The BBC goliath just started to film for season 9, and one tiny spoiler has already slipped out from the casting department - Paul Kaye will enter the Whoverse as the ninth season gets underway.
Frequently seen as Thoros of Myr on HBO's Game of Thrones, Kaye actor is set to play a character named Prentis, according to Doctor Who TV.

Unfortunately, it is currently unknown which episode the London-born actor will appear in. Doctor Who has a habit of filming out of order, so Kaye's early shooting date does not necessarily mean he will appear in the season 9 premiere.
However, the character's name lends credence to speculation that he will appear in episode 1. Title "The Magician's Apprentice," the premiere could easily hold a prime role for a character dubbed Prentis.
In addition to Game of Thrones, Kaye's long list of credits includes Lilyhammer, Strutter, Twenty Thousand Acres of Sky, and The Sunday Show.
