Conleth Hill
as Varys
Character Overview: Lord Varys, called “the Spider,” is the enigmatic Master of Whisperers, or spymaster, for the Iron Throne of Westeros. A bald, fat eunuch of stylish dress, he usually affects a fawning, effeminate personality to hide his true feelings and motives. In keeping with this act, he often refers to spies as his “little birds”. Many nobles he associates with find him distasteful and untrustworthy. He is a master of disguise, and knows many secret passages within the Red Keep. – Wikipedia
Actor Bio: Born in Northern Ireland, in County Antrim, Conleth Hill has done his share of televison and film (you may have seen him recently in Woody Allen’s Whatever Works with Larry David), but is probably best known for his work in the theatre, which ranges from serious drama to musical comedy, and everything in between, including roles in The Producers, Little Shop of Horrors, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Waiting for Godot, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He’s appeared on stages in Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Toronto, and on Broadway, where he was nominated for a Tony Award for best actor. Hill has also twice been awarded the Laurence Olivier Theatre Award, once for best actor, once for best supporting actor. – GRRM
