Westeros Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 For those who are fans of Misfits, the British comedy-drama about a group of delinquents who manifest super powers (Michelle Fairley had a role in its first season), a bit of interesting news cropped up over night: actor Iwan Rheon, who played the moody, shy Simon Bellamy (a character who was one of the most complex storylines in the series, and one that ended with series 3—he won’t be returning for the 4th), has an updated CV —updated within the last two weeks, in fact—noting himself as having a role in Game of Thrones. And what role does the CV reveal for him? read on >>> Visit the Site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasonbeard Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Great news. This guy seriously has the acting chops to play any role. He would be great as Ramsay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The guy from the Vale Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I agree he'd be great in a number of roles, but he's definitely very close to my mental image of Ramsay.Edit: typo plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Mark Selmy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Great news. This guy seriously has the acting chops to play any role. He would be great as Ramsay though.And that's quite probably the role he will play. ^^Reasoning:1- Ramsay is one of the few characters that would have to be in the 3rd season and hasn't been cast yet.2- Iwan Rheon is already one of the popular fan choices for the part, along with Robert Sheeshan (the other guy from Misfits) and Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow from Batman).

Jamie Lannister Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Total Ramsay. He's perfect for him.The incredibly vague casting name is unsettling though. I suppose Ramsay wasn't namedropped last season (Roose always called him "my boy," "my bastard," or "my bastard at the Dreadfort"), but eh.

Si Targaryen Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Another fantastic piece of casting news. I really do hope he is Ramsay, as I think he would be perfect. I'm guessing the "Boy" on his CV is just an attempt to cover until HBO decide to confirm the news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hope it's Ramsay, agree he looks like he would be great for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't know the guy, never watched Misfits, but looking at your reactions it's great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intransigence Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Perfect fit from Ramsey, brilliant if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't know Misfits, so maybe he's too big an actor for this, but considering there's been no official announcements or anything and this is just something zealous people managed to dig, couldn't he be literally just be playing boy? And be at the end of one episode and the start of another (hence the 'various directors')? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And be at the end of one episode and the start of another (hence the 'various directors')?Nope. He is arguably the second more important actor from the cast of Misfits (after Robert Sheeshan). And Misfits got pretty big in Britain. Also an actress from the same ensemble cast (the five main Misfits) is the one already cast as Missandei. It would be really weird to give him a lesser role than her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrond Hubbard Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I imagine he won't be introduced as Ramsay or Reek, but will take the guise of a prisoner of the Dreadfort and gain Theon's trust. I expected Ramsay wouldn't be cast by name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagisa Furukawa Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 As a big fan of Misfits (well, the first two series of Misfits), I wanted Iwan Rheon for Ramsey a few months ago, so if it's who he's playing, I'll be ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Lannister Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Is it Ramsay or Ramsey?Ramsay. Also:Sources say the role of "Boy," being played by Iwan Rheon, is a six-episode role and the character "befriends" Theon. Looks like Rheon is GoT’s newest bastard.

Jolene Brown Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A six-episode role for this season or forever? Because if it's a six-episode role altogether, I don't see how it could be Ramsay. Usually when people are hired for multiple seasons, they don't bother to specify how many episodes they'll be in for the next one, do they? Hmmm.

Arkash Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I really hope this is true !!6 episodes would be great to really devellop a story-arc where Ramsay manipulates Theon by pretending to be a prisoner with him (till the point where Theon confess to him not killing the Stark boys), then the revelation of his true nature and identity (I can see this as being the twist ending of episode 6/7), then some more torture till the end of the season with Theon slowly becoming Reek, mentaly and physicaly.Then, season 4: more torture and catch back with the beginning of Dance around the last episodes of season 4... maybe ending season 4 with the arrival at Winterfell.
