Mehr characters cast for Game of Thrones season 5 

Our sources have informed us that Dutch fencing teacher and sometime actor Mishael Lopes Cardozo has been cast for 

The actor filmed earlier this week in Belfast. He has a speaking role, and it is rumored that he is playing a brothel guard. It is unknown at this time whether or not his fencing skills will come into play.

Mishael will share a small scene in episode 5 of the upcoming season with longtime cast members Peter Dinklage and Conleth Hill.

Last month we reported that there was a casting call for two street toughs who would pick on a main cast member. According to his CV, London-based actor Tom Fava has been cast as one of these thugs.

The CV lists Michael Slovis as the director, meaning that Fava will likely appear in episode 5.01, 5.02, or both. It is unconfirmed which main cast member Fava and his partner will interact with at this time, but we do know that the shooting location was Croatia.

Northern Irish actress Emma Maguire has been cast in the role of a “Winterfell Worker”, according to her CV.

The Boltons were last seen approaching the ruined castle at the end of season 4, so it is likely she will appear in some capacity (whether background or featured extra) alongside them there.

And finally, according to his CV, Italian-born actor Gianpiero Cognoli has been cast as Master Eaton for the upcoming season.

The CV lists Jeremy Podeswa as the director, meaning that Cognoli will likely appear in episode 5.05, 5.06, or both. Strangely, although slave owners in Essos are referred to as “Masters”, “Eaton” would seem to be quite an un-Essosi name. Of course, there is no guarantee as yet that he is playing a slave master.

The references to directors should be taken with a pinch of salt, as it can often be the case that the director listed on a CV is merely a placeholder. Scenes can also be shifted around between episodes. Thanks to

That was the first thing I thought! Doesn’t she look like Maisie.

Oh god…that’s a possibility. Particularly given that they’ve taken to using generic names so we can’t guess who people are until they are revealed.

Ms. Maguire’s CV says she is willing to do nude scenes, and she’s nineteen, and short–I can’t see her doing physical labor as a ‘worker’.

Tyrion and Varys will be still together by episode 5? I certanly didn’t expect that. Maybe there is some hope for the Griffs after all?

It is interesting that Miguel Sapochnik and David Nutter are not listed in none CV yet. Maybe that’s why Michael Condron’s CV does not suggest that Bowen Marsh would be in episode 9/10.

Mishael Lopes Cardozo (and his truly epic beard) being cast as a brothel guard wouldn’t inspire much curiosity from me … except for the (tentative) news that his scene will be in Episode 5.

I had assumed that Tyrion and Varys would have already been separated by that point in the season. I suppose that the brothel that Cardozo’s character is guarding could be the brothel where Tyrion is kidnapped by Jorah, at which point they would continue on to Meereen and Varys would head elsewhere (back to Westeros?) But how does that fit with the reports that Peter Dinklage and Iain Glen were filming scenes on a river for a set piece that sounded very much like the Sorrows? Wouldn’t Episode 6 or beyond be a bit late in the season for that particular sequence, especially since we have circumstantial evidence that they are going going to be captured by slavers at some point? Or do we have the timeline scrambled? This is all exciting news, but we’re working with fragments here.

Emma Maguire being cast as a “Winterfell Worker” does raise my suspicions that she could be

fArya, especially because I do see the resemblance she bears to Maisie. The generic description doesn’t mean much (see Iwan Rheon initially being cast as ‘Boy’.

All the same, I’m cognizant of the fact that we’re being hyper-vigilant here, so I don’t want to jump to conclusions.

Tom Fava as the street tough who filmed in Croatia for Episode 1 or 2 leads me to believe that his character is either going to show up in

Braavos and interact with Arya, or Meereen and interact with one of the characters there. Episode 1 or 2 is too early for him to be harassing Sam in Braavos, as some were speculating. That’s assuming that Sam goes to Braavos at all, of course.

Though as Cian notes, the episode designations should be taken with a grain of salt.

I had the same thought many others seem to have had regarding Emma Maguire.

When I saw “Winterfell Worker,” my first thought, keeping in mind how Iwan Rheon was originally billed, was, “ooooo…could it be?” Then, I saw her picture and thought, “yep, she definitely resembles Maisie.” I so hope we’re right!!!

Well then… will they meet or won’t they? Not something I was considering, but

will Varys and Mormont nearly meet in the brothel? I guess they won’t leave Tyrion alone to inner monologue for a moment, he will go directly from the Spider to the Bear? If the Bear harms a hair on the Spider’s bald head though-

She’s probably just a random worker with maybe some lines. But, I don’t think that everybody who is in the northern storyline has potential to be

Or else, I’d wonder if Yara could play her too.

I agree with you the moment I read winterfell worker I said harrr !!! but when I saw the picture !! she could easily be

FArya she even looks like maisie in someway

EDIT: Varys and Tyrion together in episode 5?! This makes no sense (since Tyrion was alone with Jorah on the Rhoyne). I’m going to guess that it’s wrong?

She’s probably just a random worker with maybe some lines. But, I don’t think that everybody who is in the northern storyline has potential to be

Or else, I’d wonder if Yara could play her too.

I have no idea what you mean by that. This… doesn’t even make any sense. Yara can’t play any role, she’s a character, not an actress.

Obviously, they need an actress for this role, and this actress has to be quite young and have a certain look. So… no, not “everyone in the northern storyline”, if you mean every actor, can play that role. Only females of a certain age range can, preferably short-ish and with brown hair.

I think Varys will take over (I guess not share, or we would have heard about Roger Allam) Illyrio’s role, and send Tyrion on to Dany with some anonymous non-Griffs (who will be saved for later). Tyrion will recklessly pull over for brothels/repeating the same phrase endlessly and get snatched up.

Right? We don’t have proof of Varys on the road with Tyrion, do we? Varys should go to Pentos and stop there, and then jetpack wherever he can add mystery.

I know they’re going to be headed in different directions but I also thought Jaime and Tyrion could run into each other again and have the Tysha conversation. I know, I know, it’s impossible, and the ship has sailed literally/figuratively.

No way she’s Fake Arya. That spot’s reserved for Brian Blessed or Conan Stevens

Maybe she is just a random worker with probably some lines, but this is the first actor I’ve seen who I thought could be that particular character.

But that physical similarity can’t just be a coincidence, surely?

It could just be a coincidence, but that doesn’t mean it is.

have Jorah kidnap Tyrion before the Rhoyne explaining why Varys would be in such a late episode

a casting call went out for a boy between 15 and 18 and a guy between 35 and 45 (both actors must be welling to dye their hair with the color blue )

^ still waiting for the day I enter TWOTW and see this thing , ): we didnt gave up yet ): we are still here ):

a worker can one day grow up to be a lady of a castle and make a lot of troubles

Shuffling around events like that could easily happen. I think your particular idea makes a lot of sense if

G/YG are cut. Tyrion and Varys get to Pentos, Varys drops some knowledge bombs, Tyrion wanders into a brothel, gets kidnapped by Jorah and work their way to Volantis for passage back to Mereen.

Of course, the Volantis news a while back specified a brothel (if I remember correctly), so I’m not entirely sure. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see how everything is arranged.

There’s no reason that Varys can’t fill Tyrion in on a bit of information…

Like a secret that Jamie kept from Tyrion. I mean, what’s Tyrion got to live for, if not to look for his wife? Varys is going to give him SOMETHING. Maybe that, maybe details on Dany, details on Ageon or on Quentyn even? Info on dragons? Tyrion likes dragons. We’re going to be going off book somehow… but Varys is going to spill something…

I do agree that Varys and a jetpack would be nice….

What a great job has D&D done by keeping secret their cast of Mads Mikkelsen as EG

Is there any chance Master Eaton is a typo and he’s supposed to be Maester Eaton? Just a thought since that doesn’t make sense as an Essos name.

I’m glad not to be the only one to have the fArya thought when it comes to Winterfell worker. I’m not getting my hopes too far up though.

We won’t hear the name uttered, it exists solely as a pun.

Remember the casting call for the two slave masters who get killed by dragons posted here a few weeks ago. One of them gets eaten, hence the name Eaton.

Did anyone but me think that a Greyjoy had been cast when first seeing that picture of Cardozo?

New photos from Sibenik. Tycho, Mace, Meryn and extras.

Did anyone see the picture of Mishael Lopes Cardozo and immediately scream “Vic is cast, GET HYPE”, before reading the paragraph?

That’s some good news reporting there! Long live scoops and bottom supporting

So that’s what they are using that square for; the Iron Bank entrance. I imagine we’ll see Tycho and Mace converse from the docks to here in a continuous scene. We had seen pre-production reports about this place, hope it’s reflected when the article is written.

BTW, if someone can spot the director, we may know when in the season Mace visits Braavos.

I love Meryn Trant. He’s so easily hateable. He’s also the only minor recurring character I can think of that’s been in all 5 seasons. Since we saw him in Braavos escorting Mace (instead of Raff the Sweetling escorting Harys), it became so obvious that he’s getting Raff’s fate from the TWOW “Mercy” chapter, at the hands of Arya. It’s perfect! Even better than Raff in terms of revenge; he killed Syrio Forel, her dancing master, and although she doesn’t know it, he mistreated her sister repeatedly. I’m really looking forward to that scene.
