Aerys Blackfyre Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Bridget Reganplease excuse my off-topic comment, but she's so hot! (and since Lyana was "a beautiful lady" too, she would be perfect for that role!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conchobar Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Keira Knightley as I see Lyanna Stark as similar to Elizabeth Swann in PotC. Noble but rebelious.Just NO!Most of the first posts(at least the posts in this thread I have read) are very bad choices for her. For one they don't look like a Stark woman, two, they don't look young enough.Sarah Bolger is my choice for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arionis Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 11-16 aren't going to happen.Yeah, but I don't think actresses in their thirties (Liv Tyler???) are suitable. From 18 to 25-26 IMHO are better suited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastard of Boston Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 For the people saying Bridget is too old -- or anyone is too old, for that matter -- please remember that the show historically ages everyone up, from the child characters to the adults. Sean Bean is 53 and Michelle Fairley is around 50. Bridget Regan is 30. Kit Harington is 26, but we'll assume he plays younger on the show...18-20. That puts Robert's Rebellion at about 20 years in the past. I think an actress, aged 25-30 would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Harrington and Richard Madden might be on their mid twenties, but their characters are 17 years old in the beggining of the first season. Most characters were aged up only by 3 years in the show. Ned is still supposed to be on his late thirties, but remember this is a medieval setting. In our medieval times, people on their late thirties looked old, kinda like the fifties of nowadays. I suppose the same rule applies to Martin's medieval world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, if we're to believe a 26 y/o Kit can play a 17 y/o and a 53 y/o Sean Bean can play late 30s, then there's no reason to feel that a 30 y/o actress can't also play a character who is 20ish.I'm going to throw Jaimie Alexander into the fray -- she's Lady Sif in Thor.

Bridget Regan is an extraordinary actress, she has blue eyes, and she seems like the Starks have to seem. To me, she is perfect for the role. Even Craig Horner, who played Richard Cypher in Lots (Bridget's love), could be a great Brandon Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald Hard-Ruler Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Don't think I've seen her suggested yet but I think Kaya Scodelario would be perfect. She is 20, has the Stark colouring, is very attractive but but also has a lot of character in her features (not really a classic beauty per say) and actually looks quite similar to Maisie Williams which is ideal since Arya is supposed to resemble Lyana.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2546012/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
