Maltaran Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Here we areI'm thinking the first part means this is someone who has played Laurence Olivier on screen. Also, maybe this is Walder Frey? Big Daddy certainly fits him, as does the wedding guest title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 And Winter is Coming seems to have got it already - David Bradley (probably best known for playing Filch in the Harry Potter films) as Walder Frey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Duderino Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 And Winter is Coming seems to have got it already - David Bradley (probably best known for playing Filch in the Harry Potter films) as Walder Frey.seems like a good choice, and very close to how I envisioned him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'd pondered David Bradley for Craster before. Walder Frey I'd always envisaged as someone very short (hence the popular Wallace Shawn suggestions), but I suppose that's not a problem if he's spending all his time sitting down anyway.

Ser_not_appearing_yet Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Awesome, he's a solid actor and I'm sure he'll do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Bradley will be a great fit for the role, if it is indeed him. Looks about how I imagined Frey and he plays 'crazy-old-coots' really well, which is exactly what the Late Lord Walder is. I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Nice. :) So we definitely have Walder Frey. That answers one of the big questions left regarding the production. And sets things up nicely for future seasons. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sparrow Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Nice. :) So we definitely have Walder Frey. That answers one of the big questions left regarding the production. And sets things up nicely for future seasons. :)I think Frey was the only big question I had left (outside of actual plot points, but those will have to wait until the show actually airs); Roose Bolton in season 1 isn't anywhere near as important. The only problem with leaving him until season 2 is where do you introduce him, but I'm sure they'll work it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortuna Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Never would have thought of David Bradley. Now that I think on it, he seems perfect for the role. I think I almost pictured Frey exactly like him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Way back in 2005, Tobin suggested Bradley for Walder Freyy. And again in 2008. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly Headless Ned Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Saw Bradley at the National Theatre in the 90's. Harold Pinter's The Homecoming,with Lindsay Duncan,Michael Sheen and Keith Allen. He played the suspected paedophille father and was utterly horrific. Its a brilliant choice for the character. The only other actor who could possibly do a better job is Peter Vaughn but he's already playing Aemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same play on Broadway with Ian McShane in that role of the father (and James Frain as the son who comes back home). Weird but excellent play and the acting was fantastic.

Wouldn't be surprised if he popped up in GOT at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
