Nittanian Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 McTavish would be a great choice, but David O'Hara (The Tudors, Luther, Gotham) would also be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran the Bodybuilder Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Stephen Lang. That's how I imagined Randyll Tarly! Looks nothing alike Sam, but hey, he never did in my imagination. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3cbulUUjez0/Tk4F4wtJ8QI/AAAAAAAAMXU/bZ7Sfn1WW-g/s1600/Conan_the_Barbarian_Stephen_Lang.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Meribald Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Angus Macfadyen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005171/?ref_=tt_cl_t8 Robert Rogers in TURN, actually looks a little bit like Sam and could definatly pull off the Randyll Tarly act!!

RedViperHD Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 My vote here goes to the classic, Clancy Brown. He has the HBO connection as he was on Carnivale as the preacher turned demon, Brother Justin. He showed off a lot of subtleties in this role but this is an actor that can pull off a huge animated performance just as well as anyone. He has truly amazing range. Of course, he also has experience swinging a sword and he is sort of the original sword swinger as the villain in the Original Highlander film, the Kurgan. Another actor with a great voice too. http://www.famousbirthdays.com/headshots/clancy-brown-3.jpghttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/2014/08/general_wade_eiling_clancy_brown_a_l.jpghttp://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100329041827/spongebob/images/3/33/Clancy_Brown.jpghttp://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/6063/4022476-aap-prem-45.pnghttps://36.media.tumblr.com/531e530e2a5768c70e6b33b1b3d98825/tumblr_n6z2m72mDf1qh4mpzo1_1280.jpghttps://40.media.tumblr.com/71f7b419ce75b18828d8217cf7dadae8/tumblr_muzuv3ntpc1qzrdsyo3_250.jpghttps://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000504182637/f1b9db1829510a6aa3d850da3e94b097.jpeg http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/thumb/2/20/Sardag_randyll_tarly.jpg/250px-Sardag_randyll_tarly.jpghttp://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130216150752/gameofthrones/de/images/0/07/Randyll.pnghttp://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/3/37/Randyll_Tarly_TheMico.jpg He has a presence on the screen a lot like Charles Dance does. It just commands you. Listen to that voice, he has two words in this small scene from Carnivale but his presence and voice just command attention from an audience. Clancy Brown would instantly bring the respect that would be needed on screen to a legendary warrior character like Randyll Tarly. GOT would spend so much less screen time having to establish that respect the way they would with a newbie actor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq3v5XNuMis More scenes from his character in Carnivale:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYUziemo6A8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0BL1kvXHUw And of course, during his younger years with a sword, what can I say, the first film is an underground classic and he was great in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j6_H-PSml0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtfraUvyd_w If a classic fantasy actor like Clancy Brown swings the Tarly Valyrian Steel Ancestral Blade, Heartsbane, in any battle scene next season then I think the heads of millions of fantasy geeks all over the world will collectively explode. Besides, what better excuse to tell people for not being able to live up to your father than "Well, you see, my dad is...sort of...you know, the Kurgan..." Dragonglass and Valyrian Steel may kill White Walkers, but the Kurgan eats White Walkers and Dragons for breakfast! Now, if only GOT can somehow add Queen to the soundtrack.

The Onion Kniggit Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Funny enough I think Stephen Dillane himself looks more like how I imagined Tarly appearance wise than Stannis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadwood Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Funny enough I think Stephen Dillane himself looks more like how I imagined Tarly appearance wise than Stannis. Or Mark Strong, I always pictured STannis as Mark Strong, but not now, but I reckon he'd be good as Randall. I think the threat of violence at any time needs to be there, and the actor should be physically, vocally and aesthetically intimidating. I never would have thought of him on my own but Tim McInnerny would be spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBlackfish1 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Still banging the drum for Brendan Gleeson. I want Brendan Gleeson for Wyman Manderly And I need Graham McTavish as Randyll, saw him at Armageddon here in NZ and he gave off a pretty intimidating vibe although he did seem like a nice guy.

Ser Matris Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Graham McTavish as Randyll would be awesome. Now that I hear that, I won't be able to picture him as anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatrineDiggerBrian Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Lord Whitehill in the Telltale game is very similar to what I envision Randyll Tarley being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedViperHD Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I've never been a huge fan of McTarvish. I don't think he is a bad actor but I would never single him out as being particularly very talented? He reminds me of Ben Kingsley with muscles and half the talent. Again, no offense to McTarvish but the guy he happens to look like is a very, very talented actor.

Aemon's counsel Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I want Brendan Gleeson for Wyman Manderly Gleeson would be a great Manderly in one sense as he's a very likable presence, but personally I'd prefer to have someone who would seem less likable initially while we're assuming that he's loyal to the Boltons and the Lannisters - someone who can seem fawning or weak-willed - in order to make the revelation of his Stark loyalism all the more surprising. For me, the ideal actor would be Timothy Spall. He's very good at villains and otherwise-unlikable characters (Peter Pettigrew, Turner), but he's also someone who people really warm to in the right role. Also, he looks like a walrus. Before Season 5 I'd have said that he's too big an actor for a side character, but from what I saw of Season 5 (the first six episodes - I couldn't stomach the rest) High Sparrow didn't get much screen time, and Jonathan Pryce is a very successful, well-known actor.

jbob Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Randyll has to look a bit like he could be the father of the actor who plays Sam though. He also has to be someone you can think of as a fighter. There has to be a very martial an military aspect to him. Brendan Gleeson fits all of those perfectly. He played a warrior in Braveheart and a general in Edge of Tomorrow. He can play intimidating people and smart people. If not him then Tom Wilkinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
