51) FRANCIS MAGEE
As a sworn brother and the “Wandering Crow” recruiter for the Night’s Watch, Yoren doesn’t suffer fools gladly. But when he’s among friends he’s ready to draw a pint and swap tales. Veteran Irish actor Francis Magee was the right man for the part of this rough and tumble soldier with a soft side.
Magee has a burly face and. As he tells the Walford Gazette, “I suppose with a face like mine, I’m never going to present children’s TV, am I?”
