Actor Miltos Yerolemou, best known for playing mentor and master swordsman, Syrio Forel in Game of Thrones has joined the cast of JJ Abrams, Star Wars: Episode VII, currently in production.

However, his character in Episode VII is not thought to be a major one.

He joins other former Game of Thrones alum, Gwendoline Christie, who was cast back in June.

Lucasfilm has declined to comment on the casting.
