Pigeon Pie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Pigeon Pie, I believe that Rhaegar was only 3 years older than Robert. It's easy to forget that he was still young (at least from my perspective) being only about 22 at Harrenhall. I'm an Aussie and when I was reading ASOIAF, Chris Hemsworth was doing ads for our local pay TV company. He was very suave and unThor like, with longish blond hair tied back and I remember thinking he would make a good Rhaegar. Even a very middle aged women like myself couldn't help looking forward to those ads coming on. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadwood Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hemsworth has a slim build, that he pumps up for Thor. He might fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Lol Rhaegar is supposed to be tough looking too, that kid looks like he should be singing MMMBoop......dooooboppppp do it all boppppp or something like that. Rhaegar is more like this : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/JaxTeller.jpg Let him grow the hair longer and shave and he's perfect.

Pigeon Pie Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just something to help you all out, this tumblr blog drew their imagined Rhaegar physique. I find it pretty close to my imagination. http://rhaegxr.tumblr.com/post/94863950121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephere Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I like Emil Andersson for Rhaegar (Wippy's suggestion), but he looks much more appropriate in this pic: http://41.media.tumblr.com/512d21be3280d8679fec4ab7b820b16b/tumblr_n6p7o6fCjU1sxfhu9o1_1280.jpg I really love Karla Ortiz's depiction of Rhaegar, the look on his face is heart breakingly perfect: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/File:Rhaegar_twoiaf.jpg Not sure which actor looks the most similar...

IMNHAAO Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 im an aussie too and i know exactly what u mean luv those ads...he would be a great Rhaegar. ...luv his deep voice too Maybe it's my not being Aussie, maybe it's my bad taste, or perhaps the fact that first time I saw him he played a beefy idiot superhero, but really I cannot turn my head into Hemsworth as Rhaegar. When I tried to draw Rhaegar I found myself looking for reference more toward a young Depp, which is weird on two levels: because I usually like stronger features and also because physiognomy was stupid two centuries ago and things haven't changed since so all I said makes no sense whatsoever. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygritte. Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Chris Hemsworth, simply because I am partway through 'The World of Ice and Fire' and this picture in there looks like him. Emil Anderson looks pretty close too! I couldn't find any acting records for him when I skimmed the first page of google though...... I don't know him either (my thoughts anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-L Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The likes of Chris Hemsworth or Charlie Hunman corresponds more to Arthur Dayne in my mind, Rhaegar would be rather tall (around 6' or 6'1) and slender like Jon and Viserys. The idea of Rhaegar towering Robert seems a little bit far-fetched to me, Robert is a 6'6 bull, one of the tallest men of series and those noted to be taller than him have their size really emphasized. On the other hand Rhaegar was only said to be taller than Viserys who himself was never noted to be particularly tall, it's hardly a proof of him being around the Hound size (or taller).

princess_snow Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 What about putting a wig on Henry Cavil ? HE has that look I imagine Rhaegar had - intelligent and slightly broody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adar Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I just thought of this now, but what about Joshua Bowman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandzipop Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Kit has had to shave to see how long it takes his beard to grow back for a role. A wig, contact lenses and a shave, revert back to his proper accent and Kit could pass for Rhaegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dernhelm Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I doubt they will go with a big name actor for the part, they've mostly went with relative unknowns so far, mostly established European actors. So i still stick with my choice: German actor Matthias Schweighöfer (now 35 but looks younger) http://www.klatsch-tratsch.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/de-pub-prod-VFRDN-3671N.jpg https://www.redbulletin.com/sites/default/files/styles/sharing-thumbnail/public/images/article-thumbnail-smartphone/schweighoefer_berndjaworek.jpg?itok=UxCMGAwJ Not too buff/bulky like Hunnam or Hemsworth, slender enough. Got a nice smooth face like Harry Lloyd's Viserys. And btw, he sings too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Renee Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I see several others have suggested Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I totally agree. He's quite slim and similar to visyris, and a great actor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlamaria Ramirez Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I dont usually follow the casting calls but somewhere it was said they will look for an actor that can both sing and fight with a sword. There is also the thing about him having this particular beauty and melancholy mixed there. I doubt big names may be considered if this is probably a flashback (they have already started the casting calls looking for a boy and girl, northern accent to be on their teens) but who knows. Now onto finding a tall, handsome man with sad (purple) puppy eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 My ultimate Rhaegar would be Alexander Skarsgard. It wouldn't be the first time he's worked on an HBO show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
