It looks like another familiar face will be joining Game of Thrones for season six.
According to the agency CV of British actor Richard E. Grant, the actor’s most recent television work is on Game of Thrones. A role is not listed, nor a specific director. No official casting announcement has been made, so this is a complete surprise.
An accomplished film and television performer, Grant recently starred in the series Dig and appeared in Downton Abbey, Doctor Who, and Girls. The actor rose to stardom in the modern classic Withnail & I, and has appeared in an eclectic variety of work since then, including Henry and June, L.A. Story, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Spice World, Gosford Park, and The Iron Lady. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. (Seriously, he’s in everything.)
