GOT Rumor

[shipperx]

Hope this is true.    It's a book detour that could be easily explained if they wanted to and I've been hoping would happen because it would a) make sense  b) I'd simply like it.

Anyway, from Winteriscoming.net. a rumor:

A Familiar Face Returning to Game of Thrones?

It appears the Faceless Man known to viewers as Jaqen H’ghar may be seen again.

According to the German agency of Tom Wlaschiha, the actor is shooting a 2014 episode of the crime solving series Tatort entitled, “Borowski und die armen Kinder von Gaarden, ” and after that, in August, he’ll begin filming on Game of Thrones. The agency notes that Tom is in the main cast. Given that the website updates their News sections regularly with 2014 projects, and that Wlaschiha has appeared in several notable productions since filming GoT in 2011 (with his appearance airing in 2012), it does look like Arya’s mentor is returning to the show next year.

Wlaschiha has kept busy since his time on Game of Thrones, costarring as Sebastian Berger in Crossing Lines. He played Prince Albert in the 2014 biopic Mr. Turner and will be appearing as Philip Von Hapsburg in series 3 of Canal+’s Borgia.

In the A Song of Ice and Fire series, the face of Jaqen has not been seen since A Clash of Kings, though the Faceless Man (in different form) is still tending to business in Westeros.

The actor’s return has not been officially confirmed by HBO.



Me: I hope this is true. (I've always wanted the show to do this.  Why couldn't "A Man" be "A Kindly Man"?  Better for TV that way anyway.)

Would be a great idea to have him return as her teacher.I always had the feeling the character should return and GRRM doesn't seem to come forth.

I know.

And on TV, it just makes sense. GRRM has no problem populating his world with an endless supply of newbies (even when it becomes a matter of the reader going "who are these people and why should I care?")

TV needs some recognizable faces, especially since there are already going to be so many new faces in Dorne. Though not confirmed, I always thought it would make sense if "A Kindly Man" was simply another face of "Jaqen". I mean... why not?
