If HBO hypothetically decided to do a flashback to robert's rebellion the cast would be.....


Arianne Stark

Just a couple of randoms:

Ian McShane or Mads Mikkelsen as the Mad King (Mads has the look a Targaryen, I think)

Steven Waddington as Lord Jon Connington

Michael Pitt as Prince Rhaegar

Joel Edgerton as King Robert

Daniel Craig as Ser Barristan or Ser Arthur Dayne would be fun to watch, though either role would be a relatively small one for such a big-money actor. And since I'm bandying about big(ger) names, I like Eric Bana for Brandon Stark and F. Murray Abraham as Jon Arryn.

John Noble (In full Lord Steward of Gondor get-up) as Lord Rickard.

Gary Oldman-Aerys, Chris Hemsworth-Ned, Henry Cavill-Robert, Rheagar-Charlie Hunnum or Alexander Skarsgard, Deborah-Anne Woll-Cat, Eva Green-Cersei, Alex Pettyfer-Jaime, Hugh Jackman-Rickard, Olivia Wilde-Lyanna. And do it as a 2 part HBO-movie

How the fuck does Viggo Mortensen do Robert??? He's in his fifties! He's older than the guy that they cast as Robert in Season 1! Let's get realistic please.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they cast Armitage as one of the Greyjoy brothers so...

Your choice for Robert is both shorter then your choice for Ned, and a lot younger then you choice for Stannis.

And if you are deciding to let Emma Watson to play Cersei, then why not let the actress' actual brother Alex Watson play the young Jaime? They look exactly alike!!

Here's a picture:

but personally I don't really think Emma looks like Cersei.... She doesn't seem malicious enough...

Well there is a fantasy list and there are the practical lists, any actor commanding 6 figures a show is probably out the door. I would guess anyone commanding over 30,000 is on the fringe of not being in the cast. The sheer amount of cast members even in this prequel will be huge to tie it all up the way it should be. I would venture to say a lot of young theater actors and bit players that have been seen before. The older actors would surely be of the type that have been B level movies or series whether its Europe or the US. Other then Dinklage I think almost everyone is from the British Isles or Europe currently now.

For us in the US we are seeing many faces that are unfamliar typically. I read where the accents used in the series are purposely incorperated as well using Northern and Southern English based on how Britains dialect is.

I guess you could actually have two castings, the fantasy one with no budget and then the practical one. Would be interesting to see what peoples vison of characters are given a endless budget.
