Weeping Sore Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 GoT may have the best cast on television, but if you had your choice of film actors from any time in history, who would you choose? You may think the current cast member is better than anyone else in history, but please stick to re-casting ideas for this thread. (Though I am having a hard time thinking of an alternate for Peter Dinklage in any era, to be honest)A few suggestions of my own:Robert Baratheon - Oliver ReedCersei - Marlene DietrichPetyr Baelish - Peter SellersEddard Stark - Clint EastwoodVarys - Peter LorreBronn - Harry Dean StantonDanaerys Targaryen - Brigitte BardotYou get the picture...

Weeping Sore Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 the only person i know from that list is Clint Eastwood bahahThanks for posting, anyway!Peter Sellers was the original Inspector Clouseu in the Pink Panther movies and also played multiple parts (including the titular role) in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.If you watched Big Love, Harry Dean Stanton was the Prophet of Juniper Creek, but I'm thinking of him in his younger years.Brigitte Bardot is the prototypical French sex kitten of the 60s-But feel free to suggest contemporary actors, anybody you like- I thought about Sarah Michelle Gellar for Danaerys, for example...ETA: My avatar is now Oliver ReedETAA: not anymore!

Fat Mac Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Interesting view with Peter Lorre as Varys. He'd be a bit different from book Varys if played by Lorre, but it'd be interesting.I could see Lorre as Qyburn.I'm trying, but cant think of a character smooth enough that Cary Grant could play :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeping Sore Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Heston played a Mexican (!) sheriff in Touch of Evil, so maybe he could be Oberyn. Actually I can just see Heston delivering those lines to the Mountain. :DHow about a younger Harrison Ford as Jon Connington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xasthur Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I was watching The Patriot yesterday and I found out that Jason Isaacs (the guy who plays Col. Tavington, the villian) would have been the PERFECT Roose Bolton. The eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giskard Reventlov Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Charlton Heston would be good either Ned Stark or Tywin Lannister.Charles Bronson would be great Bron. So Belmondo could be Davos maybe ?Ava Gardner as Melisandre ? Or Fay Dunway ?Young Harison Ford as John Snow?Young Elisabeth Taylor as Lyanna Stark?

Or maybe Isabelle Huppert? Alain Delon for Rhaegar, definitely. Newman's a nice touch for Jaime. Douglas for the Ned could work, but why do I feel like there's a perfect Ned (other than Sean Bean) that we're missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
