Thanks to Jason and andiminga for the heads up.

First up, playing the role of Daario Naharis is Ed Skrein. Daario Naharis is a roguish and deadly sellsword who crosses paths with Daenerys. Ed Skrein is a British musician and actor. In his music career, he has released his own album and also worked with artists such as Foreign Beggars, Nathan Flutebox Lee, Asian Dub Foundation and Plan B while touring throughout the UK and Europe. He recently transitioned into acting and has appeared in the films Piggy and Ill Manors. You can follow Ed on Twitter here.

The other role is Grey Worm, who will be played by Jacob Anderson. Grey Worm is a captain of the Unsullied, a group of eunuch slave soldiers who are trained from childhood to excel in battle. Jacob Anderson is a young actor from London who has already appeared in numerous films and TV shows such as Adulthood, Chatroom, Episodes and Skins.

    I think Grey Worm was easy to cast and Anderson fits the part well. Unsullied are not huge men or ripped 300-type warriors. Perfect casting for the role in my eyes.


    Daario I was a bit surprised by seeing as the rumor was they wanted an ethnic or POC for the role. Ed SKrein certainly does not have an Ethnic or POC feel to him, but he still feels like Daario to me. He has the piercing blue eyes of Daario... Wow, those eyes. Spot on. He also has the swagger and athleticism of Daario or was described as lean and smooth. I wonder if they will give him a black wig and beard... I doubt the will do blue and gold, but maybe black.....

  3. Do you really wanna see more people turning away from GoT since the cast would keep growing and growing? Even GRRM will have problems to keep the killed/new-introduced ratio even. lol

  4. Sweet! I can see both doing well in their respective roles. Though I thought Daario would be a bit darker skinneed. I hope they keep his blue hair/beard but tone it down Jaqen.
