Aeternum Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Roose of the books is weasely, soft spoken and has beady eyes and wormy lips.Excuse me? Our Lord is not "beady-eyed", and definitely not "weaselly". You must be confusing him with the Freys. Read the books again, because our Warden of the North is physically described a lot. I will overlook this insulting post, because it amuses me, but type that shit again and the offending fingers will be flayed. B)On a more serious note, Roose should be pictured more as "polite and mild-mannered suburban dad who is secretly a serial killer" than as "ugly and wormy politician who is obviously a slimeball." He looks and acts very normal (his looks are described as boringly bland), with only a few signs of his real nature - think of Kevin Spacey in Se7en rather than Gordon Gekko.

Seemingly normal and unassuming, but possessing a visibly cold and threatening exterior at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Star Pate Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 .I shall watch this.Watch and enjoy brother. You might see a familiar face whilst you do. Good comparison, but I pictured Roose to be closer than Breaking Bad's Gustavo Fring than anybody else. Seemingly normal and unassuming, but possessing a visibly cold and threatening exterior at the same time.TV Roose does seem very much like Gustavo in character and manner. He a coldblooded killa.

bastard-of-winterfell Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I definitely think he took some amusment in it. How else do you explain his wry "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" as he made the killing blow?****lannisters send their regards, not jaime.

bastard-of-winterfell Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 He certainly bolted out of the way quickly. You could even say he got his bolt on... Alright, terrible puns aside.It's all about the direction. While I agree he was bailing away from the oncoming crossbow fire, him running in that certain direction helped the flow of the scene.> He runs to his right, drawing the audiences eyes to Talisa/Lame Lothar > Talisa is stabbed from behind> cut to Robb's reaction and him getting hit by bolts> cut to army's reaction/general slaughter.he was BOLTEN outa there!

papirico52 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think the bad guy from The Crow (movie) should have played Roose IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Grimshaw Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The bad guy from the The Crow is Michael Wincott. He is awesome, but he is not Roose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady White Wolf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Have to say that I love the actor as Roose but didn't love RW execution. Still looking forward to next seasons storyline tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormking Alesander I Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think Roose Trollton is a bit like a grown up, clever Ramsay Bolton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecore Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Excellent portrayal acting wise, but he doesn't look anything like how Roose is described in the novel. My only complaint about the entire scene is that I wish the part where Roose mumbles under his breath before excusing himself initially was acted out as well. When I had read through it the first time in the book, my initial reaction "wait, what??", the only thing that suggested I actually read what I read was thinking back to Roose's odd behavior right before the killing began.
