But wait, there’s more! Just when you thought HBO’s "Game of Thrones" had finished announcing its season 4 cast, there is one more role left: Styr, the Magnar of Thenn.
He will be played by Russian actor Yuri Kolokolnikov. He's not well known here in the U.S., but he's a longtime actor in his homeland having appeared in more than a couple dozen feature films.
Some of his biggest are V tvoikh glazakh, Schastlivyy konets and Obrechyonnye na voynu.
As for his character, Styr leads the Thenn, the most warlike tribe from beyond the Wall.
At the end of the third season, the tribes are readying to potentially invade Westeros under the leadership of Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds) while spy-among-the-Wildlings Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was returned injured to Castle Black with news of their movements.
