A familiar face is returning to the “Game of Thrones” series to keep King’s Landing and Westeros in check.
Entertainment Weekly reports actor Mark Gatiss will reprise his role as Tycho Nestoris, the head of the Iron Bank, in the show’s fifth season. Tycho made his first appearance in the series last season in “The Laws of Gods and Men” episode.
Tycho denied Stannis Baratheon a loan to fund his rebel army in order to overthrow King Joffrey. Without giving too much away, Tywin Lannister may have told his daughter Cersei their family has some financial issues they should be concerned about, which could be where Tycho comes in.
Little is known about what’s to come in “Game of Thrones,” but actress Sophie Turner recently spoke about he reaction to seeing the script for the upcoming season.
The actress explained to HitFix the show is quickly diverging from the novels and her character’s storylines will be sure to surprise fans. Turner also admitted she stopped reading the George R.R. Martin’s saga because she didn’t want to get confused by the changes.
"I kind of read the 'Game of Thrones' books as the seasons [went on]," Turner said. "But now that the storyline and scripts are kind of going away from the books I decided I'm just going to read the scripts so I don't get confused and read the books later.”
"'Game of Thrones' is so unpredictable and it was a big surprise what is happening to her this season," Turner said later on in the interview. "I am so excited because it gives me the opportunity to work with new people and it goes in a completely different direction. I think the fans will really like where her storyline is going this season."
