There's one Westeros resident already in the cast, in the shape of Gwendoline Christie, but J.J. Abrams and his **Star Wars: Episode VII **casting team have not finished recruiting Game Of Thrones actors. Miltos Yerolemou has, according to the BBC, scored a small role in the new film.
Though production on the latest** Star Wars** has been underway for months (pausing recently to reconfigure schedules after Harrison Ford’s leg was broken on set), Abrams and co. are apparently still bringing actors aboard to supplement the cast, which already includes Ford, Christie, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels, Max Von Sydow, Domhnall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o, Oscar Isaac, Christina Chong, Crystal Clarke and Pip Anderson.
Details on Yerolemou’s role have yet to be revealed, to almost no-one’s surprise. But while you might remember him best as Syrio Forel, who taught Maisie Williams’ Arya Stark to swordfight in the first season of the show, the actor has had extensive fight training and other experience, leading to speculation that he may end up with a light saber in his hand.
Yerolemou’s currently at work on the TV adaptation of Wolf Hall alongside Mark Rylance and Jonathan Pryce. Star Wars: Episode VII, meanwhile, will be out on December 18, 2015.
