Cast listings

[Werthead]

Whilst accurately transposing the cast listings from the episodes to the Wiki, I ran a cropper in that I have no idea who some of these people were playing in the episode.

For Episode 1 I've got four actors I can't place: Rania Zouari, Ian Whyte, Spencer Wilding and Claire Wright. Identifying these characters should be easy as typically only speaking actors are listed, but for Thrones there's a lot of speaking actors who aren't (Kristian Nairn and Sir John Standing are both credited for Episode 1 and neither say anything), so it's a lot less clear.

At a guess, Claire Wright might be the wildling girl resurrected by the White Walkers at the start of the episode. Whyte and Wildling might be guardsmen of various allegiances. Zouari must be the collared servant in Pentos who warns Daenerys against getting into the bath. Any other ideas?

(I suspect I'll come back to this for later episodes :) )

All I can think of are 1) The white walker and 2) The voice announcing Luwin when Ned and Cat are in bed.

I have the same problems, putting this together for our german fansite.

As for episode 2, i have one and a half questionmarks:

Sarita Piotrowski - only plausible choice would be "Jhiqui" in my opinion

Conor Delaney - absolutely no idea

[Edda van Heefmstra Ruston]

1. Sarita Piotrowski is Jhiqui, yes.

2. Conor Delaney appears to be the featured Lannister guard in the inn scene, the one who talks about Nymeria and Lady. (I asked Ran & Linda about it.)

Going back, Ian Whyte is 7'1", so I think he'd be pretty darned obvious on screen. Maybe one of the White Walkers? If that doesn't trigger anything, chances are good that maybe he's a stand-in for someone(s).

Similar with Spencer Wilding, who's 6'7".

I think you're right with Rania Zouari (who may be the ex-Miss Malta?) and Claire Wright.

[The hairy bear]

It's a little bit stupid but... I find amusing the fact that it appears that Ian Whyte was casted as a White Walker, and Claire Wright was casted as a wight.

Now we'd only need Spencer Wilding being one of the mutilated corpses found by Will, and the prologue would have the most fitting cast ever! :thumbsup:

If it really happened that way, surely it must have been planned. That is pretty awesome.

Please help out for episode 3:

Robert Sterne

Nickovich Sammut

Seamus Kelly

Emily Diamond

Possibilities:

Escort guard for Catelyn

Whore

Servant, who welcomes Ned

?

[Talleyrand]

Kristian Nairn is Hodor, not sure about the rest

[Edda van Heefmstra Ruston]

I can't bring his name to mind at the moment, but I know that Ran & Linda have mentioned the "welcoming servant" in their Citadel post on Ep 3. You'll be able to get that from them, definitely.

Emily Diamond (not quite Page 3 material, i.e. NSFW, but be wary.)

I think Robert Sterne is Ned's escort; he's definitely a casting associate, which I remember being mentioned in the Citadel post.

Nikovich Sammut: maybe stunts? Doesn't have GoT on that page, though, so might not be the right person.

Can't find anything linking Seamus Kelly to GoT either. Seamus Lynch is an electrician, though....

[Werthead]

An easy one this week:

Kevin Keenan (not Kevin Keegan as I kept reading it), Patrick Ryan and Ryan McKenna must be the knights in the Crossroads Inn at the end. If they're listed in order of appearance, that's the Whent , Bracken and Frey knight respectively. I note Wikipedia has concluded this as well.

So does that mean that meant that the Whent banner knight is Ser Wyllis Wode? I'm guessing not, since the knight is wearing the Whent sigil directly, not that of House Wode.

Looking at previous Wikipedia listings, Paul Portelli is 'Drunk Man', Nikovich Sammut is 'Goldcloak 1', Seamus Kelly is 'Goldcloak 2' and Emily Diamond is 'King's Landing Whore'. Robert Sterne isn't listed, though is mentioned in the notes.

For Episode 1, Rania Zouari is 'Pentoshi Slave', Ian Whyte and Spencer Wilding are 'Dothraki Brutes' and Claire Wright is 'Dothraki Dancer'. Seems odd that the Dothraki are credited and not the White Walker or the wildling girl.

New guest stars in this episode (from closing credits):

Ciaran Bermingham: Mord

Antonia Christophers: Mhaegen

Kate Dickie: Lysa Arryn

Lino Facioli: Robin Arryn

Finn Jones: Loras Tyrell

Brendan McCormack: Vardis Egan

Alan Paris: probably a King's Landing Guard that speaks with Arya?

I saw that Wikipedia lists Robert Sterne as "King's Landing Guard" and Alan Paris as "King's Landing Guard 2", but Robert Sterne is actually the King's Steward, not a guard, and also appeared in Episode 3: "Lord Snow."

Total of 67 guest stars credited in closing credits through five episodes, plus 18 stars from opening credits. I have complete listing if anyone is interested in seeing it posted here.

Thanks for the update Huan and to everybody else who has helped me to decipher some of the cast so far with their work here. I had the same things on my list including speculating that Alan Paris is the King's Landing Guard. I'd love to see your complete listing if you wouldn't mind posting it. I'm still uncertain re: Spencer Wilding, Ian Whyte, Claire Wright, Nickovich Sammut and Seamus Kelly.

I've made corrections to the wikipedia articles regarding Robert Sterne's role. Here is the link to the episode summary here at Westeros.org.

Whilst accurately transposing the cast listings from the episodes to the Wiki

Where on the wiki are you working on these Werthead? I can't find a cast page - is it just on the individual character pages? If not could you put a link in so we can view / perhaps help?

[Huan]

Here is my list through episode 5. I based my list of actors on the opening and closing credits. (Note that they are not error-free; for example, Antonia Christophers is listed as "Antonia Christopher" in the closing credits for Episode 5.) The list of characters they play is gleaned from multiple online sources, and is not guaranteed to be 100% correct. Corrections are welcomed!

Opening Credits - Sean Bean, Mark Addy, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen, and Aidan Gillen get solo billing, in this order.

Closing credits - Donald Sumpter is listed first and by himself if he's in the episode. All others listed in groups of 4-5. Everyone is "Guest Starring" except Jason Momoa, who is listed last as "Also Starring."

In some cases the role description doesn't clearly reveal which character on the screen the person played; for example, "Dothraki brute", "Dothraki dancer," and "King's Landing whore."

Thanks Huan, definitely no corrections for you - my list reads the same at present. I still feel uncertain about those roles I listed above but am happy that you (and wikipedia) agree with my guesses.

[Huan]

Thanks opark77! This web site seems to have a pretty good list of "significant" characters, and I noticed they include casting for Lord Umber, Lord Glover and Lord Bracken, but no other Northern lords. (Edit: whoops, Lord Bracken is a Riverlands lord, so only Lord Umber and Lord Glover from the North.) I wonder if that means that for example, Lord Bolton won't be appearing in Season 1? I'd think he'd be mentioned as being cast somewhere online if he had been, but I can't find anything.

[Huan]

Interesting to read in this article that Rania Zouari, who plays the Pentoshi servant who helps Dany with her bath in Episode 1 is "a very well-known name on the Maltese film and modelling scene and a former Miss Malta."

[Mr. Donnerfaust]

Nice list, Huan... one minor correction, Esme Bianco as Ros also appeared in episode 1. (don't know if she's in the credits)

Another observation: Marillion is in episode 5, but uncredited.

[The Fan]

1. Sarita Piotrowski is Jhiqui, yes.

2. Conor Delaney appears to be the featured Lannister guard in the inn scene, the one who talks about Nymeria and Lady. (I asked Ran & Linda about it.)

Going back, Ian Whyte is 7'1", so I think he'd be pretty darned obvious on screen. Maybe one of the White Walkers? If that doesn't trigger anything, chances are good that maybe he's a stand-in for someone(s).

Similar with Spencer Wilding, who's 6'7".

I think you're right with Rania Zouari (who may be the ex-Miss Malta?) and Claire Wright.

I clicked on these two links, the second one, Spencer Wilding, has movie posters of the stuff he has been in, and when GoT pops up, the subtitle says: "2011 Television Hero White Walker Game of Thrones HBO"

I think Dothraki Brute might be off, unless he is playing dual roles (and why not?)

[Huan]

Nice list, Huan... one minor correction, Esme Bianco as Ros also appeared in episode 1. (don't know if she's in the credits)

Another observation: Marillion is in episode 5, but uncredited.

Thanks Mr. Donnerfaust! I have Esme for Episode 1 on my list at home but it must have gotten lost in the cut and paste. Emun Elliott (Marillion) is definitely listed in the closing credits of Episode 5.

edit: I will clean up errors and typos and post an updated cast list through episode 6 after Sunday's episode. I could also post through episode 7 unless that would be too spoilerish.
