The Sandman Season 2 adds plenty of new cast members to its already growing cast. These performers will play popular characters from Neil Gaiman’s prominent DC graphic novel series. One of the most notable additions to the second season’s cast is none other than Jack Gleeson, best known for playing King Joffrey Baratheon in HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Gleeson will be playing Puck, a malevolent hobgoblin serving as the royal jester to King Auberon. His flawless portrayal of sadistic King Joffery in GOT is widely considered one of the best portrayals of a villain on television. He perfectly captured the character’s arrogance, insecurity, and pettiness, making him a truly terrifying and unpredictable villain.
