ambi76 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm not sure if they actually mentioned his age in the show so far;Unfortunately (for continuities sake) they did. Loras says "Tommen is eight" in the shaving scene of season one to Renly. But they maybe can retcon this as Loras was a tad "exaggerating" here.

PhoenixFlame Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm looking forward to Cersei and Tommen's scenes post-Joffers. Also, if they need some light-hearted character development, it would be cute to see Margaery and Tommen together, like playing with kittens and Tommen clearly seeing her as a cool big sis. Totally nonsensical headcanon, but I always thought it would be cute if Tommen survived to adulthood because everyone saw an easily-manipulated, sweet-natured kid, and put him low on the priorities list, so low most of them died or changed allegiances by the end of it. And Tommen would totally know this and play it up as he got older. "I am like my grandfather, only writ cuter!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So I take it this means there will be no beet hating and kitten loving? :bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Pounce FTW Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Now I bet we won't have the royal decree to outlaw beets or Ser Pounce, and Tommen will be just a serious teen.Hey! HBO can't can me!!! I'm a critical character for Tommen's development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israel Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 HBO have had actors playing multiple roles on shows before, for instance Garrett Dillahunt on Deadwood played Jack McCall and the geologist whose name escapes me. I don't think anyone will remember him greatly, and if he's right for the role then so be it.exactly Dan Hildebrand who pefectly played Krasnys once played two different characters in an episode of Deadwood, he was Tim Driscoll , the guy who played the middleman for Al in a plot sale then Al had him murdered. He was also a regular as Shaughnessy the inn keeper who doesnt tolerate disarray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binga Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I suppose Tommen acting like a small child even if he looks a bit older could add some interesting depth to the character. They could play off his immaturity as a result of the poor parenting he receives and the abuse from Joffrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Luke. Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I googled the actress that plays Myrcella, and yes she still looks older than Tommen. This is one of the pictures I found on her twitter: https://pbs.twimg.co...dweCQAAnDZC.jpgWow, she looks like a 14-15 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor's Nancy Boy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 More stupidity. It's one thing to recast someone who doesn't need to be recast; it's another to recast someone with an already used actor. Should I even be surprised anymore?

Should I even be surprised anymore?Yeah the casting for the show has been really week overall and given us no reason to trust them. Right...I don't really like the idea but you're making it sound like Nina's a hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand old duke of stark Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I wouldn't recognise Martin Lannister in a million years. Neither will almost anyone who doesn't obsess on the show, re-watch the DVDs etc. Besides, if the new kid can act, they can use makeup and wig to make him look like little Tommen after a reasonable growth spurt. I do hope the newcomer can act and hold his own against a formidable cast. If he can, it should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtree Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 A bit too old IMHO, and i still remember him as Martin Lannister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Monkey Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Honestly I think it'll work just fine. He'll have a little more gravitas than Robin ArrynIt's not possible to have less gravitas than Sweetrobin. Anyway, I'm not too bothered by the age thing. I can't think of any completely awful casting choices; even the ones that I thought could have been better were at least serviceable and most of them were pretty good.

ambi76 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Well, there are some rumors that Callum Wharry was acting like a pre-teenage ass (ad-libing etc.) on set, so this was an emergency recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the cast also regularly use the books to make a giant fire as they toast marshmallows and laugh about how they are destroying a great story. *sarcasm.

Bastard of Boston Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Disappointing. I really had an affinity for original Tommen based on Blackwater...not because his performance was amazing or anything, but because the kid is adorable. I'm not a kid person. If I can find someone adorable, it's usually some profound act of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilKing Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Great news, I hated the old Tommen. Every time I saw him I wanted to vomit my eyes out of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
