+ I know they aren't Dornish but they are tied in with the Dornish in tWoW.

Will Poulter http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2401020/

Jon Connington-

Kevin McKidd http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0571727/

John Rhys Davies http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722636/

Brendan Gleeson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322407/

This is all just purely speculation and what I'm hoping for, some of my ideas are a bit unrealistic but still, I tried to pick them based on their match to the character/appearance/ethnicity/build etc.- E.g- Emmanuelle Chriqui may be better as Nymeria than as Arianne because Arianne is more voluptuous and curvy.

Thoughts? Hope people like some of these ideas. Took a good 2 hours to make this haha. ^_^

I'd like to see Nick Tarabay as Oberyn Martell. I really enjoyed his acting in the Spartacus series. With a proper wig he'd look like a totally badass Oberyn.

I was thinking along the same lines as you. He could totally pull off Oberyn's personality with all it's included macho and craftiness. His character in Spartacus was also a crafty guy, but a lot more boot-licking and petty kind of person. Just replace those two traits with menacing grandiose and you're good to go.

That's why I considered putting him as one of the options + he isn't as big/famous as the others so it's more realistic, I mean a lot of my ideas for actors are quite unrealistic but I was quite proud of thinking this one up, he was great as Ashur! :idea:

Hmm....I think my fiancee Yaeliz would be an AMAZING Arianne Martell or Nymeria Sand. ;)

She has trained in Arnis/Escrima (Filipino stick-fighting martial arts). She is also about the same height at 5"4, she has large sexy breasts like Arianne is supposed to in the books (34E Cup!!!) and is incredibly intelligent and fiesty !

She has light olive skin and dark brown ni***** as Arianne does as she is Persian/Russian (from Azerbaijan), Algerian(North African) and Portuguese.

Middle Eastern cross Eastern European and North African !!! WOW! The perfect Dornish mix!

She has incredible high cheekbones, black hair and pale grey eyes. I love her insanely toned long legs and wide full hips too....she is like a modern-day Elizabeth Taylor or Sophia Loren, but more exotic and twice as fiery and hot-blooded! A real pocket rocket! haha!

She is studying to be an actor too so I would love her to get a big break like this!! I'm training her in Aikido too as I'm a teacher/black belt.

Here are some of her pictures...What do you think?? Not bad eh? With a longblack curly wig she would be the PERFECT ARIANNE MARTELL! After all Dany and Cersei wear wigs too don't they??

CHECK HER OUT! Her name is Yaeliz :) I am marrying her next year, if she's still have me! :)

Or maybe she'd be good as one of the Sand Snakes like

Ellaria Sand or Nymeria??

But still I think she's best as Arianne Martell personally...

1) Yaeliz Ait Eshtehardi

I think she would be better as a Sand Snake because, no offence, I don't see the directors being comfortable allowing an actress with minimal experience to play such a major character.

I want Brendan Gleeson to play anyone...thought he'd be a great Mance, but I like where they went with that.

Maybe Dominic West as the Red Viper?

Either way, I really want West and Gleeson in it before it's all said and done

I've named my choices before, no harm in naming them again, I suppose (not much good either since I doubt casting folk will read or care about my opinion).

For Oberyn Martell ----- Amr Waked http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0906756/

For Doran Martell ------ Omar Sharif http://www.imdb.com/...ref_=fn_al_nm_1

ETA:

Rufus Sewell has to be Victarion Greyjoy. He's so perfect for the role.

Tell me my fiancee doesn't look like Arianne Martell?

She's a classically-trained actress/former model/Archaeologist and her name is Yaeliz from Australia.

She is Algerian x Azerbaijani x Russian and Portuguese....

She's got the bod, the face and the fieryness to play Arianne. She has only done short films so far, but I want her to get a big break like this!

Is she hot or what?? :) Tell me she is not the most exotic looking woman you've ever seen!!

(Warning: Some nudity)
