Recast the best casting choices in the show


Recommended Posts

Karen would be a predictable choice. They could dye Billie's hair or give her a wig

Lysa-Miranda Richardson

Jeremy Clarkson as the smallfolk who throw dung at Joffrey

Alan Rickman as Stannis.

Cat-Alex Kingston

Billie Piper with red hair would still look completely wrong for Mel.

For Jaime? Way too old. We need a gorgeous blonde somewhere in his middle 30s.

ETA: Jesse Spencer?

NCW is over 40, and Ned was also 35 in the book but he was played by a 50 year old actor.

Jesse Spencer looks like he's of an age with the 20 - something actors like Richard Madden, Kit Harington etc.

So, basically, it would work only if we recast everyone age appropriately - i.e. teen actors playing Dany, Robb, Jon, Margaery, Loras, preteens as Sansa and Arya, Joffrey closer to his book age than his show age, younger actors playing Tyrion (someone in his mid 20s), Sandor, LF, Lysa, Cat, Ned, etc.

That said, I don't see Cary Elwes as Jaime.

Asa Butterfield is actually who I imagine in my head when I read Jon Snow's chapters, though obviously he couldn't actually work on the show because of the sexual content of Jon's storyline. But an 18 or 19 year-old actor would be good.

Alex Etel is the one I keep coming back to, but I'm not sure if he's even acting anymore.

David Wenham as Davos



Karen Gillan as Ygritte- mostly because I wanted the Wildlings to be Scottish (how else would you expect people 200 miles north of the Starks to sound...)




I could never believe Mark Addy as Robert - he's fine as the drunken buffoon, but I can't imagine him winning the Iron Throne 20 years earlier [or however long it is in HBO-land]- not sure who would be a good alternative.



I could see Colin Morgan as Pod, although that might make the character even more ridiculous.
