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!

Hmmm! Now I'm trying to work out which character he will be playing!

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 ).

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!

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.

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.

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?)

**Posted by Jacco111** July 22, 2013 2:36 pm

I could see him as Mace Tyrell.

**Posted by Davina** July 22, 2013 9:21 pm

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!

What book did season 3 finish with? Mark is such an awesome actor. Can't wait to see him in it!

**Posted by Jacco111** July 23, 2013 1:26 pm

Season three finished roughly halfway the 3rd book 'A Storm of Swords'

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!

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

**Posted by Jacco111** September 19, 2013 8:39 pm

For series 4? They are going trough it fast then.

**Posted by Michele** September 19, 2013 11:48 pm

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!

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?

**Posted by tonnaree** April 19, 2014 10:33 pm

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.
