His Mr. White from "Reservoir Dogs" is close to how I imagine Davos. Minus the criminal mentality, of course. His loyalty to Mr. Orange is memorable. In an interview, Tarantino said that while attending some film school he had to analyze the subtext of his script for "Dogs", and in the process he realized Mr. White and Mr. Orange are in the roles of "father" and "son". Well, Davos/Stannis can't be too far from that. Stannis being without a proper father figure in his childhood and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point, he would be great in that role-@ NotYourSir BTW, I started a General ASoIaF thread: "It's the year 2000. You are hired as GRRM's editor" -inspired by our conversation yesterday.

I even thought about posting, but realized I'd add nothing I didn't already wrote in that post from yesterday. And wasting internet space without a reason is the bigger sin than flaying whales, if you ask me. So I gave up. Tanks for the invite, in any case. I'll continue to follow it. And, provided I come up with something interesting, I'll jump in, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The friendly Wight Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If Arthur Dayne were to be in it, Marlon Brando. A young Brando, "The young lions", 1958.Also, Liam Neeson, "Kingdom of Heaven", that would be my Ned.Tim McInnerny as Lancel Lannister, Lord Percy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysd Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 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...Considering you could pick anyone ever that is an interesting list. I would say no one on that list really fits the character and none are better than who was actually cast in the shoiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis' shadow babies Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Oberyn - Yul BrynnerWinner. I was looking at pictures because I couldn't remember the exact name of the actor. I thought of Varys first (yes, for the baldness, I'm that simple) but Oberyn is much, much better.Catelyn Stark: Charlotte RamplingCersei: Catherine Deneuve(Set my options to the corresponding TV show age) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
