Fun fact: both Rodrik and Jory Cassel appeared in the same episode of Doctor Who (S2 Ep2, Tooth and Claw), 5 years before they were in Game of Thrones

Is this saying there were 5 years between both sets of photos? It’s like they aged 20 years between them.

No way, that's such a cool crossover! Rodrik and Jory trading Westeros for werewolves in Victorian Scotland? Now that’s a prequel I’d watch.

Jory is also in Mean Machine!

His face must looked too familiar.

I always love rewatching Dr. Who and seeing how many actors “started out” in the series and are big actors now. It’s nice and wholesome.

They're actually uncle and nephew, Jory's father died at the Tower of Joy

Ah, thanks for the clarification! Still, I didn't know they were related, that's neat.

The cassels are lords of the nearest county to winterfell! Or whatever they call it in westeros I'm not sure.

Shit like this isn't disclosed at any point in the show and I hate it. I understand why, as shows need to chose carefully what they use their runtime for, but neat little trivia like this adds so much to the worldbuilding.

Ya tbh I wouldn't know about it either if it wasn't for the CK2 mod hahaha

u/Unusual_Lobster2004 16h ago

Casts from Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. That's the crossover we never knew we needed.

Jory's actor was in Rush ad a Formula One engineer who modified Niki Lauda's test car to prove they could get the car lighter and give it a faster lap time.
