Casting Victarion - Who would you pick?


King of the Road

Recommended Posts

Well, there are a lot of choices for this character. Him being so pivotal, I feel that he should be played by an actor that everyone will probably know by face. However, he should also be physically imposing.

So, here are my top two choices:

1. Ray Stevenson.

He previously featured in HBO's Rome, with his character being a fan favourite. He has experience of HBO, while his physical presence would make him a good choice.

2. Gotz Otto

Having featured as a Bond henchman in Tomorrow Never Dies, and as the villainous Walter in The Pillars of the Earth, he's got the acting experience, whilst his physique definitely looks imposing enough for Victarion. As a relative unknown, he'd probably be slightly cheaper than Stevenson.

i thought that this could be a good role for james purefoy (i know everyone wants to cast james purefoy) but he did say he wanted to be in thrones and victarion is the only character who's the right age and a big enough role, i think he'd be better for Euron tbh, but the guy only has like three scenes if that. Still, Gotz Otto looks a good choice too

Ron Pearlmans too old, and he just really plays Ron Pearlman. Would rather see him in a cameo as Randall Tarly. Also doubt he would commit since there has been talk of Hellboy 3

I have to agree. I think Ron Pearlman would be good in a cameo role, but having seen him in a few things he seems too old. Whilst this isn't really a problem a la Ciaran Hinds, I don't think he has the acting ability to hold up against what is a truly stellar cast.

In my opinion the perfect actor would be Vladmir Kulich who played in the 13th Warrior and more resently in the movie Ironclad

Clive Russel who was also in the movie 13th warrior will play Blackfish Tully in the upcoming season 3 so it would be wonderful to see them on the same project ones again

for the people that dont know Kulich here some pictures !

(and he kind looks like balon and damphair)

Yes. I was thinking about this with my brother just the other day, he'd be another ideal choice. I could also have seen him being a good Gregor Clegane.
