His role in the production earned him his first film role in the Italian-American production Lost in Florence.
Robert Aramayo is a familiar face to most of us as he played the role of a young Eddard Stark in the sixth season of the HBO series Game of Thrones.

Sadly, his forces were forced to retreat because they were ill-equipped to handle the onslaught. Following the battle, Elrond held the first White Council, where he was proclaimed Lord of Rivendell and given Vilya, the Blue Ring of Power, by Gil-galad.
