According to a report by WatchersOnTheWall, James Faulkner has been cast as Randyll Tarly, the head of the House Tarly and a fierce warrior. According to “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, on which the TV series is based, Randyll was the only one who was able to defeat Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) in a battle during his rebellion.
