Annara Snow Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Have you guys watched Black Sails? Zack McGowan could totally pull off book Daario, blue forked beard and all. He didn't have a blue beard as Charles Vane on Black Sails, but he had some weird pirate fashion choices, and yet he managed to be sleazy and eccentric as well sexy and charismatic at the same time.

An honest response to this: I found that round difficult to choose and I could see most of the nominations working in some way so it came down to very little things when voting. I love Black Sails and he is great in that role. He is very intense though and I wasn't personally sure he could pull off the eccentricity of book-Daario. I kinda felt he would be a more intense and physical version of Ed Skrein's Daario. I could be wrong but that was my reasoning. I plumped for Hardy in 3rd just because I felt he could pull off more of book-Daario's personality. 4 hours ago, Annara Snow said: These scores aren't right.

Yeah @honeyed chicken might be worth rechecking the scores as Vincent Cassel had a second 2nd place vote not included. All I'll add on the previous round is this: I realise Vincent Cassel is in his 50s now but as soon as I thought of him I couldn't imagine anyone else pulling off every facet of Daario's character anywhere near so well as he could. He can commit wholly to anything and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 About the two actors - they do not need to be a matched set or anything. My intention was that you consider each role separately. The fact that the descriptions of Loras & Margaery in the book have them looking similar may lead you to actors who look as though they could be related - or not. If so, that would be a happy coincidence. If not, no worries. Points wise, you'll have two chances to score this round instead of the usual one.

So, are the actors going to be nominated together or separately? BTW, my idea in casting Marg is always book!Marg, who looks super innocent (whether or not she is in fact a great political schemer, or just a girl used by her family). There's also the classic disclaimer that the ages are never gonna be right (at least not for the book characters, who are teenagers), so... I guess we just embrace Dawson Casting (as the show did)?

Yes. Separate. When I list the nominees, there'll be the Maragery group of names and down below (or above) there will be the Loras group. It'll be as if two completely different rounds were being done at the same time - which, essentially, they are. Interesting point about casting Marge, but wasn't Sophie Turner about the right age for Sansa and Maisie Williams for Arya? The rub with Marge is that D&D wanted to have her nude and do sex scenes (not in the book) and they could not legally do that with someone under 18, I don't think. If you wanted to go "by the book" you could cast someone of the right age and it would work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to go "by the book" you could cast someone of the right age and it would work great. Well, casting age appropriately would be great, but I don't know if it's possible, without fancasting unknowns. I don't know almost any currently famous teen actors - and even most of the actors playing teenagers on TV and in movies are adults. GoT did the same - not just with Marg and Loras but also Dany, Jon, Robb and Joffrey. The only reason they had to cast child actors as Sansa, Arya and Bran, and initially as Myrcella and Tommen, was because their characters start off as prepubescent children or children just entering puberty.

Raisin' Bran Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 1. Judi Dench 2. Maggie Smith 3. Joanna Lumley Too many good choices. Standings through round four 1. Jez Bell - 41 points ... 5. Raisin Bran - 16 points And my steady decline continues. I feel like l am trying here, just each subsequent round I am one rung lower in the standings.
