Maybe I am being unfair because I've only seen the promos for it, but that's what it seemed like.

Melisandre will be payed by Carice Van Outen and Stannis will be played by Stephen Dillane.

have they cast Davos yet? he seems like the best candidate for a "bigger" name actor out of the new main characters

i don't think i spoiled anything by simply naming a new character?! we've been talking about season 2 casting for the last 10000 posts
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
not saying anyone spoiled anything! just, you know, be mindful of stuff

was that directed at me? i haven't read anything either! i just assumed a big name would be more prone to getting killed.i'm pretty much expecting minor spoilage on this thread at this point. and with my memory i'm going to have forgotten anything said here by 2016 when season 2 comes out.

Well, I had Books 2 & 3 in paperback, but I'm afeared my copy of Book 4 is HC.

if a film ever gets made of The Wasp Factory the kid that plays Joffrey needs to be cast as Frank.

these new castings are cool. stannis guy is great. melisandre would ideally have been a little older maybe.

i am obv talking purely about physical appearance. i have no idea if these folx can act worth shit.
carice van houten can act her ass off. she was great in the mega underrated Black Book

What happened to Alan Rickman? I thought he was all super-rumored to be cast as Stannis. Or maybe that was another character?
― She Got the Shakes, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 10:57 (twelve years ago) link
alan rickman was never in the conversation - you're probably just thinking of some fan speculation. he's got other shit to do, and besides that he's like 20 years older than mark addy (stannis' older brother on the show)
― DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO BLOODSHED (Princess TamTam), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:10 (twelve years ago) link
i don't really understand what it is with alan rickman and americans of a certain persuasion
