AccessHollywood broke the news many have been waiting for.... There will be a Pod cast! (Sorry for the bad pun)
Peter Dinklage is getting some help as his “Game of Thrones” character, Tyrion Lannister, heads to King’s Landing for Season 2.
Access Hollywood can exclusively reveal that actor Daniel Portman has been cast as Tyrion’s squire, Podrick Payne.
Podrick is actually in the first book in author George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, but was not shown in Season 1 of the HBO series.

The third casting announcement today is Pyat Pree will be played by Ian Hanmore.
HBO’s slowly doling out a few new casting notes, which is always exciting! This time around, we’ve got a look at another Qartheen character to join Nonso Anozi in that part of Daenerys’s story on the continent of Essos: actor Ian Hanmore will play Pyat Pree (HBO writes Pyatt, which may be the official spelling for the series, but we’ll go with his book spelling). Pyat Pree is one of the warlocks of Qarth, who legend claims wield great powers thanks to a sorcerous potion they drink called the shade of the evening.

A warlock, huh? That's casting news I can get behind. It's not just a new character, but a new type of character. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThis picture of Ian Hanmore is a little "colder".

Very happy to find out Pod will be in the series. I was worried after he did not turn up in Season One, but I can understand why they delayed his part in the series.
ReplyDeleteI never had good visual of Pyat or Pyatt Pree honestly, and I'm not familiar with the actor. When I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was Armin Shimerman. XD I was confused.....
And creepier! XD
ReplyDeleteYep! I can see Ian as Pyat, but not the smiley version in the agency photo.
ReplyDeletethanks :D
ReplyDeletereally loving all these castings!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePodrick!!!!!!! Yay I love how he starts of very minor and become more important in later books
ReplyDeleteReminds me again that I need to continue faster with A Clash of Kings. Thanks for the casting news! :)
ReplyDeleteRead the books a long time ago! Glad it is on HBO!
ReplyDeletethanks! :D
ReplyDeletecool! :D can't wait for 2nd season!! :D
ReplyDeleteLol, agreed on all counts (especially the Armin Shimerman thing). I'm ecstatic about Pod. As for Pyat Pree, I remember imagining him kind of like Varys. Short, plump, bald.
