Arianne Martell - casting

Yeah. Also, in general, I'd like more of an African and/or Latin decent for the character. That's what I meant when I threw tight ringlets out there...not to be nit-picky, just to imply I wouldn't mind seeing a Black, Latin, or biracial actress in the role. Ran was actually the one who brought it to my attention that GRRM mentioned Apollonia as his inspiration for the character. She definitely fits the pallet I'd envisioned.

But, really, with these casting topics, it's just shots in the dark. In all honesty, I'd be fine with pretty much anyone people have thrown into the ring.

Oh ya you bring up some good points I didn't catch that Apollonia part, I think that's a really good point now that I think about it African/Latin decent would be fantastic and add a little more diversity to the show. :agree:

I don't see Arianne as African. Now, someone like Salma Hayek in From Dusk 'Till Dawn, perhaps with a more tanned skin, could work..... Now excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom for about 20 minutes :leaving:

I looked at Selma Hayek but she fought my eye as been sought of more like an Ellaria Sand as well ( age wise )

I wouldn't mind Pinto, but I don't think she's exactly what GRRM described. Arianne is dark, short, very curvy and voluptuous, with curly hair -- curly as in tight ringlets, not waves. Pinto is very waify to me, which has been my problem with a lot of the recommendations for Arianne. Arianne has to be a real bombshell.

That's exactly why I want Antonia Thomas. She's short with a curvy figure, curly hair, full lips, and she can do sexy extremely well. I'm a straight girl, but I'd do her.

And she proved she can do fragile and hurt well.

I don't think so. And with the aging up of characters, who's to say she's still 23? Ned was supposed to be 35 in the book but was played by a 51-year-old; no idea how old he was supposed to be in the show.

Anyway, Homeland's filming begins in May and GoT's begins in July, so there would be some overlap if one were to do both shows. The only way Baccarin gets the role is if Homeland ends with season 3, which would be nice (the show is still good IMO, but the story is in danger of getting ridiculous if it lasts too long) but unlikely.

GRRM put an Arianne Chapter, With pic, from The Winds of Winter on his sight!

To me, Adrianna Lima fits the description perfectly (but she is not an actress), So to does Catherine Zeta Jones and Monica Bellucci. So anyone who looks like them. Although I would love to see a person with a little more meat on her bones.

MUST SEE:
