Career

In 2011 Ostlere appeared in the series premiere of the American television series Game of Thrones, appearing as Night's Watch ranger Waymar Royce. He is killed by a White Walker six minutes into the episode's cold open, giving him the distinction of playing the first character ever killed on that show, which is known for its large number of character deaths.
