igrewupinKL Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 i realise that. still i want to see aegon not nathan. so if he can achieve that (which i think he might, he is a very good actor) then good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Grimshaw Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Tom Felton. He played the perfect Draco Malfoy, Now he can play the perfect Young Griff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadwood Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 And if we didn't cast actors based on past comedy careers, Hugh Lawrie would never have been House Big name thesps like SImon Callow and Ian McKellen usually espouse the view that the best comedic actors are the best actors. Ronnie Barker always gets good nods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfitzgerald Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Reeve Carney, he plays Dorian Gray in the new Penny Dreadful series and he's good and he has the Aegon look to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagosi Pirate Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think that Jamie Bell would make an amazing Young Griff. He's got incredible acting chops (if anyone saw Nymphomaniac or Hallam Foe they'll know what I mean). He's the same age as Emilia Clarke but still looks youthful enough for people to call him out on being too green to lead. Also, when we first meet Young Griff he seems a normal lad but then he is revealed as angry and intense during the Cyvasse game. Jamie Bell always seems like this too; at first he's just a normal guy and then he goes on to reveal levels of unexpected intensity. Needless to say, he does rage really well. He'd be my first choice. I like Nicholas Hoult a lot but he's always got this cool, laid-back way about him. Young Griff is definitely not laid-back, especially given developments in the sample Arianne chapters of AWOW. He's a hothead who could potentially turn into a future Mad King. I also rate Eddie Redmayne but he's so sweet I'm not sure I can see him as a Targaryen. Jamie Bell for the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfyre Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What if you yourself think you have a chance, e.g. you match the physical side of the character, etc, etc. How would you go about trying to at least get a chance at such a role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagosi Pirate Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The normal way into a role like this would be through theatre. Sophie Turner was told about auditions by her drama teacher, Maisie Williams was at a Performing Arts School, and Kit Harrington did an acting degree and a lot of theatre before going up for the part of Jon Snow. I'd guess try and get a role in a local play, and then invite an agent. Even if you don't manage to get the part of Aegon (realistically there's going to be a lot of competition) at least you might have fun and learn some interesting stuff.

ImpendingFauxPas Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Dane DeHaan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2851530/), he's american, but he's an alright actor and he fits the bill in the looks department por the part. He absolutely excells at playing petulant little twats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfyre Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So basically you have to know the right people and have connections to ever get a chance, Shagosi? ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagosi Pirate Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So basically you have to know the right people and have connections to ever get a chance, Shagosi? ;P It probably helps! :cool4: But that wasn't really what I was trying to say. Generally all actors need to have an agent to get TV auditions. And agents are far more likely to take on a new client if they've seen that actor in a play and know they can pull off a good performance under pressure. Loads of plays have open auditions though. I don't know where you live but you could always check out local adverts, colleges, or twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfyre Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well, Aegon is S5/S6, so time has run out. I merely took interest because I match the physical side/looks and can be convincing enough with emotions :P Delusions of grandeur if anything really.

Skagosi Pirate Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ah, I don't think there's anything wrong with having delusions of grandeur! How would any of us become grand if we didn't start off by following our delusions? If you're interested you might as well give acting a pop. There's nothing to lose. I did a bit of acting, many aeons ago. It didn't suit me very well but the skills have helped me loads, especially in terms of speaking confidently in public.

Warden of Nowhere Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 My vote goes to Ed speleers, he has the right look, he is of a similar age to the actors who play dany, jon snow, viserys etc. and he has done medieval fantasy before when he was in eragon.

Rorey Targaryen Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Nicholas Hoult is an interesting choice. He would also be the third former Skins actor to join after Joe Dempsey (Gendry) and Hannah Murray (Gilly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
