Pixi Penrose Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Or maybe Rami Malek for Quentyn...still too good looking, but he has that innocence about him that I associate with Quentyn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 He was amazing as Snafu in The Pacific. But I don't know that I could buy him as being as inexperienced and innocent as Quentyn is supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Areo Mace Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 David Suchet would be another good choice for Doran with the characters being aged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiatargaryen Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Okay here goes...How about for Doran...Placido Domingo?YES THE OPERA SINGER BUT HEAR ME OUTHe has the right look (in my opinion).It would be possible for him to act much frailer.He has done acting in the past so we know it's at least a minor interest to him.How about it?(Also Antonio Banderas WOULD of course be the perfect Oberyn. I can hear his voice now: "You raped her! You murdered her! You killed her children! I will hear you say her name" It would be awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Queen Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Interestingly enough, Salma Hayek -- my image of Arianne Martell (look at her in <em>Ask the Dust</em> and shave some years [no shaving away from that gorgeous figure, OTOH; Hayek actually put on a bit of weight for the role, and all to the good]) -- was brought up by George in discussing a completely different character (I won't say which, but I'd bet no one would guess it).When i look at Salma Hayek, I think of Ashara Dayne..i don't know why. If Ashara would have been alive, she'd look like her (accept for the purple eyes) As for the Martells..to me they look mediterranean or north african.. and not Indian as many people here seem to think...

Alia of the knife Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Martin confirmed in an interview with a Spanish magazine that Dorne was a cross between Spain and Wales, which makes sense since there are fair Dornishmen as in Spain, and Doran, Elia and Oberyns Uncle was Prince Llywelyn, a historical name for the last Prince of an independent Wales from the twelth century.His full name was: Prince Llywelyn ap GruffyddThe Martells probably intermarried alot with alot of different ethnicities since they didn't marry themselves like the Targaryens.Initially, Dorans Mother was going to marry Elia and Oberyn to Jaimie and Cersei, so their own looks will probably reflect that.Arianne also has a Norvossi Mother.

georgiatargaryen Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wow I didn't know that Wales was an influence.I'm Welsh so that's pretty awesome.Spain is definitely an influence.I don't see Salma as Arianne at all :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiatargaryen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Prince Lyewelyn? I thought it was Prince Lewyn.It is Prince Lewyn, a very Welsh sounding name and similar to Llewellyn. There are lots of Welsh sounding names in the series so I didn't pick up on Wales as a possible Dornish influence at first (God knows the climate is totally different).Also note that here Lewyn is given a Welsh spelling, instead of Luwin (Maester Luwin) which sounds pretty much identical.Back to casting.For Arianne for some reason my head is saying Astrid Berges Frisbey (but more tanned as she lives in a hot climate!)? Although she'd also make a good Lyanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lea Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 When i look at Salma Hayek, I think of Ashara Dayne..i don't know why. If Ashara would have been alive, she'd look like her (accept for the purple eyes)I think Liv Tyler back in the day would have made a good Ashara.For Arianne for some reason my head is saying Astrid Berges Frisbey (but more tanned as she lives in a hot climate!)? Although she'd also make a good Lyanna.Astrid couldn't be further from how I imagine Arianne to be, she's just so white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasmas Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd love for Arianne to be played by Antonia Thomas. She's already worked with Iwan and is friends with Emilia. Angel Coulby is another fit, but I'd like her for Lady Nym as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
