Another twist is the fact that a new actor has been asked to play the role of the young John Grey. That actor is reportedly Oscar Kennedy and he would not be seen in the same scenes as Clair, Jamie and the older Master John Grey would be.
John Grey is expected to be a long lasting character in the show as many that read the books know, he is the governor of a prison where Jamie ends up in the third book. The description of the John Grey character includes a young, fine-boned man with fair complexion, blonde hair and long lashes.
There are a few actors that would fit that profile, including Tom Felton from Harry Potter, Ryan Kwantan from True Blood, Rupert Friend from Homeland and Tom Milson from Sleepy Hollow. Before the first episode airs in April, it will be announced which actor gets the role of young John Grey and right now, fans cannot wait to hear it.
