George Snow Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Care to elaborate? We haven't seen him try to act as of yet. How could we judge?One, he has pretty big parts in ADwD.Two, it was a play on words, as I imagine Manderly to be HUUUUUUUGE. Probably about 100# bigger than GRRM.Three, I'd like to see Richard Griffiths play a part like Manderly.Four, I want him writing, not acting in anything more than a cameo, and Manderly would not be a cameo.GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protar Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 One, he has pretty big parts in ADwD.Two, it was a play on words, as I imagine Manderly to be HUUUUUUUGE.

He had me at walrus mustache. On the matter of Martin I've coincidentally imagined Tormund Gaintsbane as looking like Martin. And yeah I'd love a cameo per season, maybe even as the same character every time. So long as we don't get another ros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caro99 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 he could be one of mance rayder's wilding chiefs, or one of the harpy guys in Mereen or even Brienne's father, who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Olenna Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 HBO put Charlaine Harris in an episode of True Blood and gave her a line... I'd love to see GRRM in his world!Which episode was that? I had no idea!And yes GRRM should have a cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeromus Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 He should be a woolly mammoth pulling a wildling sled. In the scene he'll be moving really slowly until an exasperated wildling runs up to him and shouts, "Hurry up! We'll never get beyond the Wall at this rate!"At this point the GRRM-mammoth will stop and turn his face towards the camera - which moves in for a close-up. With a little smile playing on his lips he'll say:"It's not the destination that matters. It's the journey." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedmindstarkheart Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 All the GRRM in all the scenes, plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentina Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd enjoy it if he cameo'd once a season, either playing the same character, or as a different character each season, forcing us to find him.Me too ^_^ I think every author should have a cameo in the film adaption of his books ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerNotAppearingInTheSeries Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Let's hope his British accent is any good then.I don't think British accent's that too much of an importance. This is Westeros, after all. Even Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) doesn't have a British accent but we look past that, because he's the perfect Tyrion and a good actor.GRRM playing Manderly will make up for all the atrocities he has done to his characters. Okay, maybe not all, but to Robb and Catelyn at least. Two words: Red Wedding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaned175 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 He is going to direct one episode a year by the looks of it, so i cant see any reason why he shouldn't do a cameo.. it would be good for publicity as a whole... I don't think tho that he should have a credited role or be a "known" character, something tongue in cheek such as a court scribe or perhaps maybe a travelling bard sent in to entertain Tommen or Joffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boojam Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Directing, I thought he was writing the script. Also apparently he had a cameo in season one but it didn't end up in the show.Yeah he did the teleplay for episode 9.Funny no one till now has mentioned his role as an extra in the first season, George talked about it several times , but it was cut.I guess people mean a speaking role, if he spoke they would have to pay him more than an extra, tho I suppose he would have the option a waving the salary. Lord knows what HBO is paying for rights and contributed teleplays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrogant Bastard Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yeah, he's writing, definitely not directing. I imagine they'll give him a non-speaking background role, like a minor lord across the table eating or something. I don't think they want Martin putting on a fake English accent.

The Blood Eyed Crow Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 For some reason when I look at GRRM I see Tormund Giantsbane. He looks like he should be "Har Har Harrrring" all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTarrasque Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It would be great if he was some random soldier dying in a battle scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I could definitely see GRRM as a minor (non-speaking part) slaver in Astapor or Mereen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
