Netflix's drama series "Mindhunter" is based on the real events of the FBI's investigations into psychopaths and serial killers during the 1970s and 80s, which means actors were hired to play real-life murderers.
One of the newcomers to the "Mindhunter" cast of killers is actor Robert Aramayo — the actor who played young Ned Stark on HBO's "Game of Thrones."

Aramayo appears on the fourth episode of "Mindhunter" season two, when characters Wendy and Greg go to interview Elmer Wayne Henley, Jr.
Henley was convicted for the murder of 27 young men and boys in 1974. He was 18 years old at the time of his conviction.
As the episode of "Mindhunter" explores, Henley would help lure victims to the 33-year-old serial killer Dean A. Corll. Henley eventually killed Corll and then confessed his crimes to police.

Henley is currently serving his life sentence in a Texas prison called the Mark W. Michael Unit.
As for Aramayo's portrayal of this real-life murderer, "Game of Thrones" fans might not have recognized him thanks to the accent change for the role of Henley (which is nothing like the English accent he adopted to play Ned Stark).
The second season of "Mindhunter" is streaming now on Netflix.
