MadaxTheMagnificent Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 -The kindly mans face is rarely shown so a powerful screen presence and voice is need, christopher lee all the way.-he speaks 6 languages including the 3 romantic ones, I am sure he could nail however the directors want the bravosi accent to sound.-When christopher lee is not being a menacing as hell as a badass villian he has a very kindly face-He is excellent at playing authority figures If not as the kindly man I would at least like to see Christopher Lee in some role for GoT, it would be a travesty not to include him in some way.

MercyTheBlindUglyLittleCat Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I didnt know all that about him, but if true, I totally like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo12 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Someone here suggested Ian McDiarmid, would be an even better choice imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerillacropolis Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Alan Rickman would also be a good choice for his ability to portray kindness and at turns a menacing authority. He's such a big name though, I think if Benioff/Weiss were able to land him, they'd want to give him a role with more screen-time.I do like Christopher Lee; his connection to the Hammer and Star Wars films reminded me of Peter Cushing, and I think he would've been great for the role too (if he was still around).

MadaxTheMagnificent Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 For those not aware Chirstopher Lee is Sarumon and count Doku. Considering we won't see his face much we need a damn good voice and for an older man especially Christopher Lee's is about the best you can get, clear authoritative and deep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9468-QKRoCg For anyone not aware of this mans amazing voice.

Deadwood Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Chris Lee is fantastic actor (a Tolkien fan), a sublime voice. He was the best Death (Discworld, which in itself reminds of of House of Cards star Ian Richardson, another perfect candidate for Kindly Man)At 92...could he handle it?

Broken Wolf Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I don't know where Braavos will be filmed, but regrettably, I strongly doubt that Sir Christopher would have the energy to do it. He films everything he does in England now because he no longer has the strength to travel. And sadly, I don't think HBO has that kind of budget to film him in England along with everything else they have to shoot for this show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beorn Snow Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Tom Wlachina (sorry Tom, I don't know how to spell it) as the Kindly Man, please. Nah, he´s needed in Oldtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodymummer Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I like Christopher Lee for this. I'm sure that it would be a "Guest appearance" kind of thing but very cool. Personally, I've always pictured Tom Noonan for this guy. He has a very soft gentle voice and his head is already kind of skeletal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best Death (Discworld, which in itself reminds of of House of Cards star Ian Richardson, another perfect candidate for Kindly Man) At 92...could he handle it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Lee_filmography He shows no signs of slowing down as far as roles go, so I think if he was motivated he could certainly do it. Keep in mind in his youth he was in the british special operations executive who pioneered plastic explosive espionage and were the inspiration for james bond, this is when he wasn't with air divisons or fighting off the russian invasion of Finland (or being a trained sword fighter) Tom Noonan also looks good, I'd just really like Christopher Lee to get a good sized role for what he's done for the fantasy genre in general, without LOTR and him a medieval fantasy TV show might not have taken off, this is the only place I see him fitting in, personally I think he would have kiled Qyburn as he can also seem conniving and sinnister/mad like he was as sauron.

K-26dp Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'd like Patrick Stewart... kindly and authoritative. That said, I'm sure we won't get a "big name". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
