Together with Ed Sheeran, New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is one two high-profile celebrities who will have cameos in Game of Thrones season 7. (And there are rumors of more.) Talking to Sports Illustrated, Syndergaard said that being on the show was âa dream come trueâ and revealed more details about his role.

âI think itâs the greatest TV show of all time, so just to be able to say I was in Game of Thrones is an unbelievable feeling.â We can imagine.
Syndergaard was on set in Spain for âone long dayâ in November of last year, filming in the village of CĂĄceres. While he didnât say what other characters were involved in his scene (âI really want to, though.â), he did reveal that he plays âa Lannister general.â He certainly has the hair for it.
Whatâs more, Syndergaard admitted that his character, who has no lines, either kills something or dies, âmaybe both.â
Â
Before Syndergaard left, Sports Illustrated also got him to play a little game where he went through the Mets rotation and assigned each of them a Game of Thrones character.
Finally, the most important question: did Syndergaard swipe anything from the set? âI wanted to take a couple swords, but they didnât let me.â
We donât know when Syndergaard will pop up, but weâll be looking out for him when season 7 hits the air on July 16.
