Freddard Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I know this sounds fairly absurd but i like the idea of the great Morgan Freeman to portray Ben in the HBO tv series :P What do you think guys?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Jack Bulwer Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think somebody that vaguely resembles Morgan Freeman would be fantastic.How about Ben Onwukwe, formerly Recall in London's Burning?Experienced TV actor that would not cost much.And he is certainly starting to look like Morgan Freeman as he ages...http://farm3.static...._48df952ff5.jpghttp://farm4.static...._1c98d1b847.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegnor Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah, we could get Morgan Freeman for Plumm, Tom Cruise for the Blackfish, Leonardo DeCaprio for Mance, Adam Sandler for Tom Sevenstreams, The Rock for Belwas, Ben Stiller for Thoros, Sacha Baron Cohen for Reznak, Johnny Depp for Vargo Hoat, Will Smith for Daario Naharis, Mark Wahlberg for Dondarion, and Taylor Lautner for Osmond Kettleblack.

Monty501 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I used to think Nick Tarabay would make a great Brown Ben Plumm.Then I realised Brown Ben Plumm was actually brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mance Mance Fancy Pants Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I may be mis-remembering but the Plumm's are a westerosi family, in the books he was described as well tanned but still white. But, they've changed races before, just look at Xaro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they've changed races before, just look at Xaro...He supposedly had some targaryen blood in him (from one of Aegon the Unworthy's bastards line I think). That is just going from my memory. He isn't from a Westrosi family that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolene Brown Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I am not very observant, so I was thrown too (because of the Plumm thing), but I went back and looked and he's actually a mixture of many many ASOIAF ethnicities with some Plumm thrown in, and he's described as brown-skinned, with almond eyes. I think Summer Islands, Qohorik, Dothraki, and a few other things were in there with the Plumm part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeldude Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thought I'd chime in with my suggestion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_QuarshieHe's on some random hospital show here but was also in Star Wars: Episode 1 and Doctor Who a couple years back, so no stranger to genre pieces. Got the right look for it imo, could easily be aged up a bit if necessary and is a pretty experienced actor: http://www.ashmolean.org/myashmolean/images/Hugh_Quarshie.jpg I can definitely see it working.There's my 2 cents, all depending if the character is even going to be on the show, there's quite a few characters to be cast in Meereen already. Do you guys think we'll be seeing a Ben Plumm any time soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
