VARIETY broke the story a couple of days ago, so this will be old news to many of you, but…<\/p>\n

We have our hedge knight.<\/p>\n

And he has his squire.<\/p>\n

Peter Claffey will play Dunk.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s a former professional rugby player turned actor.\u00a0\u00a0 And he’s tall.\u00a0\u00a0 Ok, maybe not quite as tall as Ser Duncan the Tall, but still plenty tall, and with the magic of television…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His readings were terrific.\u00a0\u00a0 I think you’re going to love him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As Egg, we’ve cast Dexter Sol Ansell.\u00a0\u00a0 Most recently seen in the HUNGER GAMES prequel, but he’s got an amazing amount of experience for his age.\u00a0\u00a0 I am told he cannot wait to shave his head.\u00a0\u00a0 (Love that sort of commitment).<\/p>\n

His auditions were wonderful as well.<\/p>\n

Peter and Dexter.\u00a0 They should make one hell of a pair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many more parts to cast, of course, but we’re seeing some great candidates.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More news soon, I hope.<\/p>\n
