Gheimhridh ag teacht Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Seems confirmed...? http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/07/17/game-of-thrones-sherlock/Hmmm...I think he'd be a great Mace Tyrell, has the right level of pomposity.Delighted he's joined - he's fantastic!

The Frostfangs Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Im so happy about this, I think Mace is a good bet...Maybe Bowen Marsh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarniwoop Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Bloodraven? hope so. Too skinny for mace. Could be Coldhands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutrabe Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I bet he's Mace Tyrell. I guess it will work, although I'd still prefer Brendan Gleeson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Luke. Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good news, not quite sure who he'd play though. Mace is a possibility, but I pictured him fatter. Bowen Marsh is as good a guess as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChozenOne Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Or possibly one of the Greyjoy brothers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarniwoop Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 They already have a Bowen Marsh. And whats so secret about Mace Tyrell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moophasa Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He could be anyone really, but given that he's a successful actor they're probably looking at a recurring role - Mace Tyrell. Can't wait for more news!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan_Snow Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Too small to play Vic. He doesn't look right at all for Euron. Its gotta be Mace Tyrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Bloodraven or the Kindly Man would make more sense to me than Mace Tyrell, both in terms of physical type (he's not only not fat, he's wiry) and character type (he projects posh intelligence).

Kate Greyjoy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Very exciting! Of the main roles, it would seem he would be best for Mace, and they just won't make him fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Jakkor Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I don't know why people are so set on Mace, is he supposed to play a large role in the next season or something? I doubt they even announce who is cast as Mace, he basically serves as a judge during the trial. And even if he does why make it a "secret" who he's cast as? My bet is on Bloodraven, since Bran is clearly going to reach him much sooner than in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Falcon Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I don't think it can be Mace. He's too skinny, yes, but I mainly feel this way because they're trying to keep it a secret. They had no problems with revealing the casting of Oberyn Martell.I tend to think he might be the kindly man. The last time they went with the anonymous casting, it turned out to be Ramsay Snow, who was intentionally mysterious (like the kindly man). Bloodraven isn't out of the question either.

Harry Lime Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've been recommending him to play the High Sparrow for a while. Perhaps we see him preaching on a streetcorner this season and he gets promoted to High Septon in season 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Arys is a possibility as well, but I still wouldn't get the secrecy of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Very exciting, he's a great actor.As for who he'll play, I don't see him as Mace. He's done comedy, but, unless they're changing the character around a lot, he just doesn't seem like Mace. There's not enough bumpkin to him. My first guess was a re-cast Bowen Marsh, but I can't see why they wouldn't just reveal that (unless its coming at Comic-Con), so I think the guesses of either the Kindly Man or Bloodraven are more spot-on.High Septon is an interesting guess as well, but I can't see that being much of a role before Season 5. And the show has thus far shown a major aversion to casting major roles before their big season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sennahoj Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've been recommending him to play the High Sparrow for a while. Perhaps we see him preaching on a streetcorner this season and he gets promoted to High Septon in season 5?You beat me to it. My gut reaction to Mark Gatiss' being cast was: He could play a religious figure, one of the sparrows, the future High Septon. I think he could pull that off. Considering the continued travel of Arya and the Hound through the Riverlands, they may very well meet him in the ruins of a monastery, or preaching to the poor. At least that's something I'd like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Draper Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I would guess Mace, but then why would they keep that casting under wraps? They announced Oberyn so why wouldn't they announce Mace? He has to be playing somebody who is coming in a bit earlier than they did in the books or a character who's true identity won't be revealed until we're reasonably far into the season ... like they did with Ramsay. But who would that be?If he's one of the Greyjoys that would make sense, as they aren't really introduced until Feast. He's definitely more likely to be Euron than Victarion. Not Damphair. He's not Dornish. I'm trying to run through all of the characters. I don't think he'll be playing Mace. It's odd not to reveal that if he were. Bloodraven maybe. Not Coldhands, what's the point? Not Bowen, we already have a Bowen. Arys Oakheart? The High Sparrow?Hmm I don't know. I'm delightfully baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
