How many black actors appear in the TV Series Game of Thrones?

I know that there is one in Dorne (The guard of Doran Martell - Areo Hotah) and another in Qarth (Xaro Xhoan Daxos).

How many more appear?

EDIT: I found one more: Salladhor Saan
System Down found: The priest of the Many Faced God (pre-transformation)

    To answer this question, you'd have to choose an arbitrary line on which side you put people you consider "black guys" and everyone else on the other. Grey worm has darker skin than Daneries does that make him a black guy? Kobarro and a few of the other Dothraki might need inspection too. – Mikey Mouse May 13 '15 at 13:58

    @nuno.filipesf May I ask why you need this info? – Boelabaal May 13 '15 at 14:30

    @nuno.filipesf all the characters that are supposed to be from the summer isles are black skinned, that includes salladhor saan and Daxos. So if you want a definite list just check the characters from the summer isles that appear in the series (some of them are removed from the series even though they appeared in the books like the archer Black Balaq).

  • @MikeyMouse You're right! When i posted the question, i was thinking in the darker skin colours, like Xaro Xhoan Daxos. It's not a racist thing, only curiosity! – nuno.filipesf May 13 '15 at 14:53

    @Boelabaal Why anyone need this kind of info? Because of nothing, of course! Just foolishness! And because of science. – nuno.filipesf May 13 '15 at 14:58

    The priest of the Many Faced God (pre-transformation) is black as well. – System Down May 13 '15 at 17:09
  • @SystemDown the servants of the many faced god don't have particular faces. We don't know for sure what they really look like – yondaime008 May 13 '15 at 20:41

    @yondaime008 - The OP asked about black "actors" not black "characters". So while the priest himself may or may not have been black, his actor was. – System Down May 13 '15 at 21:05

    Hang on, how is this "primarily opinion-based"? – Rand al'Thor May 13 '15 at 22:45
  • @SystemDown indeed, I misinterpreted OPs question. – yondaime008 May 14 '15 at 08:35
  • How can this possibly be answered until the series is finished? – user14111 May 14 '15 at 10:08

You'll have to ask the Unsullied... but be polite about it.

    If you're looking for a number like "124", then you'll be hard-pressed to determine how many unique extras/unnamed characters there are. If you only want named characters, I recommend IMDB. – Andrew Coonce May 13 '15 at 15:26

    These are episodic characters from season 5: Cedric Henderson as a Faceless Man, Reece Noi as Mossador, Marcos James as White Rat, Gary Pillai as Merchant Captain – Stefan Urziceanu May 14 '15 at 06:28
