Game Of Thrones Spoilers: Show Casts Lost Vet In Pivotal New Role (That Isn’t In The Books!)

Spoilers

Game of Thrones is flipping the script in its fifth season.

While the show has largely followed the George R.R. Martin books upon which the HBO series was based, it is set to introduce a new character that never appeared in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (who famously played Mr. Eko on Lost) has landed the role of “Malko.” While no other details about the character are known, the actor confirmed the news himself.
