Jodhi May Will Play 'Maggy The Frog' In GAME OF THRONES Season 5
The Strike Back actress has been cast as the fortune-telling crone (they'll need some serious make-up!) from George R.R. Martin's A Dance With Dragons. Click on to find out how she'll factor into the story, with some mild SPOILERS...
We already knew that season 5 of HBO's Game Of Thrones would employ flashbacks for the first time, and since an actress has been cast as young Cersei, we had a pretty good idea what those flashbacks would entail. Now we're certain of it, as Jodhi May (Last of the Mohicans, Strike Back) has been bast as Maggy the Frog -- the hideous old witch that gives Cersei her troubling visions of the future. Since May is only 39 and far from hideous, we'll assume they plan on either transforming her with make-up, or going with a different look for Maggy altogether. Watchers On The Wall also report that Isabella Steinba will play Cersei's young friend (in the books she's named Melara Hetherspoon) who accompanies her on her visit to Maggy's hut. There's also a new trailer for the upcoming Blu-ray release of season 4 featuring a song from Hozier, which you can see below.
