gunner98 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 There are Robert's Rebellion Casting threads here but I've never seen any Blackfyre Rebellion Casting, so just for the fun of it who would you cast for Blackfyre Rebellion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Paul McGann hasn't got the Dornish look at all. Both of those fancasts are all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annara Snow Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 what about the others Those are just the ones that struck me the most, but the rest of them aren't great either - Purefoy is also over 20 years older than Gleeson, and I didn't want to say anything about Gleeson since I haven't seen him in anything, but physically he doesn't look right for Bloodraven to me. And I forgot to mention that your Baelor is older than his own father. Or were you just doing fantasy casting with no regard for ages? Regardless, Paul McGann and Eion Macken are completely wrong for those roles, whatever their ages. For Bloodraven, I could see perhaps Paul Bettany. I've imagined James Purefoy as Baelor in Dunk & Egg (though he's 50 now, he could pass for younger). However, if we're talking the First Blackfyre rebellion, then Bloodraven, Daemon Blackfyre, Bittersteel and Baelor should all be in their mid to late 20s. Even with the typical Hollywood casting of older actors to play younger, and possible aging, they should at least all be in their 30s... so I don't know, I'd have to come up with younger actors.
