The other day we revealed that Skins' Hannah Murray had joined the cast of Game Of Thrones as Gilly. Now THR are reporting that her "master", the vile Craster has also been cast..
HBO’s Game of Thrones has founds its Craster in Robert Pugh.
The Welsh actor is joining the swelling cast of the Emmy-nominated HBO drama based on the George R.R. Martin novels as Craster, the tenuous ally to the Night’s Watch.
Old Craster is a Wildling but maintains an uneasy alliance with The Nights Watch and allows them to rest at his stronghold Craster's Keep which he resides in with his 19 wives. I realize I might have been a bit spoilery while reporting on Gilly's casting so lets just say there is something far more sinister about that whole situation. The character appears early on in George R.R Martin's second novel in the
Song Of Ice And Fire series;
A Clash Of Kings so expect to meet the old git at a similar point in the second season of the show.
Pugh has previously appeared in
The Ghost Writer and
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World as well as episodes of
Dr Who and
Torchwood.
