Jeez, Game of Thrones season 2 casting news is just hemorrhaging out, isn't it? Earlier today, we posted news that Ralph Ineson had been cast as Dagmer Cleftjaw. There ain't no rest for the people who cover Game of Thrones news, though, because another casting decision has broken, less than an hour later.

This time it's the role of Salladhor Saan that's been filled. The pirate ally of Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) will be played by Lucian Msamati, Entertainment Weekly is reporting. Msamati joins the twenty-odd new faces being assembled for the season. The character Saan is a mercenary pirate who is pledged to the self-proclaimed Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane). The role will be recurring throughout the series.

Msamati previously starred in HBO's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency as JLB Matekoni. He's also appeared in small roles on Doctor Who and Ashes to Ashes. He doesn't have a huge filmography, but what he does have looks pretty good.

Keep checking back to TVOvermind for more Game of Thrones casting news. At the rate we're going, we could see one or two more announcements today.

Game of Thrones season 2 returns to HBO in spring 2012.
