I Belong in ASOIAF and I can act!... As I posted in the [url="http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?showtopic=32272&pid=1603042&st=40&#entry1603042"]'can we cast us'[/url] thread, I would like the opportunity to audition. If you feel I have the look of a certain part PLEASE speak up to help me get a shot at being seen by the casting crew/David & Dan. I know it may seem unrealistic, fan turned character in the series, but I feel like I am meant to do this (maybe everybody feels that way but I must pursue it!)

Personally, I'm not sure there is any role from the first book you fit perfectly. You might be able to do Lyanna, but her role would be essentially just that one short flash back and I'd assume they'll cast locally for that one considering the brevity of her appearance.

I'd say Asha is the best fit, and personally one of my favorite characters. It would be an enormously entertaining role to play IMO and I'd rather see a perfect fit than an iffy one, even if it means you'd have to wait til a later season. . .

Any chance of a video? Even something as simple as a webcam recording of a monologue might help.

Good luck!

Yes. Yes he would. And he would like it, or else.

I would personally cast you in an older role. Asha may be too young, in my opinion (I'm not going to ask a lady her actual age, but those pictures put you in your late 20's, if that).

Maybe a sand snake. Though actually, your facial structure is closer to what I pictured in the Dornish princess, Arianne Martell.

Do you tan easily?

First impression: Osha

reasoning: You look like you belong in the North. With your physique, you look like you could kick some serious butt if necessary. You look wise and kind. You have an interesting mix of being muscled and masculine (in the yin/yang way)... and yet a softness to your eyes. And you'd be in the first season. ;)

I would love to see you do this scene:
SPOILER: Book 1
The Godswood scene with Bran.
Starting at "You hear them boy?"
...and ending a couple pages at "... it's north he should be taking his swords. [i]North[/i], not south. You hear me boy?" Bran nodded. "I'll tell him."

How about Osha? I don't have a good description of Osha other than tall and lean, but I imagine her as being strong and hard looking, and you look to fit that description from your 2nd photo. There's also this artwork of Osha, done by Amok - "[i]Considered the premier ASoIaF character portrait artist by the author and fans alike[/i]", quoted from the citadel.

You seem to have a similar or similar enough face, as far as I can tell. Although in the artwork she has an ugly expression. And I think it is intended to imply a kind of hardness to her, and older, and perhaps on the not so good looking side.. and you are quite attractive, really in my opinion, but of a more common attractiveness.., so you would still fit her description well enough.

Yeah, that was my first impression too. But others mentioning Asha Greyjoy, it's a reasonable fit too I think.

And if Avery gets Theon it would be like an incestuous grope since you are forum family. :grouphug:
