Kae Alexander as Min

Michael McElhatton as Tam al’Thor
Tam is Rand’s father, and raises him on a farm near the village of Emond’s Field. He’s shown to be a skilled warrior with both a sword and a bow.
McElhatton has a long career, but Game of Thrones fans will probably recognize him as the ice-blooded Roose Bolton. Tam’s much nicer.

Alvaro Morte as Logaine
Logaine is the rare man who can channel, meaning he can tap into the One Power and use it to perform feats of magic. Such men are considered very dangerous, especially if, like Logaine, they claim to be the Dragon Reborn. Many believe that a real messiah is coming, but a false one can plunge the world into war and chaos.
Alvaro Morte is a Spanish actor who’s been working in film and television for years, but his best known role is as the Professor on the Netflix series Money Heist.
