The Emmy-winning British actor is no stranger to HBO, having starred in the critically-acclaimed and much-missed Deadwood. He has also appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, John Wick and on Showtime’s Ray Donovan.

McShane is one of the most recognizable actors to ink a deal with the HBO series — which is better known for casting relative unknowns and elevating them to fame — and is said to have relatively little screen time, but play a key role, in the forthcoming season.

Game of Thrones returns for its sixth season in the spring.
