    The Mance casting is horrible,even though he is a fantastic actor. Totally changes the feel of the character. It's not an accident that readers view him as youngish even though he is not a young character. Dude is a great actor and he'll make it work in a sense,but it is still very weird.

    Mance is older. I'm sure Hinds will play it well.

    Always pictured Mance in in his 40s, Hinds looks closer to 60. But they've pretty much nailed the casting so far, so I have faith that it'll work out.

    I never really put together a prefect Mance in my head, but it certainly wasn't him.

    As to Mance... I think maybe the headshot of that actor may be a bit deceiving. I hope. He looks like a goofy, old guy. Here is another pic:

    From the Wiki:
    Mance is a big man, long legged and lean, broad in the chest and shoulders. His once long brown hair is now gone mostly grey, laughter lines appear at the corner of his mouth. [1] He has a sharp face and shrewd brown eyes.[2] He is an unremarkable-looking man in his middle years, with a fondness for music.

    Can link on my phone but Daario and Grey Worm have been cast. Daario is much whiter than I expected but looks hateable enough

    Grey Worm is a eunuch with no facial hair.

    Daario looks pretty much like I thought he would, except with a crazy blue beard.

    Lets just be honest. We're all going to hate Daario no matter who plays him.

    I guess since the actress who plays Missandei is black and her brothers both became Unsullied it makes sense. I assume there will be some white Unsullied as well though.

    Yea the Unsullied should be pretty multicultural. I also pictures Daario as more middle eastern though.

    I agree with Verbal, I didn't picture Daario as a white guy. But once he goes through makeup, wardrobe, etc. he'll fit the part.

    He has the perfect amount of swagger to be Mance.

    Any one who thought Daario looked anything different than Ren from Pirates of Dark Water is wrong. :crossedarms:
