Casting the Greyjoy Brothers


Black Jack Bulwer

I think that is quite a good suggestion. He's certainly got the physical presence for the role! If I can suggest another Scot, I think Peter Mullan would have the charisma and intensity to make a really good Euron.

I never even thought of David O'Hara, but he would be awesome. I find it unlikely that this would happen, though. Despite my dislike of the Earl of Surrey as a character (I actually quite like his real world poetry), O'Hara somehow made me sympathetic towards him. Plus his performance in Braveheart is unforgettable. Great acting and a rugged handsomeness. That is a great one.

Victarion Greyjoy: Clive Standen, David O'Hara or Ray Stevenson (they are both perfect! Ray is done with Thor and finished with Dexter and Clive may be done with Vikings, not sure of filming schedule)... if they do him though they better do him well! No liberies with the costume, I want to see plate, I want to see an awesome axe and I want to see a kraken healm and 'cloth of gold' cloak!!!

Euron: Viggo Mortensen or James Purefoy

Damphair: Same extra who anointed Theon in the sea or a skinny guy with long hair dark hair and an epic beard

I would like to see Ron Pearlman as Victarion.

NoNoNoNoNoNOnoNoNOnoNONONO!!!!!! Have you see Season of the Witch or Conan! His acting has really gone down the crapper in what I have seen of him in recent years... also he looks too amusing while Vic is meant to be surly and mistrusting of laughs. Sorry for the spam of no but I just think this would be about the biggest casting blunder they could make... after maybe Oona Chaplin (May I just state here, Oona should be on the show!!!! Just not as Jey...Talissa Who-the-hell-cares-about-your-badly-written-fake-name. Would have loved to see her as a sand snake or as Taena Merryweather (nee. of Myr) )

Edit: I enjoyed him in the first Hellboy :)

Have you seen the Vikings S02 trailer? I think Clive would be an awesome Vic!

Viggo as Euron? At the beginning I liked this but Viggo lacks the creepy look ^^

I also thought of Lee Pace as Euron but I think he lacks the evil look too :/

If Ray Stevenson won't be Victarion, then I'll be seriously disappointed.

My mental picture of Euron is Richard Armitage or Gerard Butler. But both actors are too high-profile for a TV production.

I wouldn't say Richard Armitage is too high profile. Gerard Butler, yes, but not Richard.

Given that he's pretty much exclusively a TV actor + Hobbit; then I'm right with you, not unlikely to do TV; though he may want launch into movies after the Hobbit; equally, he may not; none of the LOTR cast really made film careers for themselves on the back of LOTR (barring Bloom, unfortunately)

Interesting, I wonder if the guy in the video saw this speculation and ran.

I also heard Gatiss only filmed for a brief period of time which puts Bloodraven in play I guess.

I just don't see how the Greyjoy Brothers can be combined, its not like the Tyrell brothers (and even that was an iffy decision).

Maybe just Victarion and Aeron... but still.. I don't like the thought and he doesn't look like any Greyjoy to me too. Also if he's truly cast as Victarion, I think he's too "small" for my opinion (he's 6'1). I always pictured Victarion being REALLY tall.

After season 3 ended Asha was heading for the Dreadfort and Balon was still alive.

I was expecting Balon to die in the beginning of season 4. Asha would receive the news and return to the Iron Islands for the Kingsmoot.

Now it looks like neither Euron nor Victarion will be cast in the upcoming season which leads me to believe they might drag out the Asha storyline. Hopefully I´m wrong. I don´t like a suggested merger of Victarion and Aeron just as I don´t see how Gatiss could be anything like Victarion. Not the dumb brute kind of guy.

Guess we´ll have to wait and see how this plays out.
