Re-cast the actors!

Sleepy · 20-02-2012 11:38AM #1

Anyone else look at some of the actors in this and think they'd be great in something else?

For me, I'm thinking Maisie Williams who plays Arya could make a great Vin if they ever film Mistborn. If they put it into pre-production now, she'd be the right age by the time it started shooting!

MitchKoobski · 20-02-2012 11:46AM

Even without seeing an episode for season 2 yet, I wanted Mark Strong or Liam Cunningham for Stannis.

Revolution9 · 20-02-2012 06:35PM

When I heard Liam Cunnigham was cast I just presumed he would be Stannis.

Gauge · 20-02-2012 08:21PM

I wanted Mark Strong for Stannis as well...

I'm unsure if he's done it before, but I think Sean Bean would be fairly decent as some kind of a sword wielding badass.

:pac:

I dunno He's done Swords now, maybe something with Muskets, they could set it during the Napoleonic wars, that'd satisfy the Swordy people too

Cunningham is perfectly cast as Davos imo.

Red Hand · 26-02-2012 12:47AM

Alan Rickman as Stannis.

Brendan Gleeson as Varys.

A young Brian Blessed as Robert.

would totally agree with the underlined

Tzar Chasm · 26-02-2012 02:46AM

couldnt see Rickman as stanis, Stanis is a dour charmless and devoid of any real charisma IMO he's not an exciting or spirited character he's all about his sense of entitlement to the throne and some bizzare notion of duty and honour

Rickman has played too many interesting characters for that not to be on yer mind watching

hattoncracker · 26-02-2012 02:53AM

Salma Hayek as the red witch. ;-)

Dunno, the red queen I see the trailers is fairly close to what I had imagined

Have they cast the sandsnakes yet????

PhlegmyMoses · 26-02-2012 04:59PM

Robert Carlyle as Roose Bolton would have been good.

Sleepy · 26-02-2012 09:45PM

A young Alan Rickman would have made a great Littlefinger.

At his current age, he'd make a great Mance Rayder.

Pepe LeFrits · 26-02-2012 10:43PM

Ethnicity might be an issue but I actually think Rickman would make a good Doran Martell.

Tzar Chasm · 26-02-2012 11:08PM

what is the ethnicity of the Dornish tho??

Dark skinned I thought.

Tzar Chasm · 26-02-2012 11:29PM

isnt that the Summer Islanders tho, I thought the Dornish were 'Sallow' like Southern Europeans

Mayhaps. I know the summer islanders are, but I really can't remember specifics about Dornishmen, apart from the fact that it's bloody hot there. I took a punt, perhaps wrongly.

Pepe LeFrits · 26-02-2012 11:38PM

The Dornish are meant to vary in appearance, some being sort of Greek-like with olive skin and dark eyes and hair, while others are comparatively fair.

Tzar Chasm · 27-02-2012 12:38AM

found this on aWiki of Ice and fire

According to King Daeron I, observations during his wars in Dorne, there are three group of Dornishmen:
salty Dornishmen, who live along the coasts, lithe and dark with smooth olive skin and long black hair.

sandy Dornishmen who live in the deserts and the long river valleys, who are even darker, faces burned brown by the hot Dornish sun.

stony Dornishmen who live in the passes and heights of the Red Mountains, the biggest and fairest, sons of the Andals and the First Men, brown-haired or blond with faces that freckled or burned in the sun.

Additionally, another group exist the Greenblood orphans, who ply the Greenblood in poleboats.

The Dornish are a mixed race of WestrosiAndal and Rhoyneish invaders
one would expect the Royals to be Salty, so Salma Hayek would be perfect for one of the older Sandsnakes

As soon as I saw Ned Stark I instantly thought 'Will Smith'.

Sean Bean did do an excellent job mind.

Will Smith...are you for real?

I loved the series but hated knowing that Ned Stark was going to be killed..bye bye Sean Bean

pat25c · 25-03-2012 11:55PM

i think Colin Farrell would make a great ramsey snow (bolton), he can do evil bastard very well

brendan gleeson as mance rayder

colin meaney as mance tyrell

I'm still holding out for Will Smith as Rhaegar in a flashback scene. Perfect!

If Brendan Gleeson joined the show I'd be done for, he's one of my favourite actors. I'm already spoiled with Aiden Gillen and (soon) Liam Cunningham, Brendan Gleeson would just be amazing.

I don't know who I'd cast for Ramsay Bolton, I see a lot of attractive actors bandied about but I always pictured him as an ugly.. well, b*stard.

Personally I'd like Naveen Andrews for the Red Viper, and reading the books I couldn't help imagining Maggie Smith as the Queen of Thorns.

Great suggestions. Can't imagine them getting Maggie Smith with her already doing Downton Abbey though!

Son0vagun · 26-03-2012 02:42PM

Aidan Turner for Ramsey Snow.

But surely Snow has already been cast for season two!

i didnt even think of aidan turner , but ya , good thinking , or andrew scott he does look a bit like Micheal McElhatton who is playing roose bolton

Melted · 29-03-2012 06:02PM

I could see Malcom McDowell For Roose bolton and for Stannis id like to see either Jeremy Irons or Liam Neeson

altough come to think of it they could be to old but they would be good for other chartacters!

podgemonster · 30-03-2012 12:00PM

Liam Neeson as Lord Beric, Colm Meaney as Meryln Trant, Brendan Gleeson as Shagga!

I think Cunningham is perfectly cast!

Re-cast the actors!
