Game Of Thrones Season 5: 10 Most Intriguing Castings So Far
2. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje As Malko
Reportedly Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje wasnt required to audition for his new role of Malko, so strong was his previous work. But Malko doesnt appear in the novels, meaning that he is an entirely new creation - something which fans will either rejoice over or groan about, depending on what side of the spectrum they lie. Adbaje said this of his character:
The character I play, its actually advantageous to me not to actually know too much. Thats all Im going to say.
So not much is known at all. Set to appear in the opening episode, Malko could quite literally be anybody, but given how impressive an actor Agbaje is its almost certain that Malko will have some importance; the show runners surely wouldnt render Agbaje to just a cameo performance, would they? Ultimately whatever the outcome for Malko, lets hope Agbajes boots dont get too big again should a return be needed. Everybody remembers his lack of appearance in the finale of Lost.
