This idea would make a great big-screen movie if the series becomes as big a hit as it probably will.

It could maybe be a middle episode of a trilogy covering the fall of the Targaryen dynasty, starting with Aerys's abduction and rescue at duskendale being as the first, and ending with the greyjoy rebellion.

[Ser Areo Mace]

Ben Barnes would be a good Rhaegar

Henry Cavill seems more Ned then Robert or Rhaegar.

I though Alexander Skarsgard for Rhaegar and in turn Stellan Skarsgard for Aerys.

Tom Felton as a young Jaime, Juno Temple as a young Cersei. Sean Pertwee as a younger Tywin Lannister.

I like your uses of the Skarsgard, good choice i didn't think of them. That gave me an idea of Joe Manganiello for a young Robert (not a total fit but a solid one I think)

Totally not realistic, but:

Only one person can play the Mad King

Aerys.

How could you miss him out? Yeah you guessed it, same guy who was in Lotr Return of the King

I am pretty sure I would kill to see this actually happen. A few of my friends and I have a lot of this already casted, too.  I think it would be best as a mini-series or a movie. This is also assuming that all of these actors can put on a decent English or "Westerosi" accent if they are not already British.

One of the things I tried to do is keep the actors somewhat near the age they are would be playing, for the younger characters. Lyanna, for example, is supposed to be fifteen, I believe, at the beginning of the "show", so I tried to keep her relatively young and then worked the other characters around her.

I had a longer list somewhere, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

The Starks
Rickard - I would love Viggo Mortenson as Rickard, he is the only person I could ever picture in the role.
Brandon - Henry Cavill has the exact look of Brandon in my head.
Ned - No real ideas, but my friend suggested Sam Claflin and I think he could do a good job.
Lyanna - Sarah Bolger, another Tudors actor. She is an extremely talented actress and very beautiful, just how I imagine Lyanna.
Benjen - Skander Keynes is the first that came to mind, he isn't as young as I believe Benjen is, but I think he could do the role justice.

The Lannisters
Twyin - No real opinion on this one.
Jaime - I keep imagining Alex Pettyfer as Jaime, I think he could play the cockiness I imagine a young Jaime to have.
Cersei - Maybe Tamsin Egerton? or Clemence Poesy?

The Targaryens
Aerys - Anthony Head is the first person who comes to mind.
Rhaella - I doubt it would ever happen, but Cate Blanchett.
Rhaegar - I have the same dream casting for Rhaegar as I do for Arthur Dayne. When I was reading, I kept imagining Chris Hemsworth whenever Rhaegar's name popped up.
Elia - Frieda Pinto is an extremely common fancasting, at least over on tumblr, I believe.

The Baratheons
Robert - Armie Hammer. If you dyed his hair black, I think he would be perfect. He has the blue eyes and is massive and is a great actor.
Stannis - No idea for this one, either. Maybe Nicolas Hoult?
Renly - Unknown child actor

The Tullys
Catelyn - Lily Collins, back when she had her red hair. Or Deborah Ann Woll.
Lysa - No clue with Lily, but maybe Molly Quinn with Deborah?
Hoster - Maybe Kevin McKidd?

Others
Howland Reed - I keep picturing Logan Lerman, with his longer hair in The Three Musketeers.
Petyr Baelish - I don't know how interested he would be in joining another fandom, but I like Dan Radcliffe? I think he could portray all sides of the character well.
Arthur Dayne - Like I said before, I like Chris Hemsworth for both Arthur and Rhaegar.
Ashara Dayne - If you give them some violet contacts, maybe Kaya Scodelario or Katie McGrath?

Armie is probably the best choice for young robert so far and would be a good Renly later on. Chris would be a good one for Arthur too.
