LadyMary Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Apparently I need to get out more because I haven't heard of most of these actresses. Interesting suggestions though. I have to say there are some pics online of Sarah Bolger where she looks like an older version of Maisie Williams which makes her my pick for Lyanna (assuming we ever see the character in the series).

malinky Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Funny, I was talking with an actress friend of mine tonight about good roles to pursue, and I do think she should go after Meera Reed.. However if they ever did plan on showing Lyanna she'd be perfect! This is her http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3569996/ She has a native Northern accent, and is a great actress. Love her.

Tommen Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I know some may be horrified, but Cheryl Cole. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1284632/Lyanna Stark was one of the most beautiful women in the realm, it makes sense to cast someone with that doe-eyed but sultry kind of beauty. Plus she's really, really northern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winds of Winter blow cold Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Not to mention and no offence to the actress, but I've always found Katie McGrath's acting on Merlin to be pretty poor and wooden. She seemed to rely too much on the classic "evil-person-glare, turn away, evil-person-smirk" formula that it became unbearable.Personally I could see someone like Jessica Brown Findlay.You should re-watch S1 & S2 she was written better, so it was pulled off better.

Snake Eyes Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I thought that Astrid Berges- Frisbey would be the perfect Lyanna as soon as I saw herhttp://2.bp.blogspot...%255B1%255D.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot...gs/s1600/27.jpgWhat do you think?While I think she can pull off the role as far as looks go I don't see much fire in her though I could be wrong, I think it's essential that actress playing Lyanna be able to exude a passion and fire that would enthrall an emo boy like Rhaegar, allowing him to finally let go and really enjoy life for the first time.

smallfolktypeperson Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Too bad Jennifer Connelly is not nearly young enough...she looks pretty Stark-ish to me. And she's way too big a star to get for a flashback anyway. And American as well. I think she's got the look though, when I think Stark woman, I think dark with light skin and a longer face...the girl who plays Arya has got the coloring but I've always thought she was a little off in the face (don't get me wrong, she's adorable and will obviously grow up to be a good-looking woman from what I can see)...at any rate, I like the fact that a lot of the casting are relative unknowns (or at the least, unknown to me).

coldplums8 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Holy shit. That Katie McGrath girl is spot-on the way I envisioned Lyanna. Too bad the consensus is that her acting sucks. :(And I have a huge crush on both Eva Green and Liv Tyler, but...not quite Lyanna's flavor and too old, methinks. The other actresses, I think, don't have quite the Stark north look but are all quite lovely. Or a bit too fluffy-cheeked, whereas I pictured Lyanna as kind of a windblown, gaunt, haunting kind of beauty. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesofblaschko Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I know she's like 20 years too old for it but in my fantasy cast Lyanna would totally be Charlotte Gainsbourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dragon King Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Jessica Brown Findlay would be outstanding as Lyanna, she's beautiful and seems like she could easily pull off the spirited she-wolf. http://www.fangirlish.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/snz60z.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gartwyn Harthor Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'd have to agree; either Eva Green or Katie McGrathHoly shit. That Katie McGrath girl is spot-on the way I envisioned Lyanna. Too bad the consensus is that her acting sucks. :(I'm not sure where this "consensus" comes from. It sounds to me like people are basing her entire acting career on the part she plays in Merlin. It's a family show, certain changes have to be made that don't really show off an actor's true potential. From what I've seen of her other work, I'd say McGrath could more than hold her own.
