Darryk Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Wow, top notch casting. He's a frigging amazing actor, him and Game of Thrones were made for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hos the Hostage Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It is funny that any actor cast within ages 10-75 will be guessed to be playing Howland Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrion the Perfect Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Anything involving the genius of Ian McShane has my whole hearted support. Also, thanks for the link. I hadn't heard that HBO is planning at least 8 seasons for Game of Thrones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'd say a flashback character. I really like the Mad King idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hightower or Marwyn make the most sense to me. Doesn't really matter which character he is, dude's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedViperHD Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I wish Clancy Brown would play Randyll Tarly! In a scenario is which Randyll Tarly vs Robert Strong would happen, it would mean we'd get to see the Kurgan vs the Mountain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTowerOfJoy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 *mumbles about the show not deserving such good actors.* Anyhoo, I think Randyll Tarly. He's just right for the part and it fits the small role but key part description. We're talking about the most Emmy nominated show on TV... some of you folks need some perspective.

The Ice Wolf of Loki Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Rickard Stark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgul-Blade Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 His age and size of the role would suggest a flashback. He's way too old to be Howland Reed - Howland should be around Ned's age. He'd be a fantastic Euron, but as some folks have previously mentioned, his part is small where the Euron role is probably bigger. I'd guess Gerold Hightower, or perhaps a face that Arya wears, or a victim of Arya-I-Mean-No-One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalF Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The reports are saying that it'll be an important character but one that doesn't have a lot of screen time in season 6. I thought Euron Greyjoy at first but I don't think his role would be a small one. Some theories are saying it's modern day Howland Reed but it could just as easily be a brand new character or one we meet in the next book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'd imagine him as euron. But I'm actually disappointed he is in it. I've seen him in so many things lately and he's been lazy and phoning it in for all of them. Hope he ups his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modesty Lannister Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Marwyn would be interesting, but I do not think D&D have imagination for that. They saw Pirates of the Caribbean IV and decided he was wonderfully sinister. Hence, he can only be cast as Euron Greyjoy. As for a small amount of screentime, it's easy to deduce what's going on - McShane will make his big first appearance at King's Moot, which is basically one scene. Then we will see him ordering a raid of the Shield Islands and appearing at the subsequent feast when he will order Victarion to sail to Daenerys. The age is right as far as HBO show goes. Euron is younger than Balon who is portrayed as an old man. I am glad that this will put a stop on the theories about Euron being Daario. Or will it?

Modesty Lannister Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Gerold Hightower in the Tower of Joy flashback. Neither Euron nor Tarly are small roles (the casting call listings emphasized that both were really good, meaty parts). Those roles also wouldn't justify the secrecy. It looks like a small role but that still has an impact; that makes it seem like almost a cameo sort of thing. It being a ToJ Kingsguard would explain why they're tight-lipped around the role's identity. He's the right age and look for Hightower, They never said it was a small role. They said it was a pivotal role with a small amount of screentime. Hightower is a non-entity as far as HBO show viewers are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protar Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We're talking about the most Emmy nominated show on TV... some of you folks need some perspective. I'm not saying I don't get why big and talented actors are attracted to the show. We get it, it's popular, it's an award opportunity. But I stand by my mumblings.
