There’s two new players on the Game of Thrones board in season three portrayed 由 a pair of respected British actors: Wildling leader Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds) and Tyrell matriarch Lady Olenna (Diana Rigg).
“In ‘Game of Thrones,’ it’s how clever they are to keep all the balls juggling in the air as they keep spreading out further,” he says. “How they link them in and let them go again.”
It's unusual that a new cast member’s introduction scene is the first scene we film with them, but that seems fitting for one of the season’s most anticipated new characters.
