‘Game Of Thrones' News: Pedro Pascal Cast As ‘The Red Viper’

Pedro Pascal has been cast as Oberyn Martell, or “The Red Viper,” for Game of Thrones’ fourth season.

Martell is sure to bring trouble to the series with his dangerous personality, according to showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss. "The Red Viper is sexy and charming, yet believably dangerous; intensely likable, yet driven by hate,” Benioff and Weiss told TV Guide. “The boys love him, the girls love him, and he loves them all back. Unless your last name is Lannister. We found a fellow who can handle the job description and make it seem effortless. He wasn’t easy to find and he won’t be easy to stop."

Martell is said to be coming to King’s Landing with revenge on his mind, following the death of his sister, Elia Martell, who was killed by Ser Gregor Clegane (Ian Whyte)– a Lannister knight – preceding the series.

Pascal, 38, is a Chilean actor who has appeared on Graceland and The Good Wife. He will also appear in the third season of the television hit Homeland. The fourth season of Game of Thrones is set to air in 2014.
