I need to add that show to my 'to watch' list.

I'm glad you said that. Her face in that pic looked really damned familiar. I've been rewatching GoT and finally just started Season 6, which I've not seen before. And damn, that's her. How bout that.

Thanks for that, MD. Couple of good ones there. The one I don't get is how Peter Dinklage is going to get screen time in the Infinity Wars movie...he of course was in the remade X-Men, but I wonder if that means he's playing Trask again or doing something else? I don't know of any midget superheroes in the Marvel universe, though no doubt someone here knows that answer...

Brant posted that link in the GoT thread.  It's spooky how much they look alike.  The only height challenged super hero that came to mind was Puck from Alpha Flight.  It's what I imagine Gus looks like.

he can't play Trask in an MCU flick b/c of the X-Men/everyone else licensing split.
