George R.R. Martin just released another Froggy casting clue titles...
'A Lighter Shade of Pale'
Thrice nominated, once victorious. A double threat. He wrote the script for his own wedding. Has struggled against the Spider's sort, taken on Santa, caught a tiger by his tail. Never reads the same book twice. Last seen dancing home.
Hvae to run so no time to attempt this one right now, but try for yourself and guess the new cast member and their role on Game of Thrones.

***UPDATE***
Others have suggested Michael McElhatton as Roose Bolton (maybe Pyat Pree).
The man certainly fits the clues and looks the part!
- "Thrice nominated, once victorious." = 3 nominations for best actor and 1 win.
- “wrote the script for his own wedding” = Wrote and acted in Fergus’ Wedding
- "Taking on the Spider's sort" = was in a play called "Little Malcom and His Sturggle Against the Eunuchs"
- "taken on Santa" = The Santa Incident he acted in.
- “caught a tiger by the tail” = was in The Tiger’s Tail
- "Never reads the same book twice" = He Chapter 64 (Arya 10) "[Roose]Bolton turned a few more pages with his finger, then closed the book and placed it carefully in the fire." in ACOK
- "last seen dancing home" = last work listed on IMDB is Shadow Dancer
Plus there is a spoilery more appropriate answer to "Last seen dancing home" I won't post.
*****UPDATE*****
Michael McElhatton is indeed Roose Bolton!
You can see his show reel HERE. The audio is just ridiculously poor, but you can still get an idea of his mannerisms and ability.
"You've solved another one.
It's the distinguished Irish actor MICHAEL MCELHATTON. He will indeed be playing pale-eyed Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort"
