"Deadwood" alum Ian McShane was cast in a mysterious one-episode role this season. It’s meant to be a small but pivotal part. At first, we thought he’d be Sam’s father, but the Tarlys are a separate matter we’ll get to in a minute. McShane shared some outright spoilers on his role, telling BBC Breakfast, "My character is an ex-warrior who’s become a peacenik. So I have this group of peaceful…it’s like a cult, peaceful tribe… who have brought back…I bring back this beloved character that everyone thinks is dead. So, I’ll leave it at that." There’s speculation on who exactly he means, and it’s not Jon Snow.
