Sorta.  Like an African version .

Speaking of Joaquin, whatever happened to that guy?

I was just looking him up like an hour ago after seeing something from Gladiator on Facebook lol. He narrated this pro-vegetarian documentary which I thought was really good but that was the last thing I actually saw him do. Apparently, he went on Letterman a couple years back and pulled an Andy Kaufman. He was behaving like he was really high or something. But now I'm reading it was all an act he did for another documentary he was doing at the time and Letterman just didn't know about it. Apparently the documentary sucked and his career is suffering for both events. Being the crazy, brilliant bastard he is though, he says he doesn't regret a thing. Gotta love that guy.

Back on topic, here's a personal suggestion: I'm not sure anyone has put forth his name yet but I'm watching Black Swan right now and I have to say Vincent Cassel isn't such a bad choice. Seeing as I've never heard of him before tonight, I can't imagine he'd cost too much to cast for a small role such as this. Physically, Cassel's not quite how I imagined Oberyn but he can definitely pull off his domineering personality quite well.

Here's another picture of him: http://i.imgur.com/W4RynHw.jpg

Although he's not the ideal ethnicity, I wouldn't suggest him if I didn't think his appearance could pass for the part.

Dwayne Johnson, in a wig, or an equally bewigged Vin Diesel wearing elevator shoes.

Vincent Cassel is one of France's biggest movie stars. I think he could make a terrific Oberyn, but I'd rather have Javier Bardem (who is an even bigger star, so even less likely)

As for Joaquin Phoenix, he was nominated for best actor in 2012 for The Master, a pretty amazing movie that has about as much closure as ASOIAF at this point.  I think after watching that, the only character you'd see Phoenix as is Reek. Though I think he would have made a marvelous Ramsay, too.

I kind of pictured him as a bigger, buffer version of Francois Arnaud (Cesare Borgia from the Borgias)
