Well, characters do not tend to survive long in Game of Thrones... better to keep that in mind!
Great news!

Oh, I know. I don't have much hope, that his character might survive the season, but nevertheless I'm really looking forward seeing him!

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
I haven't read book 4 yet, so no clue. Maybe there will be an announcement at the comic con tomorrow at the Game of Thrones panel (and hopefully there will be a lot of announcements at the Sherlock panel today ).

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
Oh my god!!!! I'm currently reading the books but haven't seen the series yet. Does each book equal one season?
He'd be lucky to survive an episode the way people get killed off in that series. Can't wait!

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
It's been two years since I read all the books so I'm blanking on who he could be playing.
Excited none the less.

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
Each book lasts more than 1 series. I'm still on book 2 at the moment then I'm going to download series 1-3.

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
Ah, that's cool, I think he is a great actor. I kinda wonder which character he will play though. (Did they say something about it on Comic-con?)

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
Now I'm going to put my thinking cap on. I might have to watch the first 3 series though to see where they have actually got up to!

Thanks. I'm reading that one at the moment so I'm safe from spoilers. Now just have to get my husband to hurry up so we can watch them!

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
He will play Tycho Nestoris, a representative of the Iron Bank of Braavos. As I read the book I can totally see him in this role... Can't wait

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
I heard something like they were combining two roles together or something. So he's playing Tycho but they have combined another city representative into the same role.
I haven't got that far yet so better get reading!

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
I know nothing about Game of Thrones but I've read that season four has already premiered. I was wondering how big Mark's role actually is and whether his character was already shown. If so, how was it? Any Game of Thrones fans here to share with some information?

Re: Mark Gatiss confirmed for 4th series of Game of Thrones!!!
This credit is no longer on his IMDB and he wasn't in the first two episoes. Don't know if he could still show up.
