FACT#99:
The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, best known as Mr. Eko from Lost, Simon Edibisi on Oz, and the Dark Elf Kurse in Thor 2: The Dark World has joined Game Of Thrones. He was a fan favorite on both Oz and Lost, so it'll be interesting to see what he does in GOT role.
For now, all we have is speculation on that role. It's been announced only as "Malko," a new character for the HBO series. Given the increasing number of locations in Westeros and Essos in Season 5, like Dorne, more Braavos than a single room, and Pentos, it's almost impossible to say-if you have any more information, we'd love to hear it.
Meanwhile, another new role we've already discussed may have been filled as well....
A few weeks ago, we mentioned a casting call for a character named Clea, a young prostitute who would have a conversation would Tyrion. A reliable but as-yet-unconfirmed source has placed Welsh actress Gwyneth Keyworth in that small role.
Keyworth has had a few roles in British film, television, and theater, and recently graduated from RADA, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. I know her best from her role as Marnie an adorable, profane young pregnant woman in the Season 2 finale of Misfits (NOTE: when I said "profane" I meant it. This clip and the one below are NSFW.) She'd join Iwan Rheon, Michelle Fairley, Josef Altin, and Nathalie Emmanuel as actors who transitioned from that show to GOT, while Francis Magee went the other way.
If her casting news is confirmed, and she can bring half that charm to her scenes with Peter Dinklage as she did on Misfits, I'll at least partially forgive Game Of Thrones for not finding a role for Robert Sheehan...yet.
