British actor James Cosmo, who is best known for playing Lord Commander Jeor Mormont on HBO?s hit series Game of Thrones, has been roped in for a crucial role in Dhanush?s upcoming, untitled Tamil film with director Karthik Subbaraj. James will reportedly play the antagonist in the film.
Subbaraj took to twitter to welcome James on board. He wrote: ?Welcome on board @MrJamesCosmo sir!! Very happy, honoured and excited to work with an actor who starred in legendary creations like #Braveheart #Troy #GameOfThrones and many more (sic)?.
Subbaraj had originally planned to rope in Al Pacino for the role. Unfortunately, he couldn?t get dates of the Scarface actor.
