Edmure Tully casting - all wrong


The Dragon King

Recommended Posts

Mark my words, The Following will be dead by the time they get to casting Oberyn. I don't think it'll be renewed for a second season, and even if it is, I doubt Purefoy's character will be in it. That would be a really long stretch for a show like this.

I think Madds could juggle two roles. Euron doesn't appear too often in the books, and I doubt they would expand his role too much.

The Following is actually doing pretty well in the ratings:

THough its still early, it predicted to continue. Of course, his character could always die.

Your right about Mikkelson I suppose, its not a very time consuming role, but if he's getting big enough to be the main character of his show, will he be happy to be a minor character on GoT?

I dont see Tobias Menzies as a Tully at all, maybe a Frey but definitely not a Tully.

OTOH, Toby Stevens reeks of being a Tully, he very much looks like he shares blood with Robb and Cat.

I agree, where are the tully looks? I mean they don't have to be good looks but he doesn't really look too tully. He'll be good cause he kind of looks like a doof. but yeah your guy to me fits it better

These kinds of threads always drive me crazy. In a nutshell: Acting >>> Looks.

Mark Addy is not 6'6" tall. Gwendoline Christie is beautiful and feminine. Sean Bean is about 15 years too old. Iain Glenn is one damned good-looking dude.

Do any of these things actually bother anyone now? Why don't we hold off on the "they got this wrong wrong WRONG!!!" reactions until after we see them in action?

I think Ray Stevenson would have made a better Robert Baratheon, he's got a lot more physical presence to pull off the role. Also, the guy from season 2 who played the Mountain stunk compared to Conan Stevens, in large part because he didnt have some incredible physical presence.
