The “Deadwood” alum is returning to the network for the hit fantasy series’ sixth season. Even though his character is supposed to be key to one of the season’s plot lines, he isn’t expected to have a lot of screen time.

The real question is: who’s he going to play?
One thing you can rest assured of: Television is still a business, and Game of Thrones has been very, very good for HBO’s business. Will events from The Winds of Winter and the final book (which is no doubt still years away) A Dream of Spring be spread across three seasons instead of two? Next, he can be seen as a corrupt judge in Bolden and opposite Patrick Wilson in “The Man On Carrion Road“.
McShane launched to American TV stardom by playing a mesmerizingly homicidal frontier kingpin Al Swearengen on Deadwood, then had roles in films Kung Fu Panda, Sexy Beast, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, John Wick and many others.
Emmy victor Ian McShane will join the cast of “Game of Thrones” season 6 in a mystery part so let the speculation begin….
“Seven-seasons-and-out has never been the conversation”.
