Rules for this topic:

1) No discussion! This is a thread to post your suggestion(s) for actors to play the roles of various non-Stark northerners, as well as members of the Night Watch such as Samwell, the Old Bear, Alliser Thorne, and so on.

2) Keep it brief. Provide an IMDB link, official webpage link, a brief explanation for why you'd think they'd be a good in a role, that sort of thing, but don't go overboard!

3) Keep in mind that we're interested in serious casting suggestions. $20 million a film stars will not be in the TV series as regulars. Think television actors NOT already involved as a lead in currently on-going series, Hollywood actors who've made forays into TV before and might do it again, and so on.

Eventually, we may run polls to figure out the "cream of the crop" and write nice, shiny official forum reports concerning these actors. But the main thing is, keep the ideas coming.

Rufus Sewell as Roose Bolton.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001722/

It's all about the eyes. However, he is starring in his own series right now, so he may be too busy (unless the show gets canned).

I saw him as the main villain in The Black Donnellys, and I just got the creeps any time he was on screen.

Maester Aemon:

Roy Dotrice

he played Father on Beauty & the Beast, and his career is legendary. He did the reading for the first 3 audio books.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0234541/

and George had a great relationship with him on B&B.

I was thinking Mr. Dotrice for Grand Maester Pycelle, as another possibility. :)

He's already been suggested for just about every other role but Christopher Eccleston would make an awesome Roose Bolton

Andy Whitfield (still from the movie Gabriel) has the look of the North or perhaps even the iron islands.

And he is full of sumptuous, magical hotness.

Patrick McGoohan as Jeor Mormont.

John Hurt as Roose Bolton?

I think Brian Blessed would be better off as Tormund these days. About 30 years too old to be Robert unfortunately.

Roose Bolton - Zeljko Ivanek - He probably doesn't look like anyone pictured Bolton, but he's definitely an unexceptional looking man who can certainly give off a very creepy and commanding vibe.

Raoul Trujillo for Rattleshirt
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0874232/
If I remember correctly, in Apocalypto, he had the shirt too. And he popped up in True Blood, so he's on HBO.

Liam Aiken for Jojen Reed

Burn Gorman - from Torchwood and Bleak House (Guppy)
As someone from the Watch.

Frankly, he'd be great anywhere in this series.
