dreamcatcher Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If they cast Harry Lloyd (not that he wasn't brilliant), the already confused viewers would be even more confused. As good as some actors were, we need new faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UVA Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've always been a Charlie Hunnam advocate for Rhaegar, but I wonder now if he might be too old -- similar argument against Skarsgard. I think that Alex Pettyfer might be a better incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagaz Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Charlie Hunnam as Rhaegar will be very good. I wonder if he had resolved his crush on Littlefinger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urien the Ragged Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 are we assuming Rhaegar is a hulking, longer-haired version of Viserys? more of a granite-jawed Aegon I/Daemon Blackfyre-type?what are we envisioning here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A 1000 eyes and one. Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Michael Fassbender, if he dyes his hair?He would make a better Hizdahr than Rhaegar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseHB Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If they ever do a Reaghar Targaryen flashback, Alexander Skarsgard would be perfect he can play that seductive role, and also have a charming personality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parise Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I don't agree, he doesn't have that certain looks required to play Rhaegar.. this is hard. Need to go on the hunt for somebody suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 My pick would be Ian Somerhalder (with dyed hair or a wig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dernhelm Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 the same guy who played viserys should play rhaegar. daenerys during her house of the undying trip she had a vision of a guy she initially mistook for viserys but the eyes were darker so she realised it was rhaegar so that suggests that those two really looked alike aside from two small details: eye colour and sanity.actually, Viserys' Harry Lloyd looks A LOT like Tom Hiddleston, Thor/Avengers' Loki. so that's another possibility, and he's not too old (1981). :)as for me, ok so eventually i realized that Orlando Bloom (don't blame me for jumping on that bandwagon! it was the medieval garb+long blonde/silver hair as Legolas that did it!) might be too old for the mid-20's role (he's 35 for goodness' sake!) so i tried to think of others and out of the blue Matthias Schweighöfer came to mind.the more i look at him, the more i'm convinced that he is perfect for Rhaegar. his eyes, his expression have an inherent brooding sadness in them and while his smile is charming you still feel like you want to give him a hug every time.it doesn't help that i saw pictures of him reading a book lol or that he has played a tragic role as The Red Baron (Manfred von Richthofen). funny cos he acted opposite Lena Headey in that one :)he's just the right age i think (born in 1981, same as Loki!) and even if he's 30 now, his looks, soft features say otherwise and could easily pass off as someone younger! plus points for being a not too famous, obscure but decent actor, naturally blonde hair. and don't worry about him not being fluent in English because he speaks the language very well.

sagaz Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 hey, in some pictures he look a lot like Charlie Hunnam! I'd like for Rhaegar. Good catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not handsome enough, I guess.. He'd bee a good Young Griff, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dernhelm Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 i think he's attractive enough that he can actually pass off as a woman sometimes. anyway, it's nothing a little makeup can't candle. the important thing is in the vibe he gives off with his general shy/gentle demeanor, and he's a very promising young European actor. plus he'd be too old for Young Griff.

FrozenFire3 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Jason Isaacs 15 years ago would've been a fine choice too.Have always imagined him as a younger version of Jason. He can pull the silver-blond wig look effortlessly (Lucius anyone? :lol:), indigo eyes, charisma, talent and that hard and yet vulnerable touch he manages to give his personas. Alas tempus fugit :frown5:Aw after the HotU fiasko I do hope we'll still get a glimpse of Rhaegar in Meera's tale... A girl can still hope :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toccs Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I totally agree that Bruce Campbell needs to be involved, though obviously/probably in a minor role.How about Bruce Campbell for Brown Ben Plumm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Aegon Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Alexander Skarsgård for The Prince of Dragonstone! Put some long hair on that man and he can play the sad Rhaegar Targaryen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Aegon Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Alexander Skarsgård is way to famous actor to be playing such a minor role. The most we will ever see of Rhaegar would be though some minor Jaime or Barristan flashback, which would only last a few minutes. They wouldn't pay Skarsgård for such a small appearance.Hey dont count him out cus of that. His dads a famous actor but he always tries to make some B films aswell as those big projects. Alexander might very well be a fan of the show and be delighted to take part in it. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojzelote Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Aside from the apparent Legolas (don't hate me) . . .How about this nameless guy cosplaying for Sephiroth?http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=sephiroth#/d227f6sIt can't be that hard to find a decent, "pretty" actor with a drop of charisma.

The character is a similar age to Robb, Jon and Dany, who are all played by 25~ year-olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aslerys Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well I must admit that I'm not familiar with his work so I don't know if he is actually a good actor but looks wise I think he would fitToby Hemingwayhttp://thefilmstage.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ec96ab34e6e5ec229eece2a96e7a3886.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
