In 2014, the fourth season of the fantasy series "Game of Thrones" was released on television, in which one of the secondary roles was played by Russian actor Yuri Kolokolnikov. He played a wild man named Stear.
Whom Yuri Kolokolnikov played in Game of Thrones
Steer, whose role was approved by the Russian actor Yuri Kolokolnikov, according to the plot of the series is the leader of one of the clans of the wild people - the Tenns. They differ from ordinary wildlings with a more cruel disposition, an unusual bluish skin tone and a tendency to cannibalism. A squad of tenns, led by Stear, were assembled by Wildling King Mance to aid in the attack on the Night's Watch castle, an order that defends the server frontier of the Seven Kingdoms.
Throughout the season, Stear and members of his clan have repeatedly demonstrated their incredible cruelty. They killed the inhabitants of the surrounding villages in an attempt to lure out the soldiers of the Night's Watch. As a result, the wildlings attacked Black Castle, where a long and bloody battle began. Stear himself fought in a duel with Jon Snow, one of the main characters of the series and an experienced warrior of the Night's Watch. Managing to distract the wildling, John stabbed him on the head with an ax.
