lunadangelo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I am a bit confused. We have heard that the Magnar is being cast. But which one?WinterIsComing states that it is Styr http://winteriscoming.net/page/2/butthe original source, pharout on Tower of the Hand http://towerofthehan...grrm/index.htmlmentions Magnar without being specific. Styr should be dead by the end of the season so it would make sense to me if they cast Signor!?Or do you think Styr will survive?What do you think and either way who would YOU cast?

Myrish Swamp Thing Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I would merge them into a single character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protar Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 They're almost certainly being merged. They wouldn't introduce a brand new character just for Jon to kill him off ignominiously at the start of the season. Can this be taken as hope the Alys Karstark will be cast? Otherwise there's little point to either Magnar's inclusion: All Styr does is die at Castle Black and all Sigorn does is marry Alys. It would have been simpler to just have Mance send generic reinforcements but instead he sends Styr - which suggests the Thenn are going to have some importance.

Peasant Rebel Leader Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well, 'merged' isn't right. One takes the talk of the other ;) The question is if they go for a younger wildling or an older one. (And I'd argue they'll go for the younger one that can marry random Northern noble lady aka Alys Karstark). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunadangelo Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I would merge them into a single character. Yeah, I agree with all of you actually. A younger one who won't seem to old to marry Alys, would be ideal.So who would you pick?Personally have been thinking about a role for David Oakes since he died in the Borgiashttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm2845631/ or alternativelyTom Cullen from World Without End. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3665787/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liefde Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Well, it was Yorick van Wageningen whose audition tape was leaked, and he is 49: http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0905691/Fingers crossed that Alys will be cast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eetrebor Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 His audition video for role leaked, its not known if he got the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liefde Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I didn't mean to suggest that he actually got the part, only that they are auditioning older actors, re: the Styr/Sigorn discussion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godmund Stark Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 A casting call went out in Iceland for big naturally bald men, aren't the thenn bald in the books? Why would they need a big group of thenns for this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunadangelo Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 I didn't mean to suggest that he actually got the part, only that they are auditioning older actors, re: the Styr/Sigorn discussion :)Just asking. :blushing:Am surprised that from that it would appear that they are going to go for Styr instead of Signor, as you suggest. (As some have suggested above, an amalgamation of the two, especially if he is to marry Alys, would appear to be more suitable.)That being the case, I think Graham McTavish might just be the ticket. Whilst he still has ears, he is certainly bold and as you, Godmund Stark said, that's what they are looking for.Here is his picture: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0574615/What do you think?

JonStryker Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Sigorn.Plot-wise there is no need for Styr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrcusOfUndeath Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'd be content if they cast only Sigorn. There's less reason to cast Styr now that Tormund has been the one to take him across the Wall. But, I sure nope we get to see Thenns next season. Wildlings have been amazingly bland. They seem like a single uniform force, and even under Mance, they are anything but that. I feel that out of everyone they've probably been the most misrepresented. Bringing Thenns into the picture might mend that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
