63	!!Tropes & Trivia applying to his works:
64
65	* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Many have noted his resemblance to [[UsefulNotes/NotablePopes Jorge Mario Bergoglio / Pope Francis]], and his role as the High Sparrow in HBO's ''Series/GameOfThrones'' as an austere man of faith who challenges the rigid clergy and pretty much redefines piety has helped the comparison. It came full circle when he played Bergoglio/Francis himself in Creator/{{Netflix}}'s ''Film/TheTwoPopes''.
