“I met Clive at the table-read on Wednesday; a huge presence and did a wonderful job with the script. He’ll be great,” author Diana Gabaldon wrote on her Facebook page on Thursday.
In “Game of Thrones” Season 3, Clive played Brynden “The Blackfish” Tully, the uncle of Tobias’ character, Edmure Tully. Like Tobias’s “GoT” character, Brynden hasn’t been seen since Season 3. He managed to get out sometime before the carnage that was the Red Wedding.
