The Paolo Orsini of 'The Borgias' is reportedly recruited to portray the main villain in the upcoming season of the HBO hit.

AceShowbiz - "Game of Thrones" may have found its next big baddie. Danish actor Pilou Asbaek ("Lucy" and "The Borgias") is reportedly tapped to play Theon's uncle, Euron Greyjoy. According to Watchers on the Wall, Asbaek has been spotted filming with other cast in Ballintoy Harbor, Northern Ireland.

In George R. R. Martin's book, Euron is nicknamed Crow's Eye for his eye patch. He is mentioned throughout the novels but makes his first appearance in "A Feast for Crows". He returns from his exile after Balon's death and courts Daenerys Targaryen to help him conquer Westeros.

Pilou Asbaek joins other new additions which include Ian McShane and Max von Sydow. It's unclear what role McShane will be playing but von Sydow is set to portray the Three-Eyed Raven, who was played by Struan Rodger in the fourth season finale.
