Queen of Winter Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I was going to suggest perhaps Lee Pace from the Hobbit movies, but believe he's really tall. Also I'm not sure if the powers that be are looking for someone already known, or a big name to fill the role. I'm thinking they want a good actor, but someone without a lot of notoriety. I've heard a lot of people toss about Alexander Skarsgård's name, both here and on other forums, but something about him makes me feel he's not the right fit for the role. Can't put my finger on what it is though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 25/6/2016 at 3:04 PM, Jedi Renee said: I see several others have suggested Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I totally agree. He's quite slim and similar to visyris, and a great actor! No way He has quite a petulant actitude while acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan of Rosby Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I've always pictured a sort of cute, innocent sort of beauty to play Rhaegar. Someone Jon Connington would fall head over heads in love with, not (just) lust after. Jonathan Rhys Meyers has that sort of sharp, high-cheekboned beauty that can be quite sexy but intimidating.

Lol I like this choice. Harry Lloyd would be good too. I like Chris Hemsworth and Alexander Skarsgård, but I think Rhaegar should be more refined and melancholic.

Bear Claw Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I like Aiden Turner. He might be too old though. However, I think he looks young and could play a role younger than his actual age. Also, I don't know how he would look with silver hair, but I could definitely see him portraying the noble, handsome, and melancholic Rhaegar.

Rory Snow Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Seems like everyone is just choosing the prettiest boy they know, but Rhaegar Targaryen has to be a believable warrior as well as handsome. A Chris Hemsworth type, without the notoriety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me Rhaegar is more melancholic and poetic type, the one how could draw the whole Westeros into a civil war because of some prophecy. I would like Chris Hemsworth to play Aegon the Conqueror.

Lord Lannister Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Given the mental image I have of Rhaegar in my head, I'm almost thinking that putting him on the screen at all will diminish from that, no matter who portrays him. Hearing of his deeds from others sort of builds up the hype and actually seeing it would remove the mystery that surrounds his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZG1234 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've always pictured Alexander Skarsgard as Rhaegar. He has the Valyrian look and the acting chops to carry on the role in any potential Robert's Rebellion or Targaryen-history-type miniseries.

Ashes Of Westeros Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 As Henry Lloyd already portrayed another Targaryan, Viserys, I vote for Alex Pettyfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even looks like Jon a bit, his accent is right, he has that melancholic, romantic appeal (Box Tunnel Massacre) and he has established himself as a good actor. What we cannot know if how they want to handle age. But this guy looks right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princessmaria Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think the British actor, David Oakes, who played Juan Borgia in "The Borgias" and George, Duke of Clarence in "The White Queen," would make an excellent Rhaegar Targaryen. He is a marvelous actor, handsome, and has experience in medieval period pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
