Owen Teale cast in Thrones?
While trawling the web for any interesting Thrones news, I discovered this blog post that indicates that, Welsh actor and Tony award winner, Owen Teale has been cast in Game of Thrones. A Belfast photographer ran into Teale on the streets and asked if he would mind posing for a photograph. During the conversation, Teale mentioned he was in town to work on Thrones. Despite the second-hand nature of this report, I’d say it is pretty solid. Nevertheless, I’m going to file it under rumors for now, but I’ve dropped a line to HBO for official confirmation.
Winter Is Coming: The question is, what role is Teale playing? His age and looks scream Kevan Lannister to me. I’ve mentioned before that I think Kevan will be held back until a later season, so I would be surprised if he has been cast as Kevan. But he looks a lot like I pictured Tywin’s younger brother to look. Other possibilities of characters we know are confirmed to be appearing in season one include Ilyn Payne, Tobho Mott or maybe a recast Illyrio.
