Some big names there - and not only are the Reeds cast, they're perfectly cast. Tidy.

[Crown]

Basically all of them are spot on (Meera, Jojen, Brynden and Olenna). Curious about Orell in season 3, tho'. Wasn't he supposed to be death already?

[Perogo]

I think the only disappointment is that Crook isn't playing Vargo Hoat.

Qyburn cast though so... hopefully we'll get the Mummers? Unless they introduce him some other way.

[Jamie Lannister]

I want my Reek, HBO. Lord Ramsay will be most displeased by this lack of progress.

Excited for the solid lineup all the same, but still.

[Abaddon]

Several people were guessing Crook might be Varamyr Sixskins, although I thought it was too early for him.  Since Orell is supposed to already be dead in the books by this point, perhaps a combination of the two?  If not it's definitely a beefed up role, as they wouldn't bring Crook in for a bit part...

They'll announce Ramsay later. We don't have Mance either.

[Frey Pentos]

Dennis Pennis as Thoros of Myr. Interesting.

[Winterz]

Here's the link to youtube's video on HBO channel.

[Two Towers]

And it seems they killed Hoster too

[Darth Pipes]

Awesome news, particularly about Diana Rigg.  The actor who is playing Tormund has a big bushy beard and I read the actor playing Edmure was Brutus in Rome.

[Stannis the Stern]

WAAH! Where is my beautiful sweet Ramsay? Oh the pain!

[Stannis the Stern]

One thing that baffles me is that Dennis Pennis is playing Thoros of Myr.

My mother on seeing the video: "Where's Tom Hardy? Not impressed". I had to explain that Ramsay hasn't been cast yet. Yet. He will be cast.

Great line-up, thanks for getting this information out there so quickly!

[Frey Pentos]

Some fine actors there. Really good casting decisions. Paul Kaye is the only one that makes me think WTF? Sure he'll be great though.

Tom Hardy would be an unbelievably great Ramsay and there's no way that's ever happening.

[Jayaris]

Like Jojen and Tormund

Well, I put this in another thread but I'll put it here too:

My thoughts...

Qyburn - perfect

Olenna - very lucky to have her!!!

Orell- sure

Reed kids - perfect!

Beric - perfect!

Missandei - wow, I always imagined Missandei to be a little girl...she seems great, but not what I pictured at all

Anguy - not what I imagined

Shireen - how can I complain about a little girl? lol

Thoros - not sure...

Edmure - okay, but all I can think when I look at him is Brutus, damnit

Tormund - awesome

Blackfish - best ever!!!

Selyse - a little too pretty?  They should put a moustache on her, lol.  But ok

Ellie Kendirck, Meera Reed, was excellent as Anne Frank.

We'd get too attached to Tom and well then they couldn't kill him without a massive fan riot


@Two Towers well GoT is working on a very limited budget and the casting is already immense, I'm sure a guy who barely appears even in the books, can be dispensed from the series.
