This is the Red Viper.
Pedro Pascal from TV’s Graceland has been cast as Prince Oberyn Martell a.k.a. The Red Viper in season 4 of Game of Thrones. The Red Viper has a beef against the Lannisters, particularly their creature The Mountain. He’s also the father of those badass women, the Sand Snakes.
Looks like strong jawlines are a prerequisite for jobs on Game of Thrones.
Elsewhere on television: The Following starring Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy has probably the dumbest, most inept law enforcement agents of any TV show, and that includes shows where the cops are the comic relief. It’s painful how stupid they are, and the serial killer they’re after isn’t even particularly clever. Only our devotion to Kevin Bacon kept us watching (and Letterman saying Kevin Bacon should make a movie with Jon Hamm). Next to this show, Hannibal is brilliant.
Game of Thrones + Portlandia = Game of Portlandia.

Your Grace, his stare alone makes a great character for Season 4. I can’t wait how he and the Mountain fight to the death, Your Grace.

He doesn’t look much like the Oberyn I imagined.
Some fans on Tumblr aren’t happy about him either. They say it’s another case of favoring whiter-skinned actors when it comes to major character roles.

1. He’s Chilean.
2. The casting director has done a fantastic job so far, leave her alone.
