PeterPaulGualtieri Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 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 ConningtonMichael Pitt as Prince RhaegarJoel Edgerton as King RobertDaniel 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.

TheGreatGlover Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Richard Armitage as Rhaegar.I think Armitage would be a better stark. He has the more rough northern look and is also from Sheffield. He doesnt come across as the knight in shining armour that Rhaegar is described as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeByRockets Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't know why but I feel like Tom Hiddleston would play a good Rhaegar... He can deliver smug remarks/looks pretty well, especially as Loki in the Avengers. I just feel like he would play it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stark Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 All I can think of is Richard Armitage as Ned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordos_Kull Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Rory Kinnear would be an ideal Robert Baratheon, as he looks like a younger version of Mark Addy. Also if you watch him in Richard Eyre's Richard II, he is essentially playing the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smith Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jslay427 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I don't care for him much, but Colin Farrel is what I imagine Brandon to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenHand at SnowCastle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I think Jim Sturgess would really be a good young Robert, perhaps with some beard. Remember young Robert is supposed to be pretty lean & handsome at that time....and here's a pichttp://www.google.ca/search?um=1&newwindow=1&hl=zh-CN&tbm=isch&q=james+sturgess&spell=1&sa=X&ei=-GvOUaaoN5HxiQKI5IH4CA&ved=0CE4QvwUoAA&biw=1224&bih=683#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=LmOhMKVS4K3LrM%3A%3Bxsc3glI6yEZqOM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww3.pictures.zimbio.com%252Fgi%252FJim%252BSturgess%252B2010%252BDubai%252BInternational%252BFilm%252B6OOqTV5l_Fdl.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcelebrity-look-alikes.blogspot.com%252F2011%252F04%252Fjim-sturgess-jason-dohring-edward.html%3B420%3B594 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenHand at SnowCastle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 also, as of now i really cant think of anyone suited for playing Lyanna. If Jennifer Connelly is like 20 years younger she'd be perfect for Lyanna :D (long face, dark hair, beautiful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Areo Mace Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Too many Hollywood names being suggested, doubt HBO will be able to sign all them in one show. But then again anything's possible... here's my suggestions! Note that I kept some that may be able to reprise their roles but may need to make them look younger...ROBERT’S REBELLION – Game of Thrones Prequel HOUSE STARKRickard Stark - Anthony Stewart HeadBrandon Stark – Eoin MackenEddard Stark – Liam HemsworthLyanna Stark – Alicia VikanderHOUSE BARATHEONRobert Baratheon – Nicholas HoultStannis Baratheon- David TennantHOUSE LANNISTERTywin Lannister - Charles DanceCersei Lannister- Emma WatsonJaime Lannister – Alex PettyferTyrion Lannister - Brad WilliamsHOUSE TARGARYENKing Aerys Targaryen – Jason FlemyngRhaella Targaryen - Sophie WinklemanRhaegar Targaryen – Gaspard UllielElia Martell Targaryen - Angel CoulbyOTHER CHARACTERSJon Arryn – Jonathan PryceDavos Seaworth - Liam CunninghamHoster Tully – Bernard HillCatelyn Tully – Sophie BereniceLysa Tully – Rachel BrightPetyr Baelish – Alex WyndhamWalder Frey - David BradleyHowland Reed – Con O’NeillJon Connington – Richard E GrantAshara Dayne – Aruna ShieldsArthur Dayne – Santiago CabreraWillem Darry - David BamberGerold Hightower - Ray StevensonOswell Whent - Sharlto CopleyBarristan Selmy - Ian McElhinneyJorah Mormont - Iain GlenGrand Maester Pycelle - Julian GloverVarys - Conleth HillMace Tyrell - Ray WinstoneRandyll Tarly - Graham McTavishAmory Lorch - Fintan McKeownGregory Clegane - Ian WhyteYour choice for Robert is both shorter then your choice for Ned, and a lot younger then you choice for Stannis.

GoldenHand at SnowCastle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 And wouldn't this British actress be like the wonderful young Cersei?

They look exactly alike!!Here's a picture:http://fuckyeahalexwatson.tumblr.com/but personally I don't really think Emma looks like Cersei.... She doesn't seem malicious enough...

Faceless Warg Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
