JayOrphan Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564920/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564920/[/url] Rory McCaan IS Robert Baratheon ! 6'6 dark hair and for anyone who's seen ''alexander'' you know he has the charactersistic big shaggy beard ...he's scottish so thats not to far from where they plan to shoot ! ...just think about it ...the only thing i can think of beeing wrong is that his eyes are brown instead of blue ! he's been in movies where he's needed to ride horses wear armor and fight with swords ! he's even the same age robert would be in the first book ... LETS CHAMPION THIS GUY ! Who the hell else could be robert ? people seem to care entirely to much about a persons face and previous roles and forget all the things like height and build and presence ...and this guy just happens to be affordable and meet EVERY SINGLE CRITERIA ! Love Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venardhi Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Rory McCann sounds like a potential contender for sure, I don't recall him from any of those movies in particular, but he does have the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOrphan Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0655585/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0655585/[/url] Jared Padalecki (if available) would be a great Renly to Rory McCaan's Robert ...the age difference would be about appropriate , and so would the height difference (Padalecki is 6'4 ,McCaan 6'6) dye his hair black and id say you have your handsome charming Renly ...you could have him stand next to his big bro and not need any camera . trickery .Believe it or not having worked as a CAMERA MAN i can honnestly say that this would help greatly , not having to organise a whole scene or camera angle to make someone look a certain way .thats what im really hopping for . there's millions of people in the world some of them have got to match these descriptions and be able to act .

armedsilverback Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001254/"]James Gandolfini[/url] as Robert. Might be a bit too expensive, but obviously has a relationship with HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magnar Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Renly is only 6'. It says so when they are describing him next to Brienne in Clash of Kings. Sorry. James Gandolfini is too smarmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WightMeWorry Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Here's a random pick for Rhaegar, culled from daytime television: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1132544/"]Agim Kaba[/url]. Probably popped in my head since his imdb [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1115593984/nm1132544"]headshot[/url] is basically the same pose as this sketch by [url="http://pojypojy.deviantart.com/art/Rhaegar-Targaryen-43272887"]Pojypojy on deviantart[/url]. He strikes me as a little too intense for Renly, and too old for Loras. His looks are a good blend of classical and exotic, and I see the melancholy there. Here's a [url="http://agimkaba.com/pics.htm"]fansite[/url] with more pics. And retired or no, Sir [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000125/"]Sean Connery[/url] for Barristan Selmy.

johnnysd Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Really surprised that no one has suggested Sienna Guillory for Cersei. I think she is perfect for the role. Has the right look, gorgeous but can easily handle and be convincing with the twisted aspects of her personality. She is British, and while she is somewhat recognzable, she is not a huge star and would probably be very affordable long term in the role.

Mike the Magnar Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Scott Glenn is a cheaper and better choice in terms of looks I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of Sean Connery playing Barristan Selmy. It's probably not going to happen, but I second it. While we're thinking crazed thoughts, I'll put [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000125/"]Sean Connery[/url] in as The Kindly Man. Can imagine that voice exclaiming that Arya ate his worm and that no one has ever eaten his worm before in that low pur of his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undergroundnoob Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nathan Fillion, of the former TV series Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, would be perfect and absolutely appropriate to play Littlefinger.

LF is supposed to be formidable because of his intelligence and sly ways - not because he looks All-American.

Maggi Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 How about Angelina Jolie and her brother..for Cersei and Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magnar Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 How about we light fire to George R.R. Martin's flash drive then give every would be "A Game of Thrones," television watcher a gun and single bullet and say, "guess what? your going to want to use this soon, because Angelie Jolie and her Brother are two of the main characters in this once fantastic and completely original series. This (gun and bullet) is your quicker less painful bet to die." Angelie Jolie and her Brother? Seriously... That is A Song of Ice and Fire's version of nuclear holocaust. Sorry, but Jolie sucks and her brother...I am sure he sucks worse, but I haven't a clue who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magnar Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Keep in mind the banging. Wait... Isn't there some speculation on the Jolie twins over the same difficulties that afflict the Lannisters? Maybe it won't be a problem Hahhahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hodor of Winterfell Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Of all the casting ideas I've ever had, the one that I think is really perfect is: Abraham Benrubi as Robert.

Maggi Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well Robert needs to be a well played role..like ned..since they both die...and you feel the loss... Best I could come up with for Ned was Tom Selleck..link in appropriate thread. Best I could come up with for Robert was this guy...6'4 240pnds Put a beard on him and a Red wine nose. Acting..who knows. ttp://www.sandiegoplaybill.com/actors/thomas_fitzpatrick.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
