British actor Clive Standen, who most recently appeared [as Gawain] in Starz’s short-lived Camelot, has let slip on Twitter that he has heard the names of three actors that will be added to the Game of Thrones cast for season two. He calls the news “massive” and reveals that one of the 3 appeared with him on Camelot, while another appeared in some other Arthurian film or TV show.
Here are the tweets:
@CliveStanden: Just heard some massive casting news for season 2 of GOT’s…3 amazing actors (one Camelot alumnus) great choices
@CliveStanden: …Actually 2 Camelot alumni…but only one from our show

Could he be hinting at fellow Camelot alums James Purefoy (for Mance Rayder or Stannis) or Eva Green (as Melisandre)?
The second tweet sounds like he could be referring to Merlin that recently wrapped filming Season Four. Of course there are MANY Camelot/Arthurian movies and series in the recent past he could mean. Any opinions or good casting ideas? Sound off.
