Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlthough not an actor I am too familiar with, he looks the part and I am glad to have th efirst big role cast for Season 3!
Huzzah!
Oh yes the Blackfish is a fan favourite, sure Clive will do very well in the role.
ReplyDeleteDon't know him either but I agree, he looks the part! Riverrun!
ReplyDeleteI think I saw him on Cracker back in the 90's but damned if I recall him! XD
ReplyDeleteI do vaguely remember him from Identity (with Aidan Gillen), The Wolfman, The 13th Warrior and The Devil's Whore, where he was cast by Nina Gold!
I'm not familiar with the actor, but he looks the part!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just saw him in one of the Sherlock Holmes films last week.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, but this I don't get:
ReplyDelete"A skilled and experienced fighter who is invaluable to King Robb Stark as an adviser and captain of the outriders."
So why haven't we seen him before?
Great casting. He also looks the part.
ReplyDeleteHe does look the part... and since I love Blackfish as a character, I am very glad with the choice. Let's hope this is another GoT casting triumph.
