As an huge fan of Rutger Hauer, I look forward to see what his character brings to the table this season. He most “DEFINITELY” fits the part of a mysterious, sinister, villian “Warlow” without a doubt!
IMHO, I think “Rutger Hauer” is one of the most underrated actor’s of his time! What a shame…

LuvMyVamps, underrated in the world perhaps, but in the Netherlands he’s considered the country’s greatest actor by most people. He was the star of major Dutch films such as Turkish Delight (a film that every Dutch person has seen), Soldier of Orange and the television series Floris.

I wonder why the name change from Macklyn to Niall (or vice versa). Book readers are familiar w/ who Niall is, so I was wondering if they were trying to keep some mystery to the season by changing some of the names. Or, maybe there are 2 characters & they decided he should play the other. Either way, I’m also a huge fan. I was so touched by his whale video. Looking forward to whatever he’s bringing b/c we know it will be fabulous!
