We’ve already caught a glimpse of him battling The Mountain in the trailer for the fourth season of Game of Thrones, and now new cast addition Pedro Pascal (Graceland) has spoken about his character Prince Oberyn Martell, a.k.a. The Red Viper, in season four of HBO’s epic fantasy series.
“[The Red Viper] is a prince who doesn’t play by the rules,” Pascal tells He is from the land of Dorne and he comes to King’s Landing to stir things up. He has a pretty specific agenda and he really doesn’t care what people think or also doesn’t care what consequence he might meet, you know. He doesn’t give a shit, he basically doesn’t give a crap… He gets around, he’s a lover and a fighter, he’s very much both.”
