De naam Syrio Forel zal je weinig zeggen, maar hij is dankzij zijn rol als zwaard meester Mario in Game of Thrones legendarisch geworden door zijn uitspraak What is the one thing we say to Death?. Any ways, deze acteur is nu toegevoegd aan de cast van Star Wars Episode VII. Hier mee is hij de tweede acteur uit Game of Thrones die in deze film gaat spelen, want eerder ging Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) hem voor.

Actor Miltos Yerolemou, best known for his role in the first series of fantasy drama Game of Thrones, has joined the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

He played expert and athletic swordsman Syrio Forel in Thrones and has taken on several other parts which involve sword fighting during his career.

His extensive experience will inevitably lead to speculation that he may use a lightsabre in the film.

However, his character in Star Wars is not thought to be a major one.
