williamjm Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Good call.He'll make a great littlefinger.Coincidentally, I was watching Identity earlier today (which Gillen stars in) which reminded me of the previous suggestions that he would be a good Littlefinger. His performances in Identity and The Wire do show that he can mix charm and deviousness very well, Littlefinger is a more villainous character but I'm sure he'll do well.

red snow Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 It's still good to see that fan suggestions are worming there way through be it by the casting agents or the agents of the actors mentioned.He wasn't my favourite choice but he was definitely in the "I'll be happy if they cast him". He has the right look and has shown he can pull off charming/devious. I wonder if he knows just how integral to the show his character is and that he's with the show for the long haul. I'm sure he or his agent will have at least checked to see how many books he's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverjaime Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well, in any case, we're told that it was because he was a small boy and he came from the smallest of the Fingers. ;)Note that Lysa definitely had NO complaints concerning Littlefinger's ... finger.Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought that when they had the fight as boys, his finger got cut off at the top, and thereafter he was known laughingly as Littlefinger. It's been a while since I read the first book, so maybe I got it wrong???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah, that's not from the novels. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverjaime Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Right - god knows where I picked that up then! Him having a small....'finger' is a much better explanation anyway! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smegma Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've been watching The Wire and have only just now reached season 3, and with it, Aidan Gillen's role. Good lord he's hot. I am eagerly awaiting the show even more ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
