Game of Thrones casts Ian McShane in season 6 mystery role
Ian McShane is coming to Westeros! The Emmy-winning British actor is joining GOT's season 6. The move returns the former Deadwood star to HBO for a role on the international fantasy sensation.The show's tight-lipped production will not reveal any details about McShane's character.
GOT is preparing to dive headlong into narrative territory not yet revealed in author George R.R. Martin's novels. McShane launched to American TV stardom by playing a mesmerizingly homicidal frontier kingpin Al Swearengen on Deadwood, and then had roles in films like Kung Fu Panda, Sexy Beast, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and John Wick, making him one of the most recognizable actors to ever sign on with the series.
Earlier this week, HBO's programming president Michael Lombardo revealed that the network plans at least eight seasons of the show, a bump from the oft-reported seven season plan.
