While viewers are up-to-date with most of the A Song Of Ice And Fire plotlines in Game Of Thrones after Season 5, there are still a few loose ends to tie up. One of which regards House Greyjoy, who've been given the short end of the stick in terms of screentime after their pivotal role in Season 2. A recent casting call seemed to indicate this family would return, and now it appears the HBO show has found an actor to portray one of its most exciting and sinister characters.

Fan site Watchers On The Wall are claiming that the part of 'Euron Greyjoy' has been cast, after Danish actor Pilou 
Asbæk (Borgen) was spotted filming scenes with fellow cast members in Northern Ireland. If this is true, then Euron's arrival should set in motion a number of interesting storylines for next year. Book readers will be well aware of the Crow's Eye's ruthless personality - he's easily one of the most despicable characters author George R.R. Martin has created to date.

To those who know the character, do you think Asbæk is a good fit? The Danish star isn't the only new face headed to Thrones next year - joining veteran actors Max von Sydow and Ian McShane. Are you excited about the way Season 6 is shaping up so far? Be sure to leave your thoughts below!

Oh shit, I was starting to think the show wasn't even going to bother with this plotline!

But yeah seriously, I know makeup and effects can go a long way, but this guy is WAY more attractive than I ever pictured Euron to be haha.

For a second I thought that was actually Alfie Allen. Pretty damn spot on.

Why do so few people give non-JishWildling articles thumbs up to get them promoted more?

He looks just like Alfie Allen!!
@SauronsBANE: I think Euron is supposed to be really attractive LOL. It's what makes him so chillingly eerie, he's like Lucifer.

As a Dane I'm naturally excited about this! I've seen Pilou Asbæk in quite a lot of different roles and he's a really good actor, and an excellent addition to the ensemble cast! Also, as someone who prefers the books over the tv series, I'm also excited for the addition of Euron Greyjoy and all that that entails!

Surprised that they're keeping this storyline since they've cut ones much bigger than the kingsmoot.
