For episode 158, we welcomed Welsh actor and stuntman, Ian Whtye to the show! Ian is known for his roles as Predators in the Alien vs. Predator film series, The Last Engineer in Prometheus, “Sheikh Suleiman” in Clash of the Titans (2010), as well as various characters in the television show, Game of Thrones!
