Words of Winter Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 ian McNiece would be good. For whatever reason, I always pictured Manderly with a mustache though. Don't know why? Maybe a northern thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenar Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I had always imagined him as a kind of even fatter 'Uncle Vernon', i.e. Richard Griffiths. A great shame he died, I think his mannerisms would have really worked for the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Brian Blessed or Michael Gambon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Smith Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My vote would definitely be for Brian Cox, IF THEY CAN GET HIM. He'd be great at convincing everyone that he's a despicable Frey sympathiser, before turing out to be a real badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenedstark Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I was thinking of starting the same topic :ph34r: :)If Brian Blessed is not retired, he would be fantastic in this role. It would be a legendary addition to an already legendary cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fëaghin Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 How about Timothy Spall? He'd only have to gain a little weight and I could definitely see him as Manderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Bard Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Has to be Ian McNiece. :bowdown:Did great work on HBO productions like Rome and Conspiracy, so they have his number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Another vote for Ian McNiece... He was also excellent as Baron Harkonnen in the SciFi version of Dune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoreSeeker Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I would've gone Mike McShane.....but he's gotten a LOT thinner in recent years. Good for him....bad for casting Lord Wyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawksmoor Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 ricky gervais! i mean, why not? gareth and finchy are already on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StannisandDaeny Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Richard Ridings, I'd love to see him on the show, not necessarily as Wyman, but it's one of the roles I think he could pull off partially since he did such a good La Hire in Joan Of Arc. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0725956/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adogs Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 ricky gervais! i mean, why not? gareth and finchy are already on the show.I assume you were joking, but I think that's actually quite an interesting idea... Two things though:1. Ricky can't really act. His characters are essentially all caricatures of himself. So Lord Manderley would look and sound like an older, fatter David Brent. Now, whilst it isn't what I'd pictured, it could actually be really interesting... Much more of a tragic clown figure than Manderley was in my head.2. He's not really old enough.Now I'm imagining David Brent offering someone dubious-looking pie!! Go on, eat your pie then... I'll go caption some pictures of David Brent with Manderley lines to read in his voice and see what that does for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunadangelo Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Tim Curry, yeah I could see that.I was also thinking of Jamie Forman. He can do both funny and menacing very convincingly. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0286044/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Castamere Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Brian Blessed would be just perfect for Manderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenlyIsNotRight Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Personally I like the idea of Brendan Gleeson for Manderly. And can we just talk about how awesome Wendel Manderly was in last nights episode? Sure he had no lines, but the stache and the face stuffing...yes!
