"Game of Thrones" Casts "Rome" Actor as Mance Rayder -- EXCLUSIVE

The biggest new "Game of Thrones" role is going to…
Ciarán Hinds!
The "Rome" actor has been cast as Wildling leader Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall. Rayder has united the disparate clans of the Far North behind a single mission: To attack The Wall.
He’s been frequently referenced (though unseen) in the HBO hit fantasy drama’s first two seasons. In the second season finale, undercover Night’s Watchman Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was being taken to meet Rayder.
The casting caps months — years, really — of online speculation about who would play Rayder. For awhile, Hinds’ "Rome" co-star James Purefoy received some fan votes, though he’s booked on Fox’s "The Following".
