The Onion Kniggit Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I kinda like Richard Armitage as Renly, appearance wise. He has a bit of a Baratheon look about him. Maybe he isn't muscular enough but he fits the role better than Gethin Anthony imo Armitage is way more Bob and Stan than Ren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Armitage is way more Bob and Stan than Ren.Young Bob yeah. Which is why I said Renly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Armitage as Stan, sure. Young Bob? No, doesn't fit at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Armitage as Stan, sure. Young Bob? No, doesn't fit at all. Doesn't fit Bob, but he's too good looking for Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Doesn't fit Bob, but he's too good looking for Stan. This is TV so the actor will probably have to look at least a little better than their book counterpart. The only roles that look worse on tv are Yara, Theon and Mance.

And Robert is obviously not 6'6" nor does he look like a guy who was really athletic and strong as a young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but I always thought reading the books that the book version of King Bob was fatter than the show's. I never thought Robert was THAT fat in the show.

I have seen plenty of fit burly football players , in their youth, turn out fat slops only 10 years after retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clawson24 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A lot of the minor roles were nothing like I had anticipated. Bronze Yohn -- meh. He was supposed to be massive, intimidating, and commanding. Edmure -- meh. Maybe it was the poor characterization they gave him but he came across as far more unlikeable than he's supposed to. Definitely agree on the Sand Snakes as well. What's the point of taking the time to introduce multiple, diverse half-siblings only to streamline their looks and personalities?

Roose is Azor Ahai Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Lol no. Do you mean Jorah or Mel? I agree that no Eva Green for Mel, but that guy could've been Jorah, appearance wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadwood Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think the current Mountain is perfect and easily the best. The only one who has the mass of the book Mountain. He does have another career though. Hope he keeps fit for filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaselPie Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Arya, Davos, Varys Jaime, Joffrey, Brienne and Littlefinger (despite his Irish Batman impression) are absolutely perfect to me. The casting for Locke, Tormund, Janos, Olenna and Luwin is also spot-on. Noah Taylor was freaking brilliant! I can't think of another actor who could have played King Robert as angry/jolly/lusty/broody the same way Mark Addy did, but I always imagined King R as a younger and slightly better looking John Rhys-Davies. Maybe Richard Armitage with Rhys-Davies attitude. Mance will always be a younger dark-haired Liam Neeson in my head but Ciaran is incredible and underused in the show. Daario v2 is fine but needs more of the style and attitude of Daario v1. I couldn't stand either Oona/Talisa or Shae/Sibell. The actress who played Roslin had a better look for Robb's love interest. Shae should have been younger and less proud/bitchy. Strange decision to make them both foreigners. The actresses could have switched parts with very little difference. Emilia. Sorry, just terrible. She doesn't have the acting chops, and of all the wigs on the show, hers looks the worst. Pretty girl, but her acting makes me cringe. All the rest fit in the middle somewhere for me. Very distinctive looks (Alfie, Robb, Sophie, Lena for example) are what makes it work. You never seen anyone walking down the street who looks that unique. Two weird things, sometimes I see Peter Dinklage walking around the city. Easy to spot him from a distance. No, I'd never fanboy him when he's out with his family. Also there's a guy in my local market who runs the produce section and girls are always taking selfies with him. He's a dead ringer for Kit.

I've always thought Eva Green would be perfect as Melisandre. This and this are exactly how I picture her in the books. But I wouldn't ever recast Carice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Councillor Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I would have cast a young Sienna Guillory as Asha. I didn't know her, but just from the look at her while searching Google for her, she seems to be more fitting than Gemma Whelan as Asha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
