Seven Hells! Game of Thrones Has Recast a Key Role with Max von Sydow

Game of Throneshas added another face to its cast...to play someone we've already seen!

Veteran actor Max von Sydow has signed on to the show to play the Three-Eyed Raven, EW reports. The magical, rather twiggy-looking guide for Bran Stark was previously seen in the Season 4 finale, played by Stuan Rodger.

Von Sydow's casting definitely confirms that the young Stark will be returning to the show, after taking a season off.
