NW Deserter Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 http://www.accesshollywood.com/news/theon-greyjoy-gets-a-sister-and-daenerys-gets-an-adviser-in-game-of-thrones-season-2_article_51531PictureI've been slightly worried about the casting of xaro, pyat pree, and quaithe for a whole...and really most of the denizens of slavers bay/qarth/etc are just so out there that it'll be difficult to cast them. Looks good to me so far, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasha Pook Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Since some are worried about casting of Xaro, because he does not resemble the pale as Milk Quartheen, I wonder if the will use white makeup on him, it would really make the Quarteen exotic and otherworldy...

Brienne the Beauty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I wonder if the will use white makeup on him, it would really make the Quarteen exotic and otherworldy...That'd just make him look like an old-fashioned zombie. I suspect this is just a case of wanting the Qartheen to look readily distinguishable from other cities peoples, so that the east does not just blend into a generic exotic mass.

Midnight Diamondstar Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would not suggest any white paint on our handsome ebony Xaro. It smacks of the white face stereotype in Tarzan movies. Maybe another color would be better. BTW, please, please, please, do not infer that I was implying that you were being racist. You simply giving ideas. It is just that others may take these ideavs as racist. As for me, I just wanted to protect you from unwarranted attacks on you for making innocent remarks. Also, if I misread your post, again, I apologize. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasha Pook Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Those ideas are in no way meant to be racist, but nowadays you have to be careful how to pronounce yourself without offending anyone. I didn't mean White paint, I meant using make up to make the skin tone seem pale, This is would create a very otherworldy look IMO and stay true to the novels.

Midnight Diamondstar Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I understood what you were communicating in your post. My sister-in-law is in charge of of the ID Channel of the Discovery Family. I gave her a quick description of our posts. She e-mailed me back and told me that the casting director gets orders from executive producers. There is a lot of pressure to get the casting "just right". She says it's all about money. Btw,I think we were thinking the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_winterborn Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just watched an interview with him. He feels like a more badass guy there. At the moment I can't imagine him to be that gay and kind of posh guy Xaro is in my head. (I won't talk about his skin colour because I think I'm able do adjust to that fact).

Scaeva Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 My guess is that the actor won't be wearing make up to make him look pale, or some other color. It is more likely that the filmmakers have decided to make the people of Qarth black rather than milky white.Not a big deal to me, as I think the pale white appearance wouldn't translate well to film.

Ran Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The Qartheen are actually multi-ethnic on the show, just like the Dothraki were last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hear Us Roar Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Tv show will not match up to the books ie skin colours and body types on characters, even some names are changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
