Mr Smith Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have a very clear image of Griff in my head, particular in regards to his manner. They need to cast someone with the sort of shortness and bitterness that surrounds Griff's character.My personal choice would be Jeremy Irons, although he might be getting a bit old now...

Fightbringer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 i've been thinking about who to cast in this role and to me its perhaps the easiest one to cast there are loads of great actors who'd fit in this role really wellideally, my favourite would be Kevin McKidd (have you seen the guy in rome? his character is practically griff, and he's ginger to boot) but he's indicate he doesnt like the idea of going on game of thrones very much because it 'stole his show' apparently or something like thathttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0571727/?ref_=sr_1plenty of other candidates too thoughdavid wenham http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920992/?ref_=sr_1john simm http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0799591/?ref_=sr_1christopher eccleston http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001172/?ref_=sr_4Tony Curran http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192889/?ref_=sr_1all of these guys have played serious, soldier type roles before and would fit perfectly as connington (though admittedly i'm annoyed mckidd wont be cast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Richard Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't know the actor very well, but I found him cast by Nina Gold in Edgar Wright's next film.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213663/Realised my post made no sense... Julian Seager is the actor.Here's a link. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4788909/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald Hard-Ruler Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Sean Harris from the Borgias would be good too. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2441196800/nm0365317 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Since having Paul Bettany in my minds eye whilst reading, I just know I'll be disappointed on hearing who's got the role.Of course, I'm equally sure my disappointment won't survive the actor's first scene - the casting really is fantastic.I'm sure someone will have nominated Purefoy, and pretty much everyone else from Rome by the time I head up to bed tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillinLikeSerIlyn Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think Damian Lewis would be great in this role, but he is probably too big a star now because of Homeland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Tony Curran would be my choice for Griff. He's got the right look and the acting chops. His agency says that he's interested in appearing in the series and he's already been in two HBO shows (Boardwalk Empire and Luck).http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192889/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dervisss Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Why not Micheal C.Hall, i dont think that he is very expensive en this will be his last season in Dexter. And he has big fanbase with Dexter so it will also bring more viewers to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wharto15 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 John Simm without a doubt for Old Griff and how about this guy for young Griff? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Nico+Mirallegro&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=QVmBUf6ANILMOYCBgeAM&biw=1280&bih=645&sei=RVmBUaDsIs3z0gXZpICYBw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StannisandDaeny Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Liam Neeson or Edd Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimTuesday Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 John Simm is 5'9", compared to the other actors on the show, no one will buy him being a warrior. Christopher Eccleston would be a good choice in my opinion, but he would be a good choice for many roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayed Starkman Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I could see Liam Neeson pulling this off.I personally believe the show has lacked a "proper" star actor since Sean Bean. Every show needs at least one widely famous actor, and GoT is currently lacking, although the show has made stars out of some of the cast.Liam Neeson would fit this bill nicely, and I could definitely seeing him bringing the tragic hero that is Jon Connington to the small screen.
