::Google images Clive Russell::

I like this choice a lot, based on looks alone.

Now here's to hoping they bring back another Clive, one Mr. Mantle as the Greatjon Umber in Season 3.

[Bride of Winter]

he's a great choice (based on a google image search )

I'm looking forward to finally seeing the blackfish!

[Blutrabe]

Awesome! He definitely looks like the Blackfish.

[DornishFroggy]

Great choice!

[Crown]

Don't know the guy. But he's a good pick, based on the looks.

That's the Blackfish right there.

[Margar]

Wow, google says he's 6'6". He's going to tower over everyone unless they decide to angle and edit it so he doesn't. I think with some make up, facial hair, and a shaggier look he will be great.

Eta: well, I looked at the photos beside his glamour shot and he looks perfect in some of those other images on google. He's from Scotland too! Rob is going to seem so Tully compared to Jon now. XD

[Tony Soprano]

Judging by looks alone, I think he would make a perfect Blackfish.

[Ser Dermett Corbray]

Yep, he looks like a grizzled soldier. Top casting decision.

6'6''? I can't imagine him standing next to catelyn, who is what? 5'4''. 5,5? I mean he is described as tall, but if they don't edit the angle he'll look like the effin' mountain. Other than that, he looks perfect for the role

[Night Gathers]

Guessing he's the one on the far right, yup he does look massive.

[tyrions sliced nose]

He looks awesome

[Jolene Brown]

That Blackfish/Jaime sorty at Riverrun is going to be really fun.

[Talbot]

HAH, I remember him as MacQueen in The Wolfman, getting his arm ripped off.

Looks damn good though, hopefully Edmure is casted soon.

[Caro99]

i loved his preformance in Great Expectations as Joe!! i'm sure he'll do a great job, and he does look like the blackfish so i'm happy

[Chelly]

He looks great for the part. I can definitely see him as the Blackfish. I was worried he was going to get cut, but I am glad he wasn't because the Blackfish is pretty damn awesome.

[dtones520]

He looks identical to this picture of the Blackfish...

He'll play this role perfectly. I already envisioned Clive Russell for the role when I was reading the books, I just didn't know the actor's name until today.

[A song away]

This is one of the reasons I'm happy they cut the third book into two seasons. It will give some room to introduce him and make the character catch up with the rest.
