LordManderlyAsDragonRider Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 When she had been presented to him, Cersei had almost drowned in the depths of his sad purple eyes. “He has been wounded." Eyes you can drown in, that makes me think of Jared Leto and Cillian Murphy. They are both a lot older than what Rhaegar would have been when he died, but the show really haven't been consistent when it comes to ages. And Jared Leto must have found a fountain of youth, he looks the same as he did 15 years ago. He could also do a sad, melancholic song really well. Cillian Murphy has those astounding eyes as well, and he looks somewhat similar to Harry Lloyds. They both have a "gaunt" look to them, and I think that Cillian in one of those horrible blonde wigs would like like Harry's brother. I am on the side that imagine Rhaegar as somewhat feminine looking which both of these actor do. It is really interesting to see how there is almost a 50/50 divide on this thread about the appearance of Rheagar, as far as traditional masculine vs effeminate. I guess no two people ever do read the same book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tower of albion Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Jon-Michael Ecker, Just saw him playing 'the lion' on an episode of Narcos and thought hey that guy would make a great Rhaegar. P.s is it just me or is Pedro Pascal looking more and more like Burt Reynolds? Time for a remake of Smokey and the Bandit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandzipop Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I know it is probably a joke. But he seriously looks like how I imagined Rhaegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandzipop Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Sadly, it appears that he was joking. It is a pity because he does look the part. Mind you, when he opens his mouth it goes downhill. Even if he managed to pull off the accent, his voice is quite high pitched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen According to Sue, nobody has been cast to play Rhaegar (although I doubt that she'd spill even if she knew they had). The guy has ruled himself out of the job by being so blatent. I agree, he does look the part. He's the closest I've seen to a consensus of people agreeing that he looks pretty close to the image that people had painted in their heads of Rhaegar.

I know someone who looks similiar but with dark hair. It depends on if Rhaegar part would be big or just a short flashback. For a flashback like giving a rose at HH tournee it would be easy, but for a bigger part you need acting skills, voice and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue lies when he opens his mouth. He sounds too young. Not quite manly enough. There are a lot of actors that would be good for the part. If he were a decent actor, he could get the part on public will. It wouldn't be the first time they've cast based on public will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylou Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 What a pity. But everybody confirmed Jon Snow dead and of course he wasn't, so let's wait and see. For me, he would be an excellent casting choice. They messed up the Greyjoys already, please make it right with Rhaegar.

Ashes Of Westeros Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The hype is gone so quickly as it came. I undestand that it probably was a publicity thing for GOT and the guy. But I'm not convinced that HBO would be ok if every Tom, Dick, and Harry would claim they are in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrizelda Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I have trawled through a lot of suggestions for Rhaegar and I've noticed that not a lot of attention was paid to one of his most distinct traits that was made canon in the show. His singing. Not yet canon in the show but very telling for his character in the book and a source of a lot of mystery was also his songwriting. So I'm going to put forth a suggestion that is really out of left field.... HOZIER. picture in profile Eyebrows are as thick as Emilia's Dany, nose... slightly resembles Harry Lloyd's (Viserys) Without the beard, trying to look debonair Listen to his song that was in the season 4 dvd trailer "In the Woods Somewhere"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqV249mFX14 and I can tell he'll be able to write a song like what was described in the books: When you heard him play his high harp with the silver strings and sing of twilights and tears and the death of kings, you could not but feel that he was singing of himself and those he loved another one of his : He is singing and playing it live! And the LYRICS! He wrote all of it Actually just his hands on a harp, his voice and his songwriting as Rhaegar would suffice. Just get him to sing and write the "Song of Ice and Fire" and that would be fine. I understand that he is not totally conventionally handsome with his janky teeth, too big nose and thin long face. He is too tall (6foot5) and skinny for Rhaegar as well. But if the only scene of Rhaegar's we see is Dany's vision of him singing and playing his harp in the House of Undying then swordfighting and jousting will not be high on the priorities. I even feel that the show wants to highlight that Jon got his martial prowess from Lyanna and his broodiness from Rhaegar, because of the way Barristan and Dany's scene about Rhaegar went. I see them focusing more on his scholarly pursuits and his obsession with prophecy. More HOZIER goodness: "Run" about the tense relationship of the land and sea in Ireland "In a Week" the most romantic song about 2 rotting corpses, very GRRM I think this one qualifies as one that would "make women weep"; "Cherry Wine" As for acting he did a little of it in his video for "From Eden" Actually, his coloring would be suited to a white wig. The handsome factor can be amplified with great makeup, lighting and camera angles, and his resemblance to other Targaryens... well he does have great thick eyebrows, his nose would be closer to Viserys's (Harry Lloyd) than Emilia as Dany. Do you see it? More importantly, can you hear it? Does he have the iron tones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dragon King Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 My ideal Rhaegar would be played by model Jason Morgan. https://fashfever.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/jason-morgan-massimo-dutti-nyc-collection-lookbook-023.jpg http://ftape.com/model/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Jason-Morgan-The-Model-Wall-FTAPE-thumb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
