Max von Sydow is taking on an intriguing role in “Game of Thrones” Season 6.
Max, an alum of “The Exorcist,” “Flash Gordon” and “Minority Report,” and a star of the upcoming “Star Wars Episode VII — The Force Awakens,” will play the Three-Eyed Raven, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Brandon Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick) and Hodor (Kristian Nairn) met the character at the end of Season 4, the last time the trio was seen. At the time, the character, who appeared in the roots under a tree, was played by Struan Rodger.
