VigoTheCarpathian Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sadly, due to age and size factors, I don't think it would be likely and/or believable (unless heavily made-up, and shrunk a la the hobbits in LotR), but whenever I think of Tyrion, I think of Al Swearengen for some reason. [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0574534/"]Ian McShane[/url] Depending, he might not be a bad Tywin, either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerol Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Count me in on the bandwagon for Peter Dinklage - I mean c'mon he's done fantasy, he's won critical acclaim for not only The Station Agent, also for Richard III. The ONLY choice for Tyrion [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornish Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Put [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3207304192/nm2088803"]Yvonne Strahovski[/url] in an evening gown and she's more or less exactly how I picture Cersei. Sadly, she's a bit on the young side and obviously occupied filming Chuck. Come to think of it... make Matthew Bomer (the guy in the picture) a blond and you've got a reasonable Jaime. Also whatever they have to pay Peter Dinklage to get him on board is well worth it. He's fairly successful, but certainly not A list. He's easily the best small statured actor I've ever seen.

Nearly Headless Ned Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Peter Dinklage as Tyrion is an obvious choice. I'm sure we don't need another link! Tywin- Charles Dance or Christopher Eccleston are excellent choices but may I suggest Harry Groener, he played the mayor in season 3 of Buffy and also King Arthur in a Broadway run of 'Spamalot'. [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0342881/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0342881/[/url] Jaimie- Kevin Mckidd. [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0571727/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0571727/[/url] Kevan Lannister- William Hurt.

However, he may be a bit too old now, so I'll suggest [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1032473/"]Thomas Sangster[/url] The pictures on the IMDB page are a bit out of date, [url="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9f/19June200812.jpg/180px-19June200812.jpg"]here[/url] is something more recent. Unfortunately, he's playing the title role in the new Tintin movie, so probably unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caspian Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0683116/"]Tim Pigott-Smith[/url] as Tywin. Watch him in "The Four Feathers" and you may see what it is that I see in him. I like the Charles Dance suggestion too. If not Tywin, they [i]must[/i] find a place for him somewhere in this series. He's a terrific actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimba Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have to second Ian McShane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0574534/) for Tywin. He was my favorite in Deadwood and I can see him easily fitting the Tywin role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraPrime Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I was also going to nominate Jason McKidd for Jaime. He has the emotional depth, but he may lack the swagger we need for Jaime. Ray Stevenson is also my pick for Hound. He has the physical presence for it. I did think of Benecio del Torro for Hound, too, but he is probably going to cost too much. But if we can get del Torro for hound, Stevenson can be Gregor Clegane. That scene in Rome where he fought the entire gladiator team could translate very well to the Gregor has with Oberon. And if not Gregor, then maybe Bronn the sellsword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefont Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 [quote name='freakinmayhew' post='1586053' date='Nov 12 2008, 04.43']Here's the popular and do-able choices for the Lannisters: Tricia Helfer as Cersei: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1065454/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1065454/[/url] Battlestar Galactica is wrapping up, so she'll probably be available. Jason Lewis as Jaime: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507314/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507314/[/url] Seems to fit his description perfectly. And of course, Peter Dinklage as Tyrion: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/[/url] Need I say more? As for Tywin, the popular choice seems to be Ed Harris, but I'm going to suggest Corbin Bernsen.

Jaime's a pretty boy and quick with a witty comeback, nothing like Vorenus. Both seem tortured, though. I'll go with [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2018237/"]Taylor Kitsch[/url] as Jaime, or maybe Loras. Been watching him on [i]Friday Night Lights[/i] (great show, btw), and I think he has the same, tortured inner-self thing down pat. Sarah Palin for Cersei.

McCloskey Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tyrion - Peter Dinklage Jaime - Jesse Spenser [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817980/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817980/[/url] Tywin - I hadnt heard of Charles Dance but he gets my vote for Tywin. Cersei - Tricia Helfer could work but I also like Kari Matchett: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0558182/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0558182/[/url] Lancel - Michael Mitchell [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1925638/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1925638/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Cheesevillage Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I LOVE the suggestion of Tricia Helfer for Cersei. Can we just hire the whole cast of BSG and throw them in the best fitting roles? You know who I could see as Tywin (if he'd shave off that gorgeous hair and grow a beard): [url="http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=ray+wise"]Ray Wise[/url]. He's charming and cunning, yet completely evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoQBirdie Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 [quote]Jaime - Jesse Spenser [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817980/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817980/[/url][/quote] I love this idea too! People seem to forget that Jaime is only about 30, and is supposed to be as beautiful as Cersei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacuna Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2034539008/nm0005195"]Monet Mazur[/url] as Cersei? IMDB says she's in a pilot for another show, but if it fails, or she can be lured away with a bigger part, maybe..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboroshi Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yet another vote for Peter Dinklage as Tyrion. And ditto Charles Dance as Tywin; he was [i]chilling[/i] in Bleak House. One of the coldest stares I've ever seen on screen. I can't speak on Cersei/Jaime - they're supposed to be a 'matched set'. It will be tricky casting them well.

King Nobody Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I definately second this guy for Jaime [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0391326/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0391326/[/url]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WightMeWorry Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I don't know if he can act, or even wants to, but the producers should definitely look into Halle Berry's boyfriend [url="http://modelsmore.50webs.com/aubry/gabriel35.html"]Gabriel Aubry[/url]. No one matches Jaime's description better. If Jason Lewis and Josh Holloway are thespians, why not this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaedyn Blackfyre Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'd say [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002907/"]Alexander Skarsgard[/url] as Jaime Lannister. He's also been in the HBO series, [i]Generation Kill[/i] and [i]True Blood[/i]. I also like the Joffrey suggestions of [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1263986/"]Max Pirkis[/url] if he hasn't aged too much (1st choice) or [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0271657/"]Tom Felton[/url].
