As the fans are bracing themselves for the premiere of "Game Of Thrones" Season 6, new faces are reportedly joining the HBO's show.
Recent reports stated that Paul Rattray, who is best known for his role in 2004 "Creep," will appear in the upcoming season of "Game Of Thrones." The British actor is likely to play the role of Karstark's son, who is a northern Lord in his thirties or forties and rules a vassal house household with a castle stronghold, Watchers On The Wall reported.
Rattray's character will be named Harald, a ruthless and calculating Lord. He will appear in three episodes. Viewers of the show remember that back in season 3, Robb had foolishly killed elder Karstark to impress his father due to which he had lost the military support of the Karstark family.
A child actor has also joined the cast of the hit fantasy series. A girl named Annette Hannah has reportedly landed the role of a character named Francis in the show. She also mentioned Lena Headey, Anton Lesser and Julian Glover on the website of her performing arts school, which triggered the speculation that her character will be seen along with Cersei, Pycelle, and Qyburn respectively and will be present in King's Landing.
Meanwhile, Ian McShane, who was earlier reported to have joined the show, has dished out some details about his roles. The actor was a guest on BBC Breakfast, where he was questioned vehemently about his role in the popular fantasy series.
Although the actor managed to dodge most of the questions, he did give away a major hint when he said that his character is an ex-warrior who has become a peacenik and will bring back a much loved character who is believed to be dead.
Meanwhile, for the first time since the show's debut, HBO will not be sending episodes of "Game Of Thrones" season 6 to press members and critics ahead of their air date. HBO programming president Michael Lombardo told Entertainment Weekly that they will not send out press copies this year anywhere in the world. Check out "Game Of Thrones" season 6 trailer below:
