In what was a creepy and scary scene, we saw Lancel having a tattoo carved in his forehead. "It's a sign of a lifelong commitment to this particular sect of the Faith of the Seven. The fact that Lancel and so many of his fellow Sparrows are willing to go from being Sparrows to being Faith Militant shows how quickly the nature of this sect has become militarized. It's not something that bodes well for anyone in the Seven Kingdoms," the handsome actor admitted.

"The Sparrow Uprising is very much an uprising of the impoverished. When I was talking to the directorMark [Mylod] about episodes three and four, we agreed it was similar to a Communist uprising. These are people who have absolutely no regard for the status quo or authority, because they answer to a being that is higher than any sort of moral authority. They believe they are divinely driven, which is a frightening prospect."

Adding, "Lancel is very much a believer in the cause. He's probably an example of one of the purist types of the Faith Militant. Many of the Faith Militants are people who have been impoverished for so long that they feel like it is a way to improve their station. Lancel is far more ideological. This is a guy who has been amongst the richest and wealthiest families in the Seven Kingdoms, and his reasons for joining this cult are very much borne out of a great deal of pain and a sincere " but twisted " wish to rid the world of any of the people who caused him that pain, which is pretty much every major character in the books."

With no identity now tied to once the most powerful family (House Lannister) in Westeros, this kid is now very dangerous.
