The fifth season of Game of Thrones is upon us. Here’s a rundown of the new faces you’ll be seeing in Westeros.
Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell
Alexander Siddig plays Doran Martell – the Prince of Dorne and older brother of Oberyn Martell. Needless to say, he’s not too thrilled about how things worked out for Oberyn last season.
Toby Sebastian as Trystane Martell
Toby Sebastian portrays Trystane Martell. He’s young, but he’s also a Martell. Expect badass-ery.
Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon
Myrcella Baratheon as Nell Tiger Free. The actress replaced Aimee Richardson in the role.
DeObia Oparei as Areo Hotah
Oparei might be the only GoT actor whose real name sounds more Westerosi than his character’s name. That’s no easy feat.
Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow
Esteemed actor Jonathan Pryce takes on the role of religious zealot, the High Sparrow. Pryce was most recently seen portraying Cardinal Wolsey in the PBS miniseries Wolf Hall. The guy has a lot of experience portraying medieval religious figures.
Jessica Henwick as Nymeria Sand
It’s another Sand sister. Viewers will be spending a lot of time in Dorne on Game of Thrones Season 5.
Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand
Obara Sand is another of Oberyn’s many children. She’s every bit as badass as she looks.
Rosabell Laurenti Sellers as Tyene Sand
Don’t let Tyene’s pretty face fool you. She’s every bit as deadly as her father, the Red Viper of Dorne.
