Rhaegar Targaryen


Rhaegar the Unbeliever

Recommended Posts

It's not enough to just find some depressed pretty boy to play the part. It has to be a talented actor with a certain darkness behind the eyes. Rhaegar may not have been insane, but he was deeply obsessed with prophecy and just as burdened by what he thought was his own role in history. He didn't just walk around being beautiful and OMG SO MYSTERIOUS.

Agreed thus making the casting such an immense task. Not many people seem to fit in this role and I'm not sure what the show runners have in mind for him. Maybe they already have someone under contract but keeping it in secret for they don't want to give the RLJ "secret" away by an obvious cast of RT? I honestly think we won't get any cast pictures or announcements that could in any way hint that this is Rhaegar

Of course you need a solid actor to play the part, but you certainly don't need an actor who is melancholy himself.  In other words, the actor doesn't have to be cool and tough to play cool and tough well.  Amadeus Serafini has done a solid job in Scream and definitely looks the part.  Here are some photos:...and Daario 1.0 was definitely superior to Daario 2.0.  He had that arrogant badassness down.  Daario 2.0 looks like the hipster lothario barista at Starbuck's.

Luke Bracey is a little more masculine looking and has the lead role in the Point Break remake:

Who were some of your picks for the role?
