The Khal Who Rode West Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wonder who this guy ishttp://alexcusackmanagement.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/eddie_jackson.jpg Watchers on the Wall says he was cast. According to his management's site he plays 23-30 year olds and the only person who fits that from the casting rumours is Dickon Tarly who's supposed to be 20-25 years old.

Barristan Whitebeard Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So here's a little recap of every known character reportedly being cast so far: 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 lin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViniciusMJ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Could be anyone and all that, but don't you think he'd make a good Crannogman? :agree: And could very well indeed be young Howland Reed (unintentional rhyme). Which would mean they are going to play the Tower of Joy piece pretty much how it happened in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Khal Who Rode West Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Could be anyone and all that, but don't you think he'd make a good Crannogman? Well he is doing filming in both Belfast and Spain so interesting to see who this guy turns out to be that he needs to film in both locations. I wish HBO would just send out their casting video already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would mean they are going to play the Tower of Joy piece pretty much how it happened in the books. They can't play it how it happened in the books seeing as Ned's dead and we got the tower of joy through his dream. It would have to be a true depiction either through a weirwood vision by Bran or Howland's memories. That would be cool though because then hopefully we can finally find out what George means when he says that Ned's dream shouldn't be taken literally (apart from the obvious things).

What I meant was: if they put Howland Reed in the Tower of Joy scene, it is faithful to the books for showing him. If Bran is seeing through the weirwood, there is probably no need for HR to be there, Ned could be last man standing alone against Arthur Dayne and it would be fine plotwise. Unless HR is going to play some major role in the next books, his part is not essential to reveal R+L=J through Bran's vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Storm Reborn Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Clearly the boys are, child Robert, Ned and Brandon... Probably a flashback in kid Ned´s time in Winterfell and the Vale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofless Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Could be anyone and all that, but don't you think he'd make a good Crannogman? How small is he?

Is Meera still around? Could she not be relating the story to Bran? ETA But my money is on Bran via weirwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippocras Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Actually I'd say that there's fairly good evidence that Brandon visited Ned in the Vale Visited, sure, but why would the visit be so important that this would be the main flashback of season 6? Makes no sense. Just because two boys are Northern does not automatically mean they are both Starks. A better and more likely flashback would be a scene at Winterfell (where Robert had no reason to be) involving a Stark and some other Northerner, that would be used to set up the Northern dynamics of the season. this includes fighting off the Boltons, power alignments behind Rickon and/or Sansa and/or Jon.

Unless he's just random bandit #47 He almost looks like the twin of the guy who played Anguy the Archer.

Although he seems to fit the age for Dickon, and others noted that they'd think he'd make a good young Howland Reed based on his looks and that he's fairly short, having watched a video of his work he's got a really lowborn sounding accent. Maybe it was just for the roles he was in and he was just acting, but from what I heard he doesn't sound at all like someone who they'd cast to play a noble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
