The Real Alaric Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Rutger Hauer FTW, dunno if he'd make a great Oberyn though... Oberyn should be a more meditteranean guy I think, Hauer could be some River/Vale/North lord... I agree, I only put him in because I don't remember anyone else old and mean looking challenging Tywin, and I've always wanted to see him and Christopher Walken face off. Maybe Rutger as the Blackfish? Although no on-screen scenes together, I always see the Blackfish as the brains behind Robb's army (not dissing Robb's abilities as a battle leader, but it seemed to me that it started out with Blackfish telling Robb *where* to fight).

Houndelicious Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I agree with whoever mentioned Tricia Helfer. Cersei is supposed to be just sexy-ass hot, not classically beautiful. Cersei would be a pornstar before she would be a runway model (even though Helfer was a model, shes got the sex appeal I dont see in Nicole Kidman). Cate Blanchett would make a great Lysa.

LacyinTX Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I always think of this guy when reading Tyrion. Peter Dinklage I know he isn't horrible looking, but with some makeup and one black contact...if you bleached his hair white...there you go. And the guy can act. I liked his character in Threshold (even though the show was cheesy). I also loved him in Elf. Lacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlame Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 My number one pick for the Hound would be Gerard Butler. The guy has some serious acting chops, but isn't such a household name that people diassociate him from the character. He's talented in warrior roles especially. Jaime's a hard one to cast. He has to be all golden and hot, but still look capable of waving a sword around. For pure arrogant snarkiness, Jude Law would fit, but unless he went into a longterm fitness program, he wouldn't look fit enough to be one of the most feared warriors in the Seven Kingdoms. If they beefed him up, that Josh Holloway fellow might be possible for Jaime. I don't know why, but Brad Pitt just doesn't seem Jaime-ish to me. Maybe it's the jaw that could put you into a coma if he chin-hit you. I heartily agree with the suggestion for Peter Dinklage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireAndBlood Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Just some random musings... Aeron 'Damphair" Greyjoy - Danny Houston Euron 'Crows-Eye' Greyjoy - John Malkovich Varys - Marlon Brando (yes I know he's gone, but it would have been great to see) Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane - Michael Wincott Robert Baratheon - John Rhys-Davies or Brian Blessed Stannis Baratheon - Kevin Spacey Walder Frey - Peter O'Toole Oberyn Martell - Gerard Butler Maester Luwin - Michael Lonsdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaithe Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 If they beefed him up, that Josh Holloway fellow might be possible for Jaime. Heh, that just occured to me as I was posting in the "Sexiest character"-thread! But you beat me to it... Edited to add: Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane - Michael Wincott Oooh...! He was so hot in Strange days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Khan Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 wow id never watch an asoiaf movie with you guys cast. Russell Crowe as ned? Johnny Depp as bronn? Give me a break! Thank you Ser! I agree with many points in this thread. I think we can sit here all day and place actors into characters and do a pretty good job at that. But I think when you combine too much talent into a project like this, the total is never close to the sum of it's parts. I do like the Rock as Drogo, and my pick would be Manfred Hoeberl as the Mountain...the guy is 6'8" and who cares if he can act. manfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare911 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Too many big egos in the pot and it would turn out a nasty stew. The budgetary constraints alone would prohibit bulking up with big names. I do like the Peter Dinklage as Tyrion and Leo DiCaprio as Jamie. Only a couple of big names. . .so there's room for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancalagon Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Well if you ask me there are two conditions to be met only. First of all we need GOOD actors (some of the drivel mentioned in earlier posts are mentioned for looks only and cannot be taken seriously on acting merits) and second I think this series ( I cant see it become actually movies, but more a good tv series like Rome but much much better) needs all relatively unknown actors. We don't need no Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson, or worse, a DiCaprio or Orlanda Bloom. Then again that's my ten cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerySmallMonster Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Just a few thoughts I've had, if I could pick any actor/actress from any time period: Arya Stark - Anna Paquin Ned Stark - Liam Neesan, Gabriel Byrne, or Sean Bean I can sort of see Johnny Depp as Littlefinger, but I'm not sure. Cersei Lannister - Nicole Kidman Tywin Lannister: Patrick Stewart Like I said, just a few random thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has some serious acting chops, but isn't such a household name that people diassociate him from the character. He's talented in warrior roles especially. I don't know what part he'd play, but he would definitely be in MY movie! YUMMMMMM!!!! Take a look at this photo! Good grief he's HOT. I think he looks like a young (as in not fat and drunk) Robert... a little too rugged for Renly, though. Lacy (who is a huge GB fan!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercint Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Johnny Depp could prbly play just about any character in the books well, but the only one who looks like him is Daario. Josh Holloway would make a good Jaime cos Sawyer in'Lost' is a lot like Jaime. On the other hand, no one looks more leonine than the Czech soccer player Pavel Nedved.

Sandsnake Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I think the best cast would be a cast of unknowns. Some actors I imagined on my own, other from Amoks site, and others from celebrities: Jaime: Orlando Bloom Cersei: Nicole Kidman Lady Merrywether: Hayfa Wehbe (Lebanese beauty) Margeary: Keira Knightley Myrcella: Shirley Temple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealasaid Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I agree cast unknowns. Some of the beautiful young men in "Alexander," perhaps. ANd there were some definite possibilites in "troy." Yes, They were awful movies. There were good warriors sorts in the Thirtennth Warrior But Rutger needs a good guy part again. I'm weary of seeing him as a villain. He was so lovely in Lady Hawke. NO Dakota Fanning. [sIde Bar Orlando Bloom and Johhny Depp can do about anything, but not this. But I really liked Kingdom of Heaven. It was beautiful and showed us the true horror of the Crusades. What is Jerusalem worth?] Gerard Butler, o my, yes. And the Children of the Forest agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakiko Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 For the Mountain I would say The Big Show. He is huge. And he doesn't have to act, just wear alot of armor and beat people's heads in. For Tyrion Id have to go with that little guy who say Inconcievable in the Princess Bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa's Sister Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I don't really see Hollywood movies doing justice to the story. If I'd get to choose, an HBO show would be the way to go. As for casting, Evan Rachel Wood for Dany. She has kind of a vulnerable beauty to her and she can actually act. Though, she's probably too old already (She would've been perfect back when she was on Once And Again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgafresh the Bling Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime L Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I always think of this guy when reading Tyrion. Peter Dinklage I'm with you. That guy would be fantastic. Jaime: Orlando Bloom I'm probably going to get bitched out by the LOTR junkies, but I was under the impression that Jaime Lannister was a *male* character.

Arakano Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I agree with those who nominated Liam Neeson as Ned. He would fit the bill perfectly in my opinion. I mean, he played quite a good Northmen in Rob Roy. And yes, Thirteenth Warrior had great warrior actors. Bulliwyf as Victarion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
