I'm surprised Curran had to audition. I think his body of work is sufficient to just offer him a role.

He'd make a good Davos, IMO.

Slightly off topic - but a website decided to mix dialogue from Arrested Development with pictures from Thrones. Some of these are pretty good: http://arrestedwesteros.tumblr.com/

Judging by the filename of that image, I guess they worked on Red Riding Hood? Anything else in their portfolio we'd know?

Your comment was so concise, I can't tell if "that's all that needs to be said" or if it's more "shit, not these guys". That wolf looks fine in a still to me.

Sorry guys, that was just someone's best thoughts on who the new FX house would be, they sourced a article, but the article didn't actually mention a speciic FX house.

Horrible. I guess they didn't get the memo that 98% of the biggest cast in HBO history was European and the couple of Americans they did use were very special circumstances.

Most of those listed are english/Irish.

Christina Hendricks would be for those special circumstances, agree about Acker though. Everyone else is british/irish.

Its not that special. The UK/Ireland/Western Europe probably has a very high % of red headed actresses to pick from. She is just a big boned internet darling right now.

Really though it doesn't even have to be a red head that plays her. Mel is not a normal ginger and her hair is not a natural red.

Jamie Campbell Bower was such an awesome actor that they would be crazy if they didn't snatch him up for some role.

James Purefoy for some role?

From Collider:



With your previous history with HBO, and a lot of your fans really hoping for it, would you ever consider doing a role on Game of Thrones?

PUREFOY: If it was the right role on Game of Thrones, definitely. Of course! It’s a terrific series. It’s a great series of books. I love HBO. I’m on record saying that HBO is the best television company in the world, and I believe they are. I think they absolutely understand how to make television that is really, really vital and interesting and visceral, and all the things that television really should be. I’m a big fan of HBO.

I always pictured the Red Viper as taller, thinner, and almost more lithe. I'd love to see him as Stannis actually.

That would be a complete waste unless they completely change the character. Stannis has all the charm and personality of a dead fish.
