James Cosmo
as Jeor Mormont
Character Overview: Known as “The Old Bear”, Jeor Mormont gave up his lands to serve as the 997th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch at the Wall. He is Brother of Lady Maege Mormont and father to Ser Jorah Mormont. Mormont is a fierce man, large and strong despite his age. He is best recognized by his large bald head, his large stature, and his tendency to wear large fur cloaks that indeed make him resemble a bear. Mormont commands a great deal of respect from the men of the Night’s Watch, and in some cases fear. Despite his fierceness and occasional abrasiveness, Mormont also demonstrates a great deal of wisdom, and even interpersonal, almost grandfatherly warmth. – Wikipedia
