Stubby Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 With the old EzBoard Casting thread getting a little dated, I thought I might post a few ideas for roles. Matthew Settle would probably make a good Benjen. Julie Benz as Cersei Jared Padalecki (previously cast as Robb by the voters on this board) is more like Loras as he gets older. I have always seen Keith Carradine when reading Qhorin Halfhand. I will post some more later - Jaime is the difficult one, finding a balanced between the "beautiful" elements and the necessary "hardness" to be a convincing knight.

Nym_Amiel Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I always picure John Malkovich as the perfect Lord Tywin. He can really play a figure with an icey stare and personality. Heh, sorry for bringing up an old thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I've always pictured Mean Mister Mustard for the role of Lord Tywin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mummer Knight Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I watched Dragonheart the other night and could easily see Dina Meyer as Ygritte. She might make a good Catelyn and an even better Sansa, but that's not what I was thinking. Also, Dennis Quaid (as Ritter Bowen) seems like he belongs in Westros too, but I haven't given it much more thought than that. Dennis in The Alamo as Sam Houston . . . .I kept seeing Stannis.

Quoth Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I always loved Dina Meyer for Ygrette, too. But I like her too much as an actress to force her to continuously spit out the "You know nothing, Jon Snow" line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lord Commander's Raven Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I second the vote for Bill Nighy as Tywin Lannister. For those who may not be familiar with Bill Nighy, he played Viktor (the reincarnated old vampire lord) in the original Underworld movie. And how about Brian Blessed as King Robert Baratheon.

WightMeWorry Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 (bump... I can't believe this thread hasn't been touched for over a month! you guys are slipping ) Alternate for The Rock in the role of Khal Drogo... Rickson Gracie, the legendary brazillian jiu-jitsu heavyweight. That pic is so good it should be used for reference if they do an animated version of the books. And check out the bio: ...Rickson is a 7th Degree Black Belt Open Class Champion of the Gracie Family, whose technique is considered to be the finest expression of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the world. His innate talent and early mastery of the sport have resulted in an impeccable undefeated record in more than 400 fights, including Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, free-style wrestling, Sambo, open weight free-style competitions, and no holds barred challenge matches. Rickson is a two time Brazilian Champion in free-style wrestling, a Gold Medal Winner of Sambo, and for almost two decades he has been the middle-heavyweight and no weight division World Jiu-Jitsu Champion. Most recently, he conquered Japan's elite fighting in a tournament, the Japan Open Vale Tudo, winning both in 1994 and 1995. At this time, Rickson was acknowledged by the Japanese for possessing the Samurai Spirit. Hell, the guy is Khal Drogo. another long shot casting candidate, this time for Cersei: Romola Garai, porcelain-skinned beauty from various Masterpiece Theatre style period costume dramas. Even her name is sexy. To me she looks like a gene-splicing of Cate Blanchette and Katie Sackhoff. Just ridiculously good looking, and (unusual for this thread) a little young for the part. The linked pic could be Cersei on her wedding night, pre "Lyanna" Few more pics for your enjoyment: Ah, research is such a trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Heh, I was just having a discussion about this with some of my friends... (Insert standard disclaimer about how you'd never be able to squeeze this many "names" onto one project, and it's enough of a stretch of belief that this project would ever come together anyway, and this is just for the purposes of our own amusement, etc) Our consensus: Clive Owen as Ned Stark Diane Lane as Catelyn Stark Connie Nielsen as Cersei Lannister Geoffrey Rush as Tywin Lannister Gary Oldman as Euron Greyjoy Russell Crowe as Victarion Greyjoy John Malkovitch as Balon Greyjoy Edward Norton as Mance Rayder Karl Urban (Eomer from LOTR) as Bronn Aida Turturro (Tony's horribly annoying sister from the Sopranos) as Lysa Arryn Brian Cox as Varys Christopher Walken as Roose Bolton We had some trouble casting the children, as it's difficult to find child actors who aren't annoying.

Sgt Detritus Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Whenever Beric's sidekick Thoros appears I see him as played by David Odgen Stiers from Mash In common with a lot of people I think Patrick Stewart = Stannis Steve Buscemi HAS to be Littlefinger!!!!

LacyinTX Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I see Kevin Spacey or Ed Norton as Littlefinger and Steve Buscemi as Roose Bolton or Reek/TBOB. Edit: I think maybe I said that already....oh well, it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Jamie Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 First off I am thinking Mostly brit cast would be kinda cool, and with that my first choices would be Alan Rickman for Eddaed Stark (He has a world wearyness about him that works well) Brian Blessed as King Robert (He's just one big lusty dude) Jason Iaasacs as Littlefinger (He was great as Malfoy) Julie Walters as Sansa (yeah another Potter crossover (she was Ginny) But I think it works) Natalie Imbruglia (Cersei) Yeah she'd need a dye job, but she seems perfect. Just a few ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Some of these suggestions are great. I saw Tricia Helfer mentioned for Cersei and I totally agree, anyone who has watched Battlestar Galactica knows her character on that show is basically Cersei lol (and she's very good at it). Physically she fits perfectly as well. omg I never thought of Josh Holloway as Jaime but he's the one! That cocky arroagant smile..ugh he's perfect. I don't know if it was mentioned but I thought of Jason Lewis as another possibility for Jaime. He's probably best known for his role as Jarrod Smith on Sex and the City.

I've only seen the two-part opening mini-series First off I am thinking Mostly brit cast would be kinda cool, and with that my first choices would be Brian Blessed as King Robert (He's just one big lusty dude) He's already played a very similar part. He was Richard IV in The Black Adder back in 1983 Natalie Imbruglia (Cersei) Yeah she'd need a dye job, but she seems perfect. Just a few ideas... She's actually Australian (sorry to nitpick) I see Kevin Spacey or Ed Norton as Littlefinger and Steve Buscemi as Roose Bolton or Reek/TBOB. If we can't have Steve Buscemi as Littlefinger how about Christopher Walken as Roose Bolton and Buscemi as Ramsay Snow/Bolton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Detritus Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 And please, Bruce Campbell has to be in the movie. Why you ask? Because he makes any movie worth watching while he's on screen. More Bruce! How about having him play Mance Rayder?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghlade Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I just want to add my voice to those suggesting Peter Dinklage for Tyrion. Great, great actor. Most recently he's taken up the role of Richard III on stage in NYC. Since Tyrion is Martin's answer to Richard's poor treatment by history, Dinklage moving on to play Tyiron would be very appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
