Henry Cavill would be amazing but I believe he's still very busy with Superman : Man of Steel. Dreaming does not hurt!

Henry Cavill looks like a Tyrell to me... Iike Garlan
I hate sound terrible but Daario Nahaaris reminds me of all those terrible "wog' characters in Agatha Christie novels.
Which is to say everywhite character hates them because they are 'wops/wogs" but in the end they're not actually evil and are often murdered.
What is the/who is the Situation?

It's the only way I can forgive Dany for acting like such a twit.

My wife would agree with you...

Even when he does that weird eye thing on Vampire Diaries.

[Urien the Ragged]

i don't envision daario as quite as broad in the shoulders as momoa. i'm thinking rodrigo santoro.

I was thinking about Santiago Cabrera, who's playing Lancelot on Merlin, he's handsome in a non conventional way.

[George Snow]

If they don't use him for some Dornish part, Oded Fehr.

If the use  Santiago I will definitely love Daario for sure!

Have been scouring the books, looking for a good role for Andrew Lee Potts to play, and I've lit upon Daario.

If you know him only as Primeval's Connor Temple, you may think I'm smoking something, but watch him as Hatter in Syfy's Alice, and see if you don't get the sexy rogue vibe.

(Also: Hi! First post on the forum. Promise I'm not a troll. Just finally finished ADWD so I'm now free to move about the fandom. )

Someone like Purefoy could make of the most hated character of the books actually a cool character.

"The Situation" should play Daario. That's basically who Daario is anyway. The guy wouldn't even have to act (not that he could).

congrats, you had me laughing on the floor =D

Momoa as Drogo totally threw me off (don't get me wrong, he did a great job, but he was NOT what I was picturing). I had always imagined Drogo as a Genghis Khan-type of character, much more nasty than attractive, certainly not a Polynesian bodybuilder/supermodel like Jason Momoa.

As for Daario, I'm not picturing an attractive man... he's a sellsword with blue hair, a three-pronged beard, a large, curving nose, and a golden tooth. I've always pictured him to be the Bronn of Essos, rather than Dave Navarro, or Jack Sparrow. I always figured Dany was attracted to his bravado, and charm, rather than his beauty. Chicks are like that.

For some reason, I always picture him when reading about Daario.

If they tan is skin He will be the best Daario as I have never pictured him been gorgeous only attractive

[lilbufbuf]

Just an fyi because I'm not sure where people are getting this from, but Daario isn't actually described as having tan or dark skin.

He's described as fair (in comparison to Jorah, who's supposed to be swarthy). It's obviously not a pressing detail and wouldn't be a big deal if someone either fair or tan were to play him...but yeah, there's absolutely nothing in the text that suggests that he absolutely has to be tanned.

In addition to this, Daario's described as lithe and graceful (so brawny men probably wouldn't be a great fit), smooth-skinned and flamboyant. Dany thinks of him as "beautiful" at least once in the text. I think his description makes him sound like he doesn't look like a stereotypically masculine warrior (like Drogo). I'm also assuming he's fairly young (perhaps even younger than Drogo, who was 30) in comparison to all the other men around Dany.

Well Ian Somerhalder isn't who I see when I imagine Daario, but I never say no to seeing more of him

[Urien the Ragged]

[Oberyn Sand]

I don't think Richard Coyle would be a good choice for Daario. :<

[imladolen]

Okay, so if we can't get the perfect casting of Henry Cavill, why don't we go with his "Tudors" compatriot Max Brown (aka Demitri Levendis on the past 2 series of "spooks").

Isn't he?  He has blue hair but I figured it was dyed, like Aegon's, and he has blue eyes (we are told, over and over).  I don't think his skin color is ever mentioned (though its smoothness and hairlessness was dwelt upon in adwd).  So... any race should be ok??

Anyway it had better damn well be someone brain-meltingly fine.  He has to beat Iain Glen in the looks department (somehow?).

John Leguizamo


Which fits perfectly into my Daario = Luigi theory because John Leguizamo is lugi
