The Martells


Knepah

Recommended Posts

Alexander Siddig is my Oberyn Martell.

Someone brought up James Callis on the Mance Rayder thread, but what about Alexander Siddig and James Callis as the Martell brothers? They're both skinny, but they could focus on the physical disability aspect of Doran's character? I guess the primary issue is that neither of them seems old enough for Doran, but it's nice like they've focused on age-accuracy thus far. They could go with someone 20 or so with Arianne to make it feasible-ish.

Dear All

Gave the whole casting of the Martells some thought and decided to do a list of actors on fanpop which you can not only vote on, but are also able to ADD other actors you like and leave comments, starting with Doran. I will soon follow up with Oberyn etc.

Before however, I just want to give you a little insight into my choices. Namely, I believe the Martells to be olive skinned and or have dark hair (by and large). However, unlike some peeps on this thread, am not going to typecast. Centuries of migration across the globe put a rest to that. Just look at your average world citizen and you'll find that their DNA is mixed indeed.

So on that basis I give you the actors that could have been amazing as Doran but are either dead or probably too big to consider this role IMO; namely:

Anthony Quinn

Ben Kingsley

Gerard Depardieu (I know he is neither olive skinned nor dark haired but hell, he is a good actor)

Javier Bardem

Daniel Day-Lewis

Whilst the above would be amazing, I have put together a list of actors who may actually consider the role and I think would do an amazing job at portraying Doran.

To look at the choices, vote and add your own choice or leave comments please go to:

Kind regards,

Thanks. Great link with lots of pics of Georges Corraface. Having had a look at all of them, I would probably go for him as well.

PS: The link above was broken but is now working again, so you can actually vote or even add your own choice with pic at the bottom.

Can't believe it my self, but have now also done a list of 10 candidates I believe should and could play Oberyn Martell.

I left out ideal actors such as Benicio del Toro, Joaquin Phonix and Johnny Depp 'cos, I suppose the are too big but who knows! All 3 are renowned to follow their hearts rather than the money.

Anyway the list contains some of the faves mentioned on this thread such as Oded Fehr and can be found at:

You can look, vote, leave a comment or add your own choice.

Cheers

Oded Fehr as The Red Viper would be perfect!, mind you they would have to make him look younger as he's 41.

I agree that Oded would be perfect but I don't think they would have to make him look younger. He's supposed to be close in age to Cersei and Jaime and the actors playing them are around 40. All the characters have been aged up for the show.
