He will now appear as one of the main characters in the upcoming Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight.Announcing the news he will play Ser Duncan the Tall in the Sky Atlantic series, he wrote on Instagram: “Truly Honoured and still in disbelief really, to be chosen to bring Ser Duncan the tall from the page to the screen.
“I’ve been an intense fan from the “Red wedding” to “Battle of the Bastards” and I’ve now fallen in love with A Knight of the seven kindgoms and Dunk the Lunk himself. “I’ll do everything I can to do justice to Dunk. It’s actually indescribable to get the chance to enter George R.R. Martin’s incredible world and I wanna thank everyone at HBO and Lucy and Emily at @lucybevancasting for putting their faith in me for this.”He went on to say: “I also wanna thank Ami, Morris and Lisa herself at the @lisarichardsagency for not just this, but everything the last two years. ‘Oak and Iron, guard me well, or else I’m dead, and doomed to hell.’.
