Young Robert Baratheon - Robert's Rebellion cast

Chris Hemsworth is perfect for young Ned

I have actually gotten attached to the idea of him playing Robert, with dyed black hair of course and Tom Hiddleston playing Rhaegar. I think Hemsworth is too tall, ripped and good looking to play Ned. Ned is supposed to be sort of average phsyically but with incredible character, leadership and resolve.

I agree that he's wrong for Ned. But, I feel Robert is too much like Thor and I would like to see him play a little different role. Though, he would kill it as Robert.

It is not much of a stretch really. Essentially Hiddleston and Hemsworth would just be swapping hair colours. Henry Cavill is probably just a little short of being perfect for Robert. The Tudors showed he could play charming, drinking and womanizing all at once and still be likeable. Plus he looks like Superman (again, a little too short).

I think if they decide to have a flashback - they should use Gendry - Joe Dempsie - with beard and grooming to resemble older Robert.

Not because Dempsie fits the description of young Robert, but because it will give the justification as to why some random people start to suspect his Baratheon connection.

I agree. Great suggestion!!

goffanatic, I've got many of the same actors in my dream cast for Robert's Rebellion but in different roles. Alot of lesser known actors too so this might make for a better cast for a TV version

If this is dream casting, then I agree with most of you. However, if you're trying to be realistic, it's highly unlikely that you would get a cast including Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Henry Cavill. These guys are movie stars already committed to their own huge franchises. And while Game of Thrones may be a respected franchise on a respected television network, there is still a stigma regarding TV and once you've made it into movie stardom, it's rare that actors would go back to television unless they are character actors, their careers take a hit or they are doing a guest spot.



If we're going realistic, I think Henry Cavill is an awful choice. For one thing, it would be hard to believe that he transforms into Mark Addy in seventeen years. The Robert of the show is not tall like he is in the books. I think this would be a more realistic choice - Moe Dunford (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140314131516/vikingstv/images/thumb/0/00/AethelwulfWessex_c1.png/500px-AethelwulfWessex_c1.png). He's strong and reasonably handsome and looks like he could turn into Mark Addy's Robert in seventeen years with some extra weight gain and grey hair.

I think it's great that you've put so much effort into your post but I don't know how well you've thought it out. 92-year-old Christopher Lee to play a younger Grand Maester Pycelle? I don't think so. 26-year old Tom Felton (just four years younger than Harry Lloyd) playing a 5 year old Viserys? Yeah, I'm not sure that would work either.



I do like some of the suggestions though. Eoin Mackey looks like he would play a great Brandon Stark and I could see Bill Nighy playing Aerys Targaryen. Gary Oldman either although I don't think he does much TV. Charlize Theron's a big fan of the show so it would be wonderful to see her play Rhaella but I don't know if she'd take the giant pay-cut.



I don't think we'll ever see a Robert Rebellion TV show anyway because HBO/GRRM seem pretty committed to telling the story within the actual Game of Thrones show/books. This does seem like a decent topic for casting these actors in flashbacks (which I think we will get once Bran does his weirwood thing).

I actually see another Hemsworth for young Robert Baratheon: Liam Hemsworth, Gale in The Hunger Games trilogy.



http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2955013/?ref_=nv_sr_2



He does fit the description offered in AGOT. Besides, since both Natalie Dorner and Gwendoline Christie are joining Liam in Mockinjay parts I and II, we might as well continue with the GoT/Hunger Games actors connection :P



Liam's big bro Chris would fit more a Targaryen character and Sam Claffin (also of HG) could be a good Rhaegar. He portrayed a very convincing Finnick so he could as well manage Rhaegar.



Off topic: If we could only recast Jena Malone as Asha Greyjoy to portray the badass that she actually is in the novels...*dreams*

Chris Hemsworth would make a better young Robert than Ned.



You would have to use the GOT actors as a guideline for a prequel or flashback cast, not the books. That is why I like Sam Claflin as a young Ned because he could pull off a young Sean Bean, despite not being what I would imagine a young Ned looking like (grey eyes, long face, brown hair). The same especially applies to Lyanna, if she is Jon's mother (I have to say that...people get peeved when theories are treated as fact :dunce: ) then you can't have Kit Harrington with black curls and brown eyes, Rhaegar with silver hair and Lyanna with brown hair and grey eyes. Seriously, people get caught up on ''Black hair = Baratheon' so Jon would be presumed the lovechild of Lyanna and Robert if neither of his supposed parents (Lyanna and Rhaegar) have black hair and it can't be Rhaegar. People would think it is a twist within a twist. :lol:



Ned- Sam Claflin



Lyanna- Jessica Brown Findlay

Or Adelaide Kane-


http://images.hngn.com/data/images/full/16107/adelaide-kane.jpg?w=600



Although, I think the similarities between her and Kit might be too much. Surely people would notice Jon is a male Lyanna when he looks nothing like Ned?



Brandon- Eoin Macken or François Arnaud



Make Brown eyes a Stark genetic (Lyanna and Brandon) which would explain why Bran and Jon have brown eyes (on the show, at least). Yes, I take the genetics seriously.

I think the perfect young Robert Baratheon is Henry Cavill. Robert was a very strong guy in his youth, and some seem to think of him as a beast. He was a beast. When he was furious you had to fear him, but he was also known for his charm.

He is a big, blackhaired guy, and he has blue eyes. He's handsome enough to be Robert.

There go a few pictures of Henry Cavill for those of you who don't know who he is. I found some shirtless pictures so we can discuss if he's muscled like a maiden's dream (that's what Ned said about Robert).

No. He needs to be much younger. And less stereotypically handsome.
