ToTheWolves Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 In some of his photos from certain angles He looks like he could be alfies brother or cousin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Pie Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 He definitely looks so much like Alfie. If I had given two more beeps about the Greyjoys (which currently I do none) I probably would have contemplated how much the casting of all the Greyjoys was beeped up, but I don't, so...

Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 He's around the youngest possible age Euron could be I think. But I hope he plays him a few years older. Dude would've been like 13 in Greyjoy's rebellion. I would have gone for a mid forties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude would've been like 13 in Greyjoy's rebellion. I would have gone for a mid forties. I don't think his age is a problem. In AFFC, Victarion thinks how Euron hasn't aged since he last saw him and still looks young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 33 he'd have been old enough to have captained his own ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHouseHB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I will withhold judgment until I see him on screen. Everyone was mad when they casted Pedro Pascal as Oberyn he turned out to be a fan favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bent branch Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Upside, looks like he could be Alfie's relative. Downside, younger than Gemma Whelan. I'm keeping an open mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was mad when they casted Pedro Pascal as Oberyn he turned out to be a fan favorite. Yes, very wise. I remember the fallout from Pedro's casting and he absolutely smashed the role!! :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrion Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's perfect. Euron is supposed to look basically 28 or so. It's magic or the shade of the evening he drinks. Whether or not the show explains why he's so young looking is up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protar Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I know nothing of the actor, but just from the looks I can get behind him. He looks sort of like Alfie and Euron is supposed to be magically preserved so his youth is not a problem. Given that the time scale of the show is different, I expect Euron will have been gone from the Isles for a very long time. Honestly that was one detail in the books that I found sort of weird - that Euron had travelled the world in just a couple years and in fact had only just left as of the start of the story.

DanïelNorth Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I was hoping for Purefoy or Mikkelsen, but I think Piliou can nail the "Crazy & charismatic" role aswell. Loved his role in Borgen, didn't notice him the Borgias. (Everybody was overshadowed by Jeremy Irons in that show anyhow). The age difference is a bit weird compared to the actor who plays Balon though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So Balon's mom had two kids, 40 years apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippocras Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Reposting from another thread: Sorry to ask, but I have been absent for a while and despite having gone back quite a few pages may I ask, Roberts who?? As for Pilou Asbaek, I think he is a very good actor. I saw him in Borgen, the Borgias and 1864. Whilst I believe he could do Euron justice, he just seems too young for me. He could be Theon's older Brother but Balon's younger one ? I just can't see it. He is only 33. So okay he is slightly cross-eyed (which could possible imitate / replace the impact of an eye-patch?) and his eyes bulge a little, but still?Eric Roberts see discussion:http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/133963-max-von-sydow-tweeting-eric-roberts/ To me Asbaek seems more like this guy:http://watchersonthewall.com/spoiler-country-game-of-thrones-casting-for-a-rugged-type-character-confirmations-and-an-intriguing-nikolaj-coster-waldau-rumor/ Maybe the source got it wrong?

Crannog-Mage Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Don't know the actor but he fits for what I was expecting on the younger end. Cool deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippocras Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think the source got it wrong. The guy they are saying is Euron is actually playing the other role posted on WotW a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToTheWolves Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Well doesn't victarion think about how euron hasn't seemed to age since he last saw him. And aren't all the brothers quite a bit younger than balon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
