Noah Syndergaard just revealed some tantalizing hints about his 'Game of Thrones' cameo
Noah Syndergaard, the New York Mets' very Thor-looking pitcher, will have a cameo in the seventh season of Game of Thrones -- this much, we've known for some time.
But the star hurler just revealed some tantalizing hints about what exactly his role will entail when HBO's hit series returns this summer.
Syndergaard recently told Complex that shooting for his role -- which he said is "a non-speaking part, unfortunately, but it was still pretty cool." -- took him to Spain this off-season. He even got to bring his parents along to Cáceres, a small town located in western Spain near the border with Portugal.
We can glean still more from another interview Syndergaard did this week, this one with Sports Illustrated.
Syndergaard doesn't think his character gets an actual name, but he revealed that "I do play a Lannister general -- that's about all I can tell you."
The Mets ace was then asked if his "non-speaking," "Lannister general" character either died or killed anyone.

"Yeah, one of the two," he said. "Maybe both."
Hmmmmmmmm ... 🤔 🤔 🤔
Game of Thrones Season 7 is set to premiere July 16.
