Game Of Thrones actor Kristofer Hivju really deserved a lot more than his role as Connor Rhodes in Fate Of The Furious. He is a prodigiously talented actor, who managed to turn Tormund Giantsbane from a vicious Wildling villain into one of the most charismatic anti-heroes (and cult-beloved figures) in Westeros.

He should have been cast here in a similar way and given a role that would allow him to be charming and thoroughly reprehensible at the same time. Instead, he's relegated to being an interesting-looking head henchman, without much to boast his fearsomeness (since he fights once and is beaten in seconds).

In essence, all he is is a trigger man, killing Elena without emotion and leaving only one question: why a so-obviously Nordic man is given the decidedly British name Connor Rhodes...
