OliveJonSnow Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 A friend mentioned Jessie Williams to me and now that's all I can see.http://www.imdb.com/...68128/nm2222264http://www.imdb.com/...45920/nm2222264And hey, he has beautiful blue eyes. :)I don't care if some think he's too attractive (although I imagined Daario as somewhat attractive), especially considering what Jorah's supposed to look like in the books and what he actually looks like in the series.You've convinced me. Where do I sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7V3N Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It would be hard for me to see anything in him but Ashur.Then again, that just goes to show you how he owned that role.Ashur has always been my favorite, along with Quintus, because the acting was just superb. I think Tarabay would kick ass as Daario. That grin he always did with Ashur: perfect Daario golden-tooth grin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geert Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I second the Taraby idea. A while ago I said the same thing in this thread after watching Spartacus; it could be either him or maybe the guy playing Gannicus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago I said the same thing in this thread after watching Spartacus; it could be either him or maybe the guy playing Gannicus.I could see the guy who played Gannicus to appear in some episodes for Rhaegar flashbacks. But he's still in Spartacus so his availability is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonTargaryenW/Viserion4WIN Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 What if HBO was to dip into the cast of another series, True Blood? (not really a fan but I could see how these actors could lend their chops to ASOIAF universe)Stephen Moyer (he's f/ UK)http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0610459/Alexander Skarsgard (Swedish) http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0002907/And someone already mentionedJoe Manganiello. (American)http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0542133/Not sure if there is precedent for cross casting actors from different shows but I don't see why not. I imagine True Blood will run it's course soon though I can attest for the fanatism associated with vampires. Also not sure either if sellswords and the like in Essos will retain a British/Scottish/Irish accents. Don't see why they would. Really hoping for another impressive language portrayal like that of Dothraki with Ghiscari!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7V3N Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 has some good clips of Nick Tarabay as Ashur on Spartacus. I think he'd be perfect for Daario (not looks, but he could do the character perfectly). Check out the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Freeman Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hmm..Pretty good suggestions but I suppose I always pictured Daario as a little more rough around the edges than handsome. I thought his physical prowess, scars, and eyes were the reasons Dany was so attracted to him, not really his handsome looks. I could just be remembering wrong though, I am only on GoT in re-reading.Just throwing a few out there that I think might be worth a look:Joe Manganiello and Scott Speedmanhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0542133/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005454/I'm not sure why but I could really see Joe playing this role, at least in looks.Dario to me looks like the bad guy off of Hidalgo, the one that steals the horse book.

Baelor Blackfyre Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I normally don't "hate" any character in ASoIaF. But man, Daario has to be, absolutely has to be the biggest douchebag in the books.So casting him as a douche from Jersey Shore makes perfect sense. But I love Tarabay and I love Ashur. And while I think he would knock any role out of the park, I would never wish for him to play Daario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticWeirwood Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I’d like to see Daario as a flamboyant Asian, like George Takei’s young Mr Sulu. Remember him without a shirt swashbuckling with a sword? That’d be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ! I rather like Daario. He is what he is. To compare him with the Mountain and other evil assholes is worse than merely not right. It’s actualy wrong.

It’s actualy wrong.Oh, certainly he's not evil, or anything of that sort. He is, however, a douchebag of enormous caliber. Daario would certainly be among the largest contributors to the douchebag jar, if GRRM cared to implement such a device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just some random character either, but the freaking Mother of Dragons. Wtf? I'm not a Dany hater at all, I really love her character, but she is messing up big time by getting with Daario.

I could see them cutting Daario, the way things are going with her story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StannisandDaeny Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I would suggest Ed Quinn. He has 'the look'. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2501614848/nm0703831 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
