7V3N Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Okay this guy is big and badass. I've been thinking about who should play him. It's tough to capture his power and badassness. I think Christopher Lee if they can make him look thick enough. He's 6'5" so he certainly has a large presence. I'm not sure what sort of price he'd demand, nor what race the show will choose to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toiltoil Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have allways thought of him as younger, but I do like Christopher Lee for the role,,. It would be pretty awesome, but as you say he needs to gain some weight hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Lee is 90 years old, are you kidding me? also, he's white, people from Norvos aren't white. if you want Areo, the best person to play him would obviously be Peter Mensah.

Urien the Ragged Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 or maybe idris elba. actually, elba would be better because i've seen him with a beard and it looks ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilKing Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 or maybe idris elba. actually, elba would be better because i've seen him with a beard and it looks ok. I think it'd be too small a role for Idris Elba. But keeping on the Wire theme, how about the dude who plays Chris Partlow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrosBeforeSnows Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 also, he's white, people from Norvos aren't white. if you want Areo, the best person to play him would obviously be Peter Mensah. Hotah is definitely not black. Norvos is right next to Pentos, and the Pentoshi are white (think Ilyrio Mopatis). Most all of the official depictions of Hotah (i.e. ASOIAF card games) portray him to either be Arabic in appearance, or white.

But, he'd half to shave his head, and HBO would have to pay him mucho dinero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Jaimie Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Areo Hotah sounds spanish to me, I would think someone Latin would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodGuyA Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Christopher Lee is also imposing in ways that are not natural. When he has the chance to strike a pose in his movies, you can feel the utter fear about him. He's never been actually physically imposing though, just having a great air about him that draws the audience to him. The dude was the absolute perfect Saruman with no one who ever existed even coming close, but the audience doesn't sympathize with him in his imposium because he just looks so cruel in every feature of himself.Areo is a boring character anyways. It wouldn't mean much to me if they cut him all together or revamped him to be totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Areo Mace Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ray Stevenson, I totally agree.He has the older rugged look and physical presents that Areo has in the books.and HBO already has a history with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ray Stevenson would be good as him or Victarion imoJames Purefoy for Mance or EuronRome> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrikLannister Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My dream casting for Ron Pearlman is Areoh Hotah or Randyll Tarly (both roles that might be too small for him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
