Lost and Oz's Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje joins season 5


Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies

He'll be playing an original character called Malko.

To be accurate, that's a rumor that Hollywood Reporter is running with; all that's known for sure is that he's taken a role.

I have this image in my head of HR getting a report from somebody who couldn't pronounce "Moqorro", then saying to themselves "Malko? Nobody of that name in the books..."

I think it's very likely he will be Moqorro. He could be the Captain of the Cinnamon Wind, but it seems like too small a role. They've already made a few name changes like Vargo Hoat becoming Locke and Asha becoming Yara. And his acting ability and notoriety suggest that he won't just be some other random bit part such as a ship captain Arya meets in Braavos. There's too many characters in the books for me to believe they thought they needed to invent a new one. Other characters such as Mago, Duck, Haldon, Brown Ben Plumm, Marwyn, or Alleras make less sense, though I wouldn't rule anything out.



That said, I don't think that means anything for Victarion, unfortunately. They could easily still write him out. They could merge his and Euron's storylines. However I did notice in season 1, Tyrion made a reference to Theon's uncles burning the Lannister fleet. I may have misheard, but I believe he used the plural, meaning he'd have to have at least 2. Euron is pretty much a sure thing. That could mean Victarion, Damphair, The Reader, other, a combination of them... Or maybe Dan and DB didn't realize at the time that they'd be writing them out.

They may have used the plural for the Greyjoy uncles so that there could be a call back if they needed , but given the seven season idea, the Greyjoy uncles seem less and less likely as time goes on...

He was my fan casting for Thoros for the longest time, eventhough he fits Moqorro's description to a T.

I mistrust D&D so much now that it honestly wouldn't surprise me if he was just playing a random pit fighter or some shit. It wouldn't be the first time those 2 waste the talents of a big name (remember Burn Gorman?)

I really hope he won't be reduced to a random pit fighter... He's PERFECT for Moqorro, or at least how I envisioned him. Like spot on.

Well at least one Greyjoy will be in season 5.

In an interview for a film , he is in, Alfie Allen let's on that he has already spent a week filming

for season 5.

So I figure the 'Reek' story will play out as per book, tho , of course, we don't know where that

story goes.

Disappointed no one seems to have gotten anything from Gemma Whelan when she was in Germany for

Ringcon. (Alfie was actually there too.)

I am gonna guess she is indeed in season 5 with Asha's role from the books.

Well the story with Stannis at least.

Karl was not such a minor character - he was the main villain in the Craster subplot (1 episode in season 3 and 2 in season 4). He's not such a big name that the role would be too minor for him. It's not like they hired Robert Downey Jr. or Christopher Lee to be in three episodes.
