Mads Mikkelsen is a long shot for Euron...

James Purefoy!



or, Jack Huston!



But seriously, that part should go to James Purefoy. Anyone who hasn't seen Rome needs to watch Rome, not only was it a great show, but it had a great number of GOT actors in it and a great many more who should be in GOT.

James Purefoy seems good for the part, but I'd prefer to see him as Victarion. Since they probably are going to merge the two Greyjoy brothers (allowing them to skip or deeply modify the kingsmoot, which I am certain they are going to do), I'd stick with Lars.

They will probably make the Kingsmoot a Asha/Yara VS. Euron thing. The mikkelsen brothers would be great as Euron and Damphair though. But James Purefoy would be way better. In Rome he was funny but still had a very dangerous feel to him.



Especially this scene comes to mind;


"Winter doesn't last forever, spring comes, snows melt"


"That's a threat!"


"I assure you it is not. Snows always melt"

Haha, so many memorable lines from Purefoy in Rome. Just a shame that he hasn't been in GOT yet. He could have easily been at the Wall or he would have played a great Oberyn too. In the end Pascal was great though. Still, I'd love to see him as Euron.

A couple-a-few nights ago I spent some serious time, a good hour maybe? Googling up first "A List British Actors" , then moving to "Young A List British Actors" , then realizing I was getting nothing but old people and kids, so I had to keep on keeping on, moving search terms and getting a nice list of people to look through - I was trying to figure out who I would pick for Arthur Dayne if I was the guy picking etc.



Then I moved on to "European" actors and kept thinking to myself, who is that guy I always thought was great and is famous on that show now, you know that show about that guy, and he was in that movie, actually a couple of them, what's his name, what was tht movie name, etc.



I realized I was too tired to think right and not making any real progress so I went to bed and gave up. This totally reminded me I was thinking about Mads Mikkelsen! Now I am not saying he'd be great for Euron because I think he'd be great at a lot of parts. In fact if he was 10 years younger he would be right up there for my Arthur Dayne choice. But yeah, I agree, this guy definitely needs to be put into GoT ... Euron is fine with me, but we gotta get him into this party because he is perfect for it.

Purefoy seems badass but Mads or bust for me. Dude was born to be Euron.

OP, why do you think Mads is a long shot? He's not exactly the most busy of guys and could slot in GOT during the 2nd half of this year.

It is not about time for shooting. Mads is a very well-known and high-profile actor, as much as Sean Bean from first season. I doubt that he would even consider to be in GoT unless it was for a really big part (again, like Sean Bean), and Euron would not have that much screentime. I could be wrong, but I can not see this happening, although it would be truly awesome.

Euron's S6 arc is mostly from Winds, so we don't know how big or small he part it really is.

Speaking of Hannibal actors, Hugh Dancy needs to be Garlan, if only so GRRM can stop talking about how important his role in Winds is gonna be and how the show shouldn't have cut him out

Why you wish Garlan wrong? Better let him have Griff fate and remain in the Land of Making (kinda) Sense... or you want him end up like Stannis? or Sansa? You want Garlan being killed by Ramsay? Raped by Brienne? wait... how was it?

Even if they wanted to bring Garlan, they couldn't. They crossed that bridge in Season 3, establishing Loras as the heir to Highgarden. If they bring him in as a cousin or someone from a lesser branch of House Tyrell, I could see it happening, what with Loras being imprisoned and shit.

Pirate, man in his 40’s to late 50’s. He’s “an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness.” He’s a dangerous-looking man. A very good part this season.

Seems like the part isn't that small^^
