[quote name='St. Fury' post='1589835' date='Nov 15 2008, 00.33']Luke Goss for Viserys [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0331577/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0331577/[/url][/quote]

... a 40 year old to play a 17 year old?

I second someone's suggestion to NOT make Dany a 20 something blonde hottie. You lose tons of credibility there.

Shae will be cast too, lets leave the eye candy for that, her and Cersei. We do NOT need a Denise Richards type to play Dany.

Anyways...

[url="http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4DKUS_enUS280US280&q=Evanna%20Lynch&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi"]Evanna Lynch[/url] for Dany.

She is 17 now, she'll be 18 soon then. Obviously Dany requires an actress willing to do sexuality and nudity, and who knows if Evanna is such an actress. However she can pull off young, and she looks the part. Give her some violet contact lenses and you're all set.



I second Dwayne Johnson for Khal Drogo - it is a small part, he can do it. Though... that big warleader from Apocalypto, know who I mean? He could work fine too. He is probably a better choice considering he won't come with baggage. Anyone wanna research and try to figure out his name or find a pic?


I like a Michael Ironside-type for Jorah Mormont, but he is too old, maybe Jeor Mormont, but not Jorah. Honestly, I could see a Sean Bean doing Jorah.

For Daenerys Targaryen - if you are looking for a non-name/new-talent like Kristen Bell, take a look at [b]Natalie Victoria[/b]. She looks young enough to pull the role off and has AMAZING EYES!!!! Just wrapped a leading role in an independent feature called DEADHEADS. Looks like she has another project called Brave New World coming up too on her IMDB.

Really talented - up and comer! Great feedback on her on her message boards. Anyone else know anything about her?
LOVE TO SEE HER on this!

I like this. Kudos to thinking outside the blonde box and remembering that we have peroxide!

Jay Tavare or maybe one of Yag's East Asians is the best choice for Drogo. He's not supposed to be all that old, and I always pictured this character as hot.

I think she'd be perfect for Dany. She almost looks like a mini Kristen Kreuk who'd be my pick were she younger. There's also her Costar from the Nickelodean show she's on (iCarly) who would also be decent.

I would have to agree with this one, not quite as burly as I imagined him, but damn close and from what I've seen him in, he could certainly pull off the character.

Your picture reminded me of Christopher Meloni (currently from Law and Order SVU, previously from HBO's Oz.) Who also looks the part, I think.

I've gotta second that. Natalie's not only a very talented up-and-comer, but she really has a startling resemblance to what I always imagined Dany to be.

Check out this nice bit of fan art -- [url="http://fc74.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/293/9/5/Daenerys_Targaryen_NEW_by_jekaa.jpg"]http://fc74.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/293...EW_by_jekaa.jpg[/url]

Then check out this pic of Natalie -- [url="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/rafael607/nataliev.jpg"]http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/raf...07/nataliev.jpg[/url]

Silver hair? Violet eyes? I could totally see it. For me, the eyes are critical, and Natalie's got gorgeous, striking eyes.

Cast this girl!

[url="http://www.bestsexycelebs.com/alexa_davalos/pictures/2.jpg"]Alexa Davalos[/url] for Dany.

So, she is 26, twice Dany's age. BUT, she looks young, she also hasn't a problem with nudity and sexuality as she has done such movies in the past.

[url="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/object/event/wireimage/3/191/611_g.jpg"]another pic[/url]

With the right makeup I think she could be made to look young, she is slight enough.

I don't think she is the best choice out there on paper, but perhaps worthy of an audition, and the fact is, lots of actresses would balk at the material so choices would be limited, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't.

Looking over her IMDB site, that Natalie Victoria person is the most spot-on Dany yet suggested when it comes to looks. From her credits, it looks like she's done mostly bit parts so she's an unknown, but if she can act, she looks like she'd make a great Dany.

If they're going to age Dany up, my suggestion would be to snap up [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1086543/"]Amanda Seyfried[/url] before she becomes a huge film star. She has [url="http://www.abload.de/img/8093999yzoe.jpg"]the otherworldly beauty[/url] down, and she's a great, versatile young actress. Just check out her stellar work in Big Love and see how well she nails completely different roles in Veronica Mars and Mean Girls. However if they're not aging her up, then she's got no chance. Let's just say she's a tad overdeveloped to play a thirteen-year-old.

I think [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000514/"]Michael Madsen[/url] could so a good Jorah. Or what about [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000284/"]Adam Baldwin[/url], who's more of a TV perennial? He's just past 40 so he's the right age, and he's even got a bit of a receding hairline. Unfortunately, I believe he's currently doing Chuck, although I've never watched it so I don't know how big his role is.

Jayne Cobb? I see him more as Bronn, or possibly a Kettleblack.

After all, according to IMDB, he did 17 episodes of Smallville, but maybe they paid him A Whole Lotta Money(tm).[/quote]
Oh yeah, I really like Terrance Stamp! But I like him as Tywin Lannister or maybe Aerys. I like Christopher Plummer as Barristan.

I only ever saw him in The Mummy and Resident Evil but he's made quite the lasting impression on me. :smoking:[/quote]
I have Oded Fehr pegged as Oberyn Martell :)
