I must admit I don't watch GoT, but how odd! It seemed pretty definite he was in it, I thought?
I don't know how accurate IMDB is lately - I've come across a few things on there recently which are out of date, or wrong.

I don't watch the show (although I plan to at some point), but it seems Gatiss talked about his role in an interview at the end of February, so it'd be odd if his involvement had changed not two months later: http://winteriscoming.net/2014/02/24/mark-gatiss-talks-game-of-thrones-with-metro-uk/ Especially since I'm assuming that season 4 would already have been shot at that point. I don't know the books either, but maybe his character will only appear in later episodes?

Oh, and I wouldn't count on IMDb being terribly accurate. Any user can make suggestions to have credits changed or deleted, and I've found that most of the time they're accepted by the admins. I'm not sure just how thoroughly the sources for update requests are checked over there. It's a little bit like Wikipedia, really.

I've never read the books and never watched any of the show, tho my parents are fans.
I will certainly watch to see Mark.
When doies it air in the UK?

I love the show, but am lagging behind because Hubby refuses to watch it in English. Rightfully so, I think. The plot is very ... HBO-ish, which means compact, multi-layered, with loads of details that will become important three seasons later without ever being explained again. I can understand why he insists on following that in German.

I really hope Mark is still in it.

Mark will be there the next (sixth) episode!

I squealed like a little girl when I saw him in the previews!

Pity he only appeared in one episode this season. I hope he will back next season in a more extended role.
