    You're definitely thinking of someone else. Ned's not physically imposing at all.

    The only person that's really ridiculously imposing is Gregor Clegane, aka The Mountain.

    And maybe Hodor.

    Robert Bartheon is 6' 5" and very...large. The character is also very imposing at certain points so I'm not sure how I like Mark Addy for that role but hopefully he can pull it off.

    Hodor!

    Sean Bean's certainly an interesting choice. I think he'll fit Ned well.

    I was hoping for Damien Lewis as Ned, but oh well.

    I hope at some point James Purefoy gets some sort of role. He was awesome as Marc Anthony in Rome.

    Liam Neeson should be Ned. Ice & Fire needs Obi-Wan training Rob and Jon

    So apparently Catlyn Stark has been cast.

    Jennifer Ehle, an actress I don't know, but I can't say that that's a bad thing. Pretty much every HBO series I've watched, they've done a great job casting people.

    She definitely has a lot of experience. Not to mention she was born about 20min from where I was, so she's gotta be made of win.

    I trust HBO on casting as well based on their track record.

    I was really excited about Sean Bean given he's played so many roles as both villain and hero, and this series is comprised of mostly "gray," characters.

    irony indeed

  15. #55

    So he's toying with us now.
    Yes, three more roles have been cast for the GAME OF THRONES pilot, as David Benioff and Dan Weiss announced over on Westeros.

    No, I can't tell you who they are. HBO will make the announcements in due time, I'm sure. When? I don't know. Tomorrow, next week, next month. They don't consult with me. As I write this, I am aware of five parts that have been cast but not yet announced, but there could well be more. Things are moving quickly now. And of course, casting a role is not just a matter of picking an actor. Even after you decide who you want, there are offers and counter-offers, contract negotiations, a whole delicate dance that goes on. It is never wise to leak things prematurely. Sometimes that can actually throw a monkey wrench into the process.

    I'm excited about the choices, though.

    What can I say? Not much.

    Maybe a few hints...

    The five roles... well, we have cast Jaime Lannister and Theon Greyjoy, I let that slip in Montreal... the three new ones are all females. A couple small roles, but very important ones. One player has something in common with Ned. One has something in common with Harry Potter. One is not a boney pop singer. Shows can get cancelled and so can characters, but two of them have been seen on American tv recently.

    And that's all you're getting from me, until HBO blows the trumpet.

    * Mood: mischievous



    That still leaves four adults you can try to figure out, though. And among the hundreds of theories and guesses, I've seen a couple of you getting it right... or coming close, riding the right theory to the wrong conclusion. So keep at it.

    In the absence of an announcement, I'll give you a few more clues. One cast member was played by a puppet. Another has been seen wandering a castle exclaiming about roses. A third is too good to be true. The fourth is the fifth. Esquire thinks one of them is hot.

    'Nuff said.

    And while you guys are chewing on those, off in London and New York and LA and Dublin, casting continues. They're reading for some smaller parts now: Gared, Ser Rodrik, Maester Luwin, and the like. Even for these "lesser" roles (you know the old chestnut, there are no small roles, only small actors), we're seeing some great readings. David, Dan, and Tom are going to have some tough decisions to make. Me, I'm going out for coffee and a danish.
    how's my copapasta lookin?

    It's in HBO's hands, so I wouldn't be too worried. Judging by the casting I think it will be rather successful. Probably pick up a lot fans that have no clue who George R. R. Martin is.

    A lot of the male actors being cast are a lot smaller than the characters they're supposed to be playing.

    I'd rather have a high quality actor than someone who looks a little bit more like what was described in the book. I've seen wayyyyy too many movies/shows go to pure shit b/c they cast some douchebag who looks perfect for the role, yet can't act to save their fucking lives.
