'UnREAL' star Freddie Stroma joins 'Game of Thrones'
Game of Thrones is about to get a little UnREAL.
Actor Freddie Stroma, who starred in Lifetime's critically acclaimed UnREAL this summer as the star of a Bachelor-like reality show, will be joining Game of Thrones in season six, USA TODAY has confirmed.
The actor, who is also known for playing Cormac McLaggen in the Harry Potter series, will be playing Dickon Tarly in the upcoming season. Fans may recognize that name as the younger brother of Samwell Tarly (John Bradley), the friend of Jon Snow and member of the Night's Watch. Sam joined the Watch because his father was disappointed in him as a man, and wanted his land and inheritance to go to his younger brother. At the end of Season 5, Sam left the Wall on a journey of his own, and fans might speculate that he'll be running into Dickon and perhaps other members of the Tarly family.
