Just so no one fags up this thread, we know that a lot of these actors are too big/expensive to be cast on this show, but its about who we think would be the best and looks the most like we picture them. Not necessarily the most likely to get hired. Here were some mentioned before: Also I know Doc already started a thread that has casting in the title, but I figured that was for actual casting hiring and rumors, not just messing around like itt Asha - Emmy Rossum Craster - John Noble Stannis - Mark Strong Qhorin Halfhand - Ray Stevenson
Re: ITT We Cast the rest of the show Someone mentioned Robin Weigert as Brienne, I think she would do good, but she doesn't quite have the size
Re: ITT We Cast the rest of the show Who knows if they go with her actual size. Renly is an example of them switching things. Also this is interesting and I didn't want to start a new thread
Emmy Rossum would make a great Arya in about Book XXV, since she's only like 10 now. Edit: My bad...Read "Asha", saw "Arya". Put me on Team Emmy for Asha. If not her, then Sasha Grey. Not that she's a great fit, but Sasha Grey is so close to Asha Greyjoy, and doing nudity wouldn't be a problem.
Brienne is going to most likely be some random British chick nobody has ever heard of. Plus they won't ugly her up too much. Tyrion and Arya are both constantly described as ugly but they didn't try to ugly them up for the show
Arya isn't necessary ugly, but not as pretty as Sansa. I know they call her horseface, but they also say she looks like Lyanna.
For me the main characteristic in Brienne is that she has to look like she can kick butt. Yea she should be tall and ugly and all that but she has to be athletic enough so the viewer can believe that she can actually murk a few dudes with the sword
lets say screw what brienne actually looks like and cast gina carrano. at least the athletic/kick ass part would be fulfilled.
the actress will do a good job and i'll enjoy the character. im just saying if they really wanted to mimic the book they could have just gotten a guy Brienne is considered ugly, due to her height and build though Jaime notices that her eyes are pretty and they show her confidence in battle. She has large, very blue eyes that appear trusting and guileless, but they are her only attractive feature. She is taller and stronger than many men and is extremely broad-shouldered, but has virtually no bust. Her face is broad and coarse, with a nose that has been broken several times. Her mouth is too wide, with prominent and crooked teeth and lips so plump they seem swollen. Her hair is the color of dirty straw and her face is mottled with freckles.
sorry, she'll always be the harry potter teacher, cannot take her seriously as a GoT character as cool as QoT
