There's more or less a full year before the widely popular and captivating HBO series returns to television, but that doesn't mean fans can't begin speculating about "Game of Thrones" season 7, which casting list has been leaked. While there are no specific names tagged in the list, the characters are described in detail down to their age range, so fans who are familiar with George R.R. Martin's books may now have clues as to who's coming on the show next year.
According to Zap2It, there are at least nine roles to be filled in the upcoming "Game of Thrones" season 7, which is reportedly the show's last bow. Before anyone gets sentimental, let's take a look at who may be joining Westeros next year.
First up, we have a 40-55 year old general, a senior military officer who is white and has a British accent. The casting list reads that the character will be required to film on the week of September 6, but no further that, which implies that the character will probably be a minor one. We also have a 60-year old priest who is also shooting for a week beginning September 22, meaning he's probably another minor character.
"Game of Thrones" season 7 requires a 35 to 45-year old warrior who must be, as reported, "a tough-looking bruiser with the attack skills of a pit bull." The actor who will fill this role must also be capable of fighting, meaning the character will most likely do some stunts and action scenes. Details about this specific role point to him as a Dothraki character, most likely reminiscent of Ned Stark and Khal Drogo. He will have a "considerable" amount of dialogue, meaning that his role would likely span more than just one episode.
According to Mirror, other roles need to be filled in "Game of Thrones" season 7 are city guard, merchant, gate guard, and lieutenant, and a mysterious "lovely lady" who is described as "an attractive young courtesan" who has the brains to match. As with a lot of "Game of Thrones" actors, this will require nudity, so they are looking to cast someone who really has the guys to go without garments. It is also rumored that she may be the love interest of Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister, as.
