There is no actor more perfect that Jame Purefoy to play Brandon Stark. If any of you had seen HBO's Rome years ago, he portrayed Mark Antony and played the arrogant and whoring general. In Stars Camelot he played the warlord King Lot who was a savage fighter and had an extremely hot temper which compares well to Brandon. In the movie Ironclad he played a member of the Knights Templar, he was a savage fighter which compares favorably to Brandon Stark. He has played characters in TV and movies that have all of the characteristics of Brandon Stark. Dude would be perfect.

Edit: Nearly forgot the movie Solomon Kane where he also played a savage fighter

I want to see James Purefoy in this series at some point, but preferably to play a bigger role.

Why would they need to cast a Brandon Stark?

For Jaime's flashbacks I assume

Maybe for a prequel?

The show does have it's own rules, they don't have to follow the sequence of the books. Perhaps flashbacks could serve to lengthen the story and give GRRM more time to complete things, it wouldn't be a bad idea if done the right way though. If you bring in Brandon Stark then you have to bring back Ned, and introduce character like Rhaegar and Lyanna etc.

I just can't imagine them not showing Jaime's flashbacks. Will make for much better television to show it rather then just have him telling Brienne about it.

I suppose you're right...

He said he would never do GoT cause HBO dropped Rome for GoT and stole his show or something like that.

Was Kevin McKidd who said that. James Purefoy said he agreed with him but it's unclear whether he was speaking in jest.
