A Pocket Guide To Game Of Thrones’ New Cast Members

Know your Doran Martell from your Nym Sand

Game Of Thrones season five, which commences shooting in two shakes of a direwolf’s tail and takes inspiration from the most recent two books in George R.R. Martin\'s A Song Of Ice And Fire, will offer fresh opportunities to enjoy some of our favourite actors on screen before they’re inevitably torn apart by dogs, strangled with each others’ gizards or incinerated by a dragon. Life expectancy in Westeros being what it is, regular batches of new recruits are needed. Class of July 2014 doesn’t disappoint. Its blend of old favourites, fresh-faced up-and-comers and total newbies looks set to further enrich the byzantine schemes of the Seven Kingdoms, as Empire’s cast blow-by-blow reveals...

Warning: contains mild season four spoilers.

: The Welsh actor is a RADA alumnus (class of ’71) and veteran thesp who\'s still best-known and loved for his befuddled Everyman, Sam Lowry, in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. He’s played good guys (Pirates Of The Carribean), bad guys (Tomorrow Never Dies’s stealth-boating media mogul, Elliot Carver), both at the same (G.I. Joe: Retaliation), and Gustav Mahler (Bride Of The Wind), whose levels of villainy depend on how little you enjoyed learning the piano. Pryce was also terrific as pioneering shellshock doctor William Rivers in Gillies MacKinnon\'s underseen Pat Barker adaptation, Regeneration, and as Al Pacino’s diffident patsy in Glengarry Glen Ross.

: He’s playing the new High Septon of the Faith Of The Seven. Aside from taking charge of all septing in the area, Pryce’s character is a populist zealot of peasant stock who’ll be a power player in the sea port of King’s Landing.
