Ollie Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 [quote name='Durendale' post='1637658' date='Jan 4 2009, 16.41']If not mentioned before: [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3347224064/nm0130536"]Jamie Callis[/url] for Littlefinger[/quote] A little sexy perhaps, but certainly capable of being a bit unscrupulous. Besides brains are hot and Littlefinger may be many things but he's no dummy. -Olivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riposte Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Eddie Murphy should play the whole Stark Family and maybe Tyrion too.

Myrddin Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I was watching A Name of the Rose and I saw Varys. :) [url="http://www.thelin.net/laurent/cinema/films/tt0091605/24700.jpg"]http://www.thelin.net/laurent/cinema/films...91605/24700.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0352138/"]Michael Habeck [/url]played Berengar. I don't know if he's the guy to play the Spider now, but his character in NotR, aside from the physical characteristics, has the perfect oiliness to him. Berengar is a good reference model for the producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eyebrows are so menacing when he smiles, he's british; compared to other suggestions i think his comedic/menacing ratio is just right, i think. n_n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Mighty Jeffrey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My Top 3 for King Robert Baratheon are: 1. Aaron Douglas - This guy is one of my favorite actors in Battlestar Galactica. When he gained some weight and a beard, he was the spitting image of Robert Baratheon. I'm surprised nobody's suggested him yet. [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0234928/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0234928/[/url] 2. Abraham Benrubi - He was awesome in Dark Angel and Parker Lewis Can't Lose. He definitely has the height. [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0072344/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0072344/[/url] 3. Bob Stephenson - I really enjoyed his performance in Jericho and thought he held his own. He would bring the jovial moods of the King for sure. My only concern is he may be a little old for the part.

Froz Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 John Simm would be great as Littlefinger [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0799591/"]On IMDB[/url] It's his role in State of play that made me think of him, he's great at playing manipulators looking like saints.

Jaqen the FatManderly Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Varys is a key figure. I would rather he not be too fat or gay. He puts on an effeminate persona in public, but the actor must also play the private Varys, who has little nonsense about him. I would suggest [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000410/"]Stephen Fry[/url], though he may be a little tall for the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murdertron3000 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 For the part of Hodor, I would humbly like to suggest former Washington Bullets center Gheorge Muresan: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0613837/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0613837/[/url] You may remember him acting circles around Billy Crystal in [u]My Giant[/u].

Mike the Magnar Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Illyn Payne. This guy has the most frightening stare I have ever seen, and if you have ever seen Always Sunny in Philladelphia then you knew he is one scary dude. Gregory Scott Cummins [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192003/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192003/[/url] if not Illyn, he needs to be somewhere in the series.

Rexor Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm not sure if anyone suggested this or not...

Rexor Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 watching that Will Ferrel Bush special on HBO tonight (which, wasn't really funny, but that's not the point...) opened my eyes to something right in front of us this entire time...

dragomort Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I think it's likely more about the reasons we'd pick certain people rather than the people themselves, so I'll at least give a super-brief bit of an overview of the why and hope that these are relatively new :o [b]Varys[/b]- Needs someone fun, yet secretive. Important to what happens, but inconsequential to the thoughts of those in power. Jeffrey Combs [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001062/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001062/[/url] the Emerson suggestion was excellent as well though [b]Pycelle[/b]- Ian McKellan would be my first thought (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005212/), but much too pricey I'd have to guess. Luckily there is no shortage of other options of whom I'd put Ned Beatty towards the top if he's available [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000885/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000885/[/url] The Bill Nighy suggestion was spot on too though, guess it depends on what you want to get across, as I can think of a couple others that'd work as well and each would emphasize a different character trait that he shows throughout the series... [b] Stannis[/b]- Someone with gravitas more than the other 2 brothers as he'll be carrying some scenes alone in the upcoming books as well as in a group. Of course, he also must give off an appropriate hard-ass vibe as well. Bill Campbell [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001004/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001004/[/url] [b]Ser Barristan Selmy[/b]- Another gravitas/hard-ass role that I'd give the first pick nod to Michael Hogan [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0389581/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0389581/[/url] Although his stock has likely gone flying into the stratosphere lately, that's the type of actor to look for at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
