The year 2021 has been eventful for Game of Thrones fans all over the world. HBO is celebrating the month of April as the Iron Anniversary on account of a decade of the fantasy series. The streaming giant is busy organizing various events and specials dedicated to Game of Thrones. However, HBO is steadily moving forward with the prequel show House of The Dragon. Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin announced another important role that has been cast for the show. Actor Fabien Frankel will be joining the series as Ser Criston Cole.
Martin wrote on his blog, Not a Blog:
âHe is the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven. He has no claim to lands or titles, all he has is his honour and his skill with sword and lance.
A challenger, a champion, cheered by the commons, beloved of the ladies. He is a lover (or is he?), a seducer (or is he?), a betrayer (or is he?), a breaker of hearts and a maker of kings. â
âFIRE & BLOOD readers know him as Ser Criston Cole. HOUSE OF THE DRAGON viewers will know him as FABIEN FRANKEL. In some of his other roles, Frankel has been the son of Dennis Franz (NYPD BLUE) and the lover of Emilia Clarke (LAST CHRISTMAS). And now he is getting tangled up with some more Targaryens. We shall see how that goes.
Welcome to Westeros, Fabien.
And do keep that sword sharp.â
