Adelle Tully Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hmmm I seem to seconding many of these things. So here goes my list: Ben Barnes as Renly. Polly Walker as Melisandre - she's one crazy wench! Alexander Skarsgard for Rhaegar Adrian Pasdar for LF (although I don't know his height and that could make thing difficult) William Dafoe as the Mad King - he's already proven he can act insane....spiderman Jimmy Jean Louise - Xho. I think he can pull it off but with the movies and tv series' he's been in, he may be pricey. Christian Coulson for Theon and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Varys The ones I'd like to add would be Cillian Murphy for Loras Tyrell [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4166621696/nm0614165"]Cillian[/url]. For the longest time I thought he was the hottest thing that ever walked the Earth) and David Bowie was suggested earlier by someone for Varys, but I had him cast as the face changer that makes a deal with Arya (can't remember his name offhand and I'm at work with no reference materials).

samcurtis Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Bruce Campbell as Robert Baratheon. Just give him a beard. I know, weird choice, but I actually think he's perfect. He looks the part these days, and he's already got a Robert-like demeanor. And I'd like to see him play a more serious role. Of course, if they're going for British accents, I don't know whether he can get rid his American one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogbebaba Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 [quote name='Valyrian-Steel' post='1591905' date='Nov 17 2008, 16.17'][url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000374/"]Brad Dourif [/url] for Varys. No, not based on his LOTR performance, he was ill used in that movie. He is an amazing actor, oscar winning in fact, and has lots of really good roles, good TV guest starring roles, the last one as I recall was in Law and Order. He has a kind of intensity though, and his eyes seem as if deep pools hiding secrets.[/quote] I second Brad Dourif very good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maester Joergensen Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I like [url="http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=poul+johansson&x=0&y=0"]Poul Johansson[/url] as Robert. He has the look that can allow him to play both young and old Robert if you apply fatsuit/ antler armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate's Bitch Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 For Robert, what about [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0448053/"]Gordon Kennedy[/url] from the newest BBC version of Robin Hood? When he's done up as Little John, he certainly [url="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/clickerman/kennedy_picture_gallery_john.jpg"]looks the part[/url]. Someone mentioned [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000620/"]Mickey Rourke[/url] for the Hound. I thought of him too because his role in Sin City was so similar. His Marv was the best part of Sin City so we know he'd be able to do Sandor justice. [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000514/"]Michael Madsen[/url] would also make a good Hound. Either that or Ser Jorah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of the North Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 [url="http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/christopher-plummer/photos/144811"]Christpher Plummer[/url] for Ser Barristan Selmy. [url="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/theatre/story/2008/11/01/caesarcleopatra-cinema-stratford.html"]Here's[/url] another picture of what he's up to lately. Sure, he's 79 but he's tall, in reasonably good shape and can still probably move well enough to pull it off, imho. Besides, I think he would have that "presence" about him that a Selmy would have. Hell, it may be too small of a role for him (but we haven't seen all of what Martin has in store for Barristan yet...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
