Follmann Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 OK, if they are doing a Tower of Joy flashback, who's having the flashback? In the books, the only person left alive is Howland. Howland could be the cunning northern lord they are casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barristan Whitebeard Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So here's a recap of every known character reportedly being cast: A pirate: man in his 40’s to late 50’s. He’s an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness. He’s a dangerous-looking man. A very good part this season. Fits the description of Euron Greyjoy, the "Crow's Eye". A father: Aged 50’s to 60’s, he’s one of the greatest soldiers in Westeros- a humorless martinet, severe and intimidating. He demands martial discipline in the field and in his home. It’s described as “a very good part” for next year and that he’s “centrally involved” in a protagonist’s storyline. Fits the description of Lord Randyll Tarly, the Lord of Horn Hill. A mother: She’s a sweet, plump, and adoring mother, and has a soft spot for one of her children who benefits from her decency. Fits the description of Lady Melessa Tarly. A sister: She’s a kind, friendly and unpretentious woman. Fits the description of Talla Tarly. A brother: Athletic, a good hunter, an excellent swordsman, manly, not particularly bright but the favourite child of the father. Fits the description of Dickon Tarly. A priest: A gruff ex-soldier who found religion. Now a no-nonsense rural priest who ministers to the poor of the countryside. He’s salt-of-the-earth man who has weathered many battles. Fits the description of Septon Meribald. A leading actress with a traveling theater troupe: In her early 40’s, she’s an elegant actress with a traveling theatre company. Fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in the troupe. A priestess: Mid-20’s to early 30’s. Any ethnicity- she’s beautiful, intense, and magnetic. A fierce warrior: A tall man in 30’s or 40’s with a powerful physique. They’re looking for someone with “mixed ethnicity” for the role. Fits the description of a Dothraki Khal, presumably Khal Jhaqo. A large boy: With an actor who is 10-12 but playing 7 or 8. He’s described as “a clever boy” who seems too large for his age. He’s big and tall but not fat. “Characterful squat features” are a plus for this part. it’s specified that this is a one-time appearance. A 12 year old boy: With brown hair and blue eyes. He needs to use a Northern accent. He has scenes where he has to spar with a wooden sword.The length of the role isn’t specified. A 7 year old boy: with dark brown hair, a narrow face and green eyes. He also has a Northern accent. He also spars with the wooden sword, so it’s safe to assume it’s the same scene. This role is similarly open-ended, the description only stating that the character is being ‘introduced.’ A Child of the Forest Qhogo and Akrat, two Dothraki. They’re seeking mixed ethnicity or other non-white actors for the roles. The successful young warriors need to be tall, confident, with swagger and linguistic bravado. It’s noted that the actors will have to speak in a fictional language. Bower, a servant: He is a powerless servant, numb to the horror he serves. He’s filming around one of the days that below “outlaw band” members are so he may be connected to them. He is required to have a Northern or Midland English accent and appears in one episode Lachlan, an outlaw leader: He’s the big leader of a group of renegades who have turned on the land that they swore to protect. They’re now extorting the poor and vulnerable. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6. Flynn: He’s part of an outlaw band. The group is using religion to justify terrorizing and extorting what they need from the people of the countryside. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6. He appears to be part of Lachlan’s band. Japeth, an outlaw:Another member of the outlaw band is this lieutenant. He’s a “rough-and-ready type” with a strong physical presence, also appearing two episodes. Several members of an "outlaw band" of "broken men" raiding the people they once swore to protect - loosely matching the description of raiders and bandits in the Riverlands subplot. A legendary fighter: A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a famous sword. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles. It is speculated this may be Ser Arthur Dayne. Dayne died in Robert's Rebellion, but several other castings indicate flashback scenes may appear in Season 6. A Lord of a Noble Northern House who fits the description of a member of House Umber: The lord is a savage warrior, and he rules a distinguished house in the very far North, and the role is said to be an impactful one. He’s described as a massive bear of a man with a beard and temper to match, and hatred that run deep, and he can be violent. The show’s looking for someone with a powerful physique who can tower over other cast members, a Northern English Accent and specifies he has to be at least 180 cm tall. The role will be on 2 episodes. A Lord of a Noble Northern Stronghold: The show’s looking for an actor in his late thirties or forties to play another lord, one that’s ruthless and calculating. The frightening lord rules a vassal household with a castle stronghold. He’ll be in 3 episodes this year, with 20 days of filming this summer and fall. A hunter: He’s a rough army officer on the hunt appearing in an action scene with main cast, in one episod A submissive maester: The show’s casting a maester in his twenties- a timid young maester. He’s decent but has trouble standing up to others. He appears in one episode in season 6. A green recruit: A young man with one line and one day of filming in August. A sympathiser (1). A sympathiser (2). A sympathiser (3). These are rough military types, with a day of filming. A housemaid. She’s the motherly nanny (with a tight whip) to a large household. The show wants an actress between the ages of 45-65 with a Northern English Accent. She’ll be in 2 episode A father: He’s tough and old, an alpha male patriarch. The show is looking for a man with a Northern English Accent. He appears in one episode and has 2 lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Penry Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Definitely Arthur Dayne and the Smiling Knight/Kingswood Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarkar Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Everyone keeps saying Arthur Dayne (and i really dont disagree) But why could it not be Azor Ahai. Maybe the flashback is to finally show viewers the AA theory? (i think it will be AD, im just thinking outside the box) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Beefheart Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just a few ideas for the Arthur Dayne flashback, other than Bran:It could be Jaime's flashback. They may be taking his redemption arc further this season, and he could be remembering Arthur Dayne and how he wanted to be him. It would make sense with the Smiling Knight/Kingswood Brotherhood ideas someone above had. Or, and I like this one better, Melisandre could be seeing the TOJ in her flames, as R'hllor leads her to the idea that Jon is AAR, leading her to revive him.

Woofless Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 If the legendary fighter is Arthur Dayne , will it be a flashback or is he still alive ? This is my thought that it's a flashback to the Tower of Joy. But who is left alive to describe / remember it except for Howland Reed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippocras Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 re:Outlaws castingAll hail Gendry Baratheon, rightful heir to the Throne, Prince of the Outlaws, Lord of Harrenhal, Defender of Riverlands, Demolisher of the Sparrows, and Rower of Boats.I kind of hope so!

Hippocras Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 or at the Citadel! Though I agree it's most likely Vic's maester reassigned to Euron. But I am so psyched for Citadel tooooo!Wouldn't the Boltons have a maester?I just simply don't see the point of the show including a maester with the IB. All he does is get raped then die. No story significance beyond characterization of Vic, who is cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elric of Melnibone Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 a random casting suggestion for Arthur Dayne-- he definitely fills the sword proficiency part Scott Adkins: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0012078/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReal_Rebel Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 This is my thought that it's a flashback to the Tower of Joy.

Stannis is the man....nis Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So let me gets this straight they just killed off Stannis and now they are going to bring Umber and Glover, etc. in?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReal_Rebel Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So let me gets this straight they just killed off Stannis and now they are going to bring Umber and Glover, etc. in?!Umber, likely.Which means Osha and Rickon.but Glover? Sounds more like a Karstark.i really wanted that Battle of Ice. I bet they give Stannis's tactics to UnJon or JonPlus or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hos the Hostage Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 If there is a ToJ flashback, I would like it if Matt Smith plays the young Ned. (IMO, he looks a bit like Sean Bean in this photo of a young Bean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippocras Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So let me gets this straight they just killed off Stannis and now they are going to bring Umber and Glover, etc. in?!Don't see why Umber would need Stannis? He has Rickon probably in the show, and that is where he comes into the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has Rickon probably in the show, and that is where he comes into the story.Stannis is still the best tactician, strategist there is. That his mercenary army ran off, has nothing to do with his ability fight and strategize for others. A chastened Stannis might be useful to the Northern cause against the Boltons. Also useful to Jon to plan battle against the WWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
