Mark Gatiss will appear in the fourth season of HBO’s "Game of Thrones". The British writer-producer-actor has written "Doctor Who" novels and episodes of the BBC cult classic, as well as acted on the long-running series (since 2007, he’s credited to three different roles on IMDB).

In addition, Gatiss is the co-creator and co-star of another Brit-based favorite, "Sherlock", where he plays Holmes’ dryly mysterious brother Mycroft.

The "Game of Thrones" crew did not reveal any details on the role he will be playing.

"Sherlock" Actor Returning to "Game of Thrones" for Season 5

The Iron Bank is going to keep a close eye on its investment in Westeros. Mark Gatiss is set to reprise his role as Tycho Nestoris, the world’s most fearsome banking executive, in the fifth season of HBO’s fantasy hit.

The "Sherlock" co-creator, writer, producer and actor is expected back on the "Thrones" set in Croatia next week.



Gatiss made this "Thrones" debut last season in the episode 'The Laws of Gods and Men' where his Braavosi bank team agreed to fund Stannis Baratheon‘s war effort to capture the Iron Throne from Lannister control (the Lannisters are in heavy debt to the Iron Bank, which will stealthily fund a debtor’s enemies if they are not repaid in a timely manner).

At the time, it wasn’t clear if the guest appearance was a one-time thing, and producers haven’t previously said whether he’ll be back one way or another.



Gatiss is set for another busy year, splitting his work on "Thrones", "Doctor Who" and "Sherlock".
