of Daenerys to Drogo. It’s unclear at this point whether the character Naufahu is playing is a further developed version of that Moro (perhaps based on something from The Winds of Winter) or if Game of Thrones has borrowed the name for a Dothraki character of their own.
It’s also possible the show is just using Moro’s name for another book character like Jhaqo or Pono. They were Drogo’s riders who broke off to form their own khalasars after the khal could no longer ride, in the book A Game of Thrones.
Update: cut to a few hours later…and now Naufahu’s CV says he’s playing Khal Jhaqo. Strange that is said another ASOIAF character first, but anyway, Jhaqo makes more sense. Thanks, Greenjones, for letting us know it’s been updated!
