Game of Thrones - Season 4 - Casting News - Russian actor Yuri Kolokolnikov cast as Styr

Nov 5, 2013

Just when you thought HBO’s Game of Thrones had finished announcing its season 4 cast, there is one more role left: Styr, the Magnar of Thenn.

He will be played by Russian actor Yuri Kolokolnikov. You’ve probably seen him in V tvoikh glazakh and Schastlivyy konets. Or perhaps Obrechyonnye na voynu? Okay, so Kolokolnikov may not be well known in the States. But he’s a longtime actor in his homeland, having appeared in more than a couple dozen features.

As for his character, Styr leads the Thenn, the most warlike tribe from beyond the Wall. At the end of the third season, the tribes are readying to potentially invade Westeros under the leadership of Mance Rayder (CiarĂ¡n Hinds) while spy-among-the-Wildlings Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was returned injured to Castle Black with news of their movements.

  1. Most of us thought this was going to be Joseph Gatt. But obviously not. I wonder what role Gatt will be playing now that's it's known he's not Styr.

  2. Gatt will be playing a Thenn, but just not the Magnar of Thenn Styr according to Winter-is-Coming. His source inside production said that the role is not in the books and not a major role as well.


    Sad that!
