The guy with the axe that Tony and Wolf had to guess his name. What fairytale was he from? Or was he a non fairytale made up for the movie.

The most obvious reference is to the woodsman in Little Red Riding Hood. That character, however, was a lot more sympathetic than this one.

The other reference, which gets directly mentioned by Tony, is Rumpelstiltskin.

I'm going with Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash, only a huntsman and named Juliet.

Does anyone who which actor played him - I can't find him in the cast list?

There was definitely an ostrich involved

His name is James Cosmo,

I was watching Game of Thrones and couldn't figure out where I knew him from...

Had the same experience! Thanks for your answer.

Late reply, but he's kind of like Rumplestiltskin. "Guess my name and I'll give you something, but guess wrong and I'll take something from you." That kind of thing, you know?
