Emilydayne Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Frieda Pinto looks more Dothraki to me. They never definitely never described the Dornish being so dark in coloring. They do say that The Sandy Dorinshmen are darker than the Salty. However they do say that their faces are "burned brown by the sun" but That tells me that aren't brown to begin with. How about Sarah Shahi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Sarah Shahi?When it comes to Arianne, I do believe GRRM describes her as being darker skinned, though I can't cite a specific page in any of the books. I know her mother is from Norvos, but I'm not sure what the Norvosi are like. I assumed Arianne got her coloring from her mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Sarah Shahi?Well that doesn't really matter since all of Arianne's pov chapters up to this point have been in Dorne where "the sun burns their skin brown" so there's no point of getting an actress that doesn't have that type of brown skin now is there? Arianne definitely comes off as having darker skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyofslytherin Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I can't believe no one else has brought up Genevieve Padalecki yet.http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2986260736/nm1298809http://www.imdb.com/media/rm365214464/tt1627712Sassy, sexy as Hell, 5' 4", certainly capable of playing someone who is as cunning, intelligent, vulnerable, proud, strong-willed and sensual as our princess Arianne. And at 32, she still looks young enough to pass if they're not aging Arianne up but is old enough to be believable if they are.The only caveat would be the shooting schedule/location: her husband, Jared Padalecki is committed to Supernatural through the end of the current season and into the next, Supernatural shoots in Vancouver and the couple's child is only a year old. Based on what I've seen of their relationship, I'd say she'd only accept it if her schedule didn't overlap with his, or at least not by very much.Anyway, she's my head!canon for Arianne.

Arianne is described as having darker skin than Genevieve has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwisp Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Archie Panjabi who plays Kalinda on The Good Wife I think would be a good fit. Rhona Mitra might be good, but might be a little older to play Arianne. Maybe Michelle Gonzalez? I would say Jessica Alba but I think she's too big at this point.

Jessica Alba? Hahaha no just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I dont know who should play her, but I'll bet even money that the character's name will be changed for the series.too similar to Arya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven's Teeth Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Greek actress Tonia SotiropoulouIn my opinion she has the right look for Arianne:http://media.screened.com/uploads/2/25079/665247-sotiropoulou_profile_portrait__large.pnghttp://thelesfilms.f...4/555845367.jpghttp://www.mi6-hq.co...ropoulou_09.jpghttp://images5.fanpo...5-2560-1846.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adiman83 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 What about Rosario Dawson? Her Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent certainly makes her exotic enough to be Arianne and her skin and eyes are naturally dark. They wouldn't need make-up for that. The hair can be fixed with a wig so I'm not considering that aspect as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But strictly considering the looks I think she would be a good Arianne. A bit to tall but that can be fixed with camera angles or other "magic tricks".I wonder who GRRM had in mind when he wrote her.

gibbles545 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I generally pictured her looking a bit like Patricia Velásquez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Knight Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have always favored a lovely young Spanish actress named Clara Lago for the role of Arianne. Here is the FB Link: https://www.facebook...?ref=ts&fref=ts She's the right age, clearly looks the part, she can speak English, and has the acting chops. SO..... She's the one that gets my vote! ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
