A casting agency has put out urgent calls for extras, who will feature in the third season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, currently filming in Northern Ireland.
They need male cellists, who have “medieval or period faces (ie. long hair and beard)”, and they also need men who can film at night, appear in a battle and… are missing a leg.
Here’s the casting call in full:

Actually, it means two things: the show will then go downhill for a few years afterwards. But for now, let’s just focus on the Red Wedding.
