I remember him from Snatch. He was Errol.

I was wondering about stuff like that. How they cast people for what appeared to be bit parts for season one, but then end up being fairly major players (at least for a point) later.

Interview with Weiss and Benioff

Nothing really groundbreaking but they do mention, that if they make it past this season, that book 3 will be more than 1 season.

Sets up for potentially a fantastic ending episode in season 3 and opening episode of season 4.

God I hope we make it that far.

I know, I was thinking though if they split book into 2 seasons this will be a very long and probably expensive series. Here's to hoping they can finish it off and do it the right way.

I'm happy about this. The Rorge in the prison wagon didn't look Rorge-y enough.

GRRM dropped another clue.


Cage Match Pairings

Pirate and Bully.
Dead Man and Barman.
Corporal and Potato.
Gash and Nark.
And let's all be grateful, the big dog didn't get bitten.
It looks like it's Rorge and Biter. Rorge is already out there, but that they're re-casting Biter is new.

Someone posted this on youtube. They're shooting the scene where Davos takes Melisandre to the spot under Storm's End.

Far too late, but I would have nominated Alison Pill (Queen Maude in Pillars of the Earth) for either Margery Tyrell or Jayne Westerling. Pill is only a few years younger than Natalie Dormer, but she still looks like a teen (baby face, petite). And she looked great in chain mail, robes, etc., so she definitely has the period look down. I liked Dormer in The Tudors, but she appears a bit old for the role.

Of course, actors are replaced (sometimes at the last minute or even after filming has begun...as was the case with Lady Cat Stark after the pilot was filmed).

New clue from GRRM


Don't, Don't, Don't

Elmo is a fibber and a drubber and a jock. He's whispered to horses and conversed with dogs. A diamond in the rough, he is, but no pinhead.
Pretty sure this is for Ser Dontos Hollard. "Don't, don't" is what Sansa yells when Joffrey has him beaten and Ygritte and Dontos are the only two characters that are known to have casting calls out that haven't been cast.

MrX 09-06-11 02:24 AM

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
 
I was wrong

It's Anthony Morris, who I can't find a picture of, playing the Tickler

Fintan McKeown is Ser Amory Lorch

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,314_.jpg

Conan Stevens is still shooting The Hobbit and won't return so Ian Whyte is taking over the role of Ser Gregor Clegane (aka The Mountain)
Whyte was actually in the pilot episode playing a white walker.

http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbn...302_SY432_.jpg

For those wondering, he's 7'1.

I'm beginning to think we won't see any Tullys or the Reeds this season. The producers have talked about how much they love Natalia Tena so I could see them
Spoiler:
sending Osha off with Hodor and Bran instead of pairing her with Rickon. If they're going to ignore the warg aspect of the kids then they really don't need Jojen anyway

^^^ Neil also directed "Centurion," a little-seen but bad-ass action flick that takes place in Roman times (think "Gladiator" on a shoe string budget but still spectacular). He's perfect for "GOT," hopefully they'll give him an action-packed episode to direct (it's what his movies excel at).

How much was Gregor in CoK? Hint: Not that much. They're doing weird things with the timelime and narrative here.

BTW: I'm up to A Feast of Crows finally :banana:

Random GoT related comment not related to casting (this being the only active GoT thread).

Noticed a friend of a facebook friend with a name that caught my eye: Daenerys Taragrin. I wonder how tired she is of hearing "Is that your real name?"

From a set report, sounds like there will be a slight change from the book at Harrenhal. I assume to give Charles Dance some more screen time.

Spoiler:
Arya will be Tywin's cup-bearer and she'll start talking to Jaqen at that point.
