HBO's "Game of Thrones" has added a pirate lord to the menagerie of characters suiting up for its upcoming second season.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting British actor Lucian Msamati has signed on to play Salladhor Saan, a sell sail pirate working for Lord Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane, "John Adams") and friend to Davos Seaworth the Onion Knight (Liam Cunningham, "Camelot").
Perhaps best known to American audiences for his work in HBO's "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," Msamati has appeared in multiple television and film projects in England, including an episode of "Doctor Who."
The actor joins fellow season two newcomers Michael McElhatton ("Fifty Dead Men Walking") as Roose Bolton, Robert Pugh ("Robin Hood," "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World") as Craster, Hannah Murray (the U.K. "Skins") as Gilly, Roy Dotrice ("Amadeus," "Beauty and the Beast") as Pyromancer Hallyne, Tom Wlaschiha ("Enemy at the Gates") as Jaqen H'gar, Gemma Whelan ("The Wolfman") as Yara Greyjoy, Carice van Houten ("Repo Men," "Valkyrie") as Melisandre, Gwendoline Christie ("The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus") as Brienne and Natalie Dormer ("The Tudors") as Margaery Tyrell.
The first season was awarded Outstanding New Program by the Television Critics Association and also picked up 13 Emmy nominations, including Best Drama Series, Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister), Writing in a Drama Series and Direction in Single-Camera Series. The Emmys will be announced Sunday, Sept. 18.
