5 Game Of Thrones Actors You Might Have Missed In Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Game Of Thrones Role - Syrio Forel

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Role - Bar Patron

Who doesn't love Syrio Forel? The master sword-fighter from Braavos is present throughout the first season of Game of Thrones as the fighting instructor of Arya Stark, teaching her the unorthodox combat style favoured by his people. 

Played by Cypriot actor Miltos Yerolemou, he steals numerous scenes in which he appears, with his chirpy demeanour inspiring numerous internet memes.

Syrio goes out in style (presuming that he goes out at all, given that his death isn't physically seen by the viewer), taking on Kingsguard knight Ser Meryn Trant and several guardsmen with just a wooden training sword as Arya flees.

Sadly, Yereolemou's role in The Force Awakens is much less substantial, as he appears only amongst the background clientele in Maz Kanata's bar, which is not at all suspiciously similar to the Mos Eisley Cantina that came before it...

As his face isn't visible in the various crowd shots, it can only be assumed that everyone's favourite dancing master is under heavy prosthetics. Perhaps the A Song Of Ice And Fire fan theories about him being Jaqen H'Ghar or another faceless man entirely have some credence to them and he is in disguise...
