TheBerk Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have two friends who are actors. I figure the best way to get them to read the books is if I claim a certain character would be a good fit for them. So, your input on these two would be appreciated. Thank you.

Smoldering Hound Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Dave Moscow...Littlefinger. Barry Papick...Janos Slynt, or Ser Boros Blount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Have to think about Dave. Barry could be Varys, if he can camp it up. Oooooooh! this is my Number of the Beast post: 666 Be ware the horned beast will soon be upon you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn Dragon Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 You are kidding right? David Moscow. AKA David from [i][/i]Newsies?[i][/i] I say he can have any part he wants, considering the size of the crush I had on him all through High School. Seriously he calls to mind Hyle Hunt... but the part is non existent until like book 4... and we [i]need[/i] him to read the book. How about Jory Cassel? He's all over the first book. (although that's all he gets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBerk Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 I like Varys for Barry, but I always pictured Jorry Cassel as more...hardened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this seems like a reasonable suggestion for him. I am unfamiliar with his work so I have no idea if he can pull off Littlefinger, but his look, at least, is reasonably Petyr-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoldering Hound Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm basing my Littlefinger recommendation for Dave Moscow on what I saw in his role in Honey. Well, that plus his look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I base my opinion completely on looks as I haven´t seen them in anything. Barry Papick is actually pretty close to how I see Varys. He needs a harder edge I think. When we see him talking to Tyrion I think is much closer to his real personality, than the powdered role he plays in council. I am a little more conflicted about Moscow. Perhaps trick him into thinking he is badass enough for the Hound. At least until he is lured into the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I will champion my old friend [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1182011/"]Tim V. Murphy[/url]. Many years ago I shared an apartment with this guy for the first four or five months I lived out in Los Angeles and recently found him again on Facebook. Weird thing is, I found him there through someone I knew from college who worked on [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800308/"]"Appaloosa"[/url] with him (though they apparently knew each other before that, even). Had I realized they were both in the movie I would have seen it when it came out, now I need to wait until video, damn it. Sometimes Tim is almost a dead ringer for Viggo Mortensen (but with an Irish accent - Viggo is also in "Appaloosa"). He's also a damn fine actor and I happened to run across a notice the other day that he starred in the recent revival of three lost Tennessee Williams plays - he got to star in the first production of one that hadn't been seen since it was first written back in the 1940's and he and everyone involved got very good reviews. He'd make a damn fine Roose Bolton. I could really imagine him has Benjen or Qorin Half-Hand, or some other member of the Watch. [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm823038208/nm1182011"]He's got a very rugged, craggy faced look[/url] (again, think Viggo). Come to think of it, I really should mention my other friend from the movie "Appaloosa," [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1617857/"]Cerris Morgan-Moyer[/url]. She has [url="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm467440128/nm1617857"]a very interesting look[/url]. I could actually see her as Lysa, though she's way too skinny for the role.

Shorter than I would think but they can give her heels and maybe a big ol' fat suit (she looks [url="http://www.cerrismorganmoyer.com/"]pretty petite[/url]).

Fact is, as a more minor character you could go either way with that. Cerris is definitely very tiny, probably too tiny for Lyssa. I'm trying to think of another role for her.

jwf1237 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Your friend Barry I can see as either Varys or Biter, David as Littlefinger if theyre willing to put him in such an important role. If not then I can somehow see him as a Greyjoy. Maybe Damphair or Victarion if he wants to get ripped (I always pictured Victarion as a beast). Tim Murphy I can see him as Tywin only because he looks kind of like Ed Harris, who I always thought would be a perfect Tywin. If not him then maybe the Halfhand or Brynden Tully.

These things maybe can be shot around, but if so I think Lysa would work just as well, seems to me she has a smallish mouth as Lysa is said to have.
