Jon Connington/Griff

[The Flaymaester]

So Season 4 is 2nd half of book 3 and season is books 4 & 5 since they happen at same time. we're catching up! The kingsmoot is likely going to be scratched & I don't think Euron or Victarion will be cast as we simply have way too many characters to fit into a tv show already. But Aegon VI & Jon Connington seemingly play a bigger role so who should be cast as them? I favor Ian Cusick for Jon Connington and Charlie A. Woods as Aegon VI

Strictly speaking, I don't see JonCon as resembling any actor I know, but people have been wondering if Kevin McKidd would show up in this series, and he seems close enough if anyone is.

Aegon could be any 18-25 young actor totally unknown and looking for a break.

[Martini Sigil]

Joseph Fiennes has a lot of TV experience, and he is a very competent actor. He might fit as JonCon.

He is a good actor, but is nothing like how I pictured JonCon. My picks:

JonCon - Kevin McKidd (I would have said Damian Lewis, but he is caught up in Homeland).

Young Griff - Jamie Campbell Bower.

oh, and OP, I disagree about your assessment of the Iron Islands stuff.

[Ser Areo Mace]

I think Steven Waddington would make for a great JonCon.

I must being missing something when it comes to Jamie Campbell Bower, I find him odd looking and am not all that impressed by his acting.

I don't want to play moderator, but how many threads about them are there already?

[Vasilisa]

I always found this picture I found on the web, the most truest depiction of Aegon VI Targaryen, at least how I imagined him while reading the books.

[Ser Areo Mace]

I don't want to play moderator, but how many threads about them are there already?

At least three of them combined. Maybe three other for each character, then maybe two for both of them with duck and company.

[Blutrabe]

Bluetrabe shut your trap. Everyone knows the story will end with a Jon Snow + Danaerys marriage.

That's the attitude. :rolleyes:

As in Henry Ian Cusick? I agree, I've been suggesting him for a while now. But as other posters have said, after watching Rome, Kevin McKidd seems perfect for the role.

[Blutrabe]

Well, I'd take Henry Ian Cusick in any role. ^^

[Fightbringer]

Firstly, I disagree with you about the kingsmoot and i think at least two of the 3 greyjoy brothers will be cast, as for the two parts your talking about, for JonCon I can think of 10 actors or so who'd be great for him. Kevin McKidd would've been perfect (his character in Rome is very similar to JonCon, couple that with the fact he has similar colour and he would've been brilliant. Unfortunately though, he and James Purefoy's opinions on GoT seem to be very unfavourable, so dont think he would be cast. However, there are loads of other great actors here's a few i can think of off the top of my head

David Wenham

John Simm

Christopher Eccleston

Henry Ian Cusick

Tony Curran

Could probably think of a few more if i had the time.

In terms of Aegon i've heard several suggestions for this guy so far but they've all been horrific for one reason or another, I think they should do what they did with all part who are around that age and cast an unknown, whoever auditions the best, after all, Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke and Richard Madden have all been pretty good

[Dementia]

I still like Bradley James for Aegon. I think Jamie Campbell Bower is too young and generally dislike the idea since he's already been in GoT in another role. Not opposed to an unknown.

Jamie Campbell Bower is roughly the same age as Emilia, Kit and Richard, so I would disagree on that point. As for him being on the show before: he was Waymar Royce in the unaired pilot and the role was recast when he couldn't return to refilm it because of Camelot. So no, he hasn't actually been on the show.

EDIT: Also, unless I am very much mistaken, after the recast was announced GRRM said something along the lines of wanting to see him return to the show in the future and in a 'larger role'. So to me it sounds like GRRM wants him to be Young Griff.

[Red R'hollr]

Plenty of people think Euron and Victarion will be major players in the next book. If so, I doubt HBO will have the ability to just skip over them

[Bronn Blackwater]

I'll be upset if we don't see Euron or Victarion in the future. I love Victarion's chapters in Dance and feel the Greyjoys are too important to just cut out.

[Necromancer]

I'd like to see Eddie Marsan as Jon Connington and Jamie Campbell Bower as Aegon. It's nice to know that he's also GRRM's choice for the role.

[Duncan the Average Sized]

Lucius Vorenus determinator as JonCon (see it)

Aegon is trickier, feel they will go for a relative unknown.

Season 5 and 6 (maybe even some of 7 since Dance of Dragons is giant) will cover Books 4 and 5. The Kingsmoot will happen. Areo Hotah will happen. The Dorne story will happen. Just watch. They can't possibly just start cutting HUGE storylines without HUGE reprecussions on the story.

Why everyone assuming the Kingsmoot was suppose to happen this season is beyond me though. This is going to cover the 2nd half of Storm of Swords and Brienne's story from Feast is going to be pulled over.

Oh and Coldhands WILL happen.
