I understand, though. Every time I read GRRM nattering about football or working on Wild Cards or whatever I feel like yelling "SIT DOWN AND WORK ON WINDS OF WINTER!" but it wouldn't do any good.

I didn't see Tara Fitzgerald as Stannis' wife and Tobias Menzies (Brutus on Rome) in that video. Might have missed it though.

At least with Selyse, I figure it's because no one cares about her, esp. not with Stannis getting his hump on with Melisandre now.

Nothing cracks a turtle like Leeeon Uris (Leee), Saturday, 14 July 2012 23:02 (thirteen years ago)

Thought she was a bit of a 'name' to be put into a thankless role but i'm probably inflating how much late 90s working class British dramedies have been retained in the public consciousness.

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Saturday, 14 July 2012 23:07 (thirteen years ago)

Selyse is supposed to be pretty fug so I was surprised to see that they cast Tara Fitzgerald.

Tyrion is supposed to be ugly too, didn't stop them from casting Dinklage

Won't be a problem.

I think he would be a decent Ramsay Bolton.

LISTEN TO THIS BRAD (Nicole), Saturday, 21 July 2012 03:39 (thirteen years ago)

I think so too, but think he's too attractive. Ramsay should be hideous.

gyac, Saturday, 21 July 2012 18:45 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, he holds the extraordinary distinction of being the most disgusting man in Westeros.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Sunday, 22 July 2012 01:02 (thirteen years ago)

he was Simon on Misfits! so he can do creepy/disgusting really well.

Only on the inside! xp

Started this.

The more I watch of Game of Thrones, the more I want the entire crew to do an Napoleonic epic, like a Sharpe or Hornblower story with a proper budget.

Ciaran Hinds is Mance Rayder.

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Friday, 17 August 2012 15:43 (thirteen years ago)

Interesting choice. On the one hand it's cool because he's a great actor. On the other, he seems a bit too old and serious for Mance.

Moodles, Friday, 17 August 2012 15:45 (thirteen years ago)

omg <3 Ciaran Hinds

Is Mance Rayder the king beyond The Wall?

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Friday, 17 August 2012 17:27 (thirteen years ago)

yep

always pictured Mance as a more rakish chap. Rather him than Dominic West (who apparently turned it down) though

Number None, Friday, 17 August 2012 18:08 (thirteen years ago)

aw, i woulda liked to have dominic west on this show

NEWSWIRE
Game Of Thrones finally cast its Mance Rayder, so we're pretty sure that's all the characters now

By Sean O'Neal August 17, 2012

After casting the entire population of the United Kingdom in other, non-Mance Rayder roles, Game Of Thrones has finally decided who will play the already-legendary King Beyond The Wall, whose name strikes fear in the hearts of easily upset fans reading Internet casting rumors. According to Entertainment Weekly, it's Ciarán Hinds, the Irish actor whose film credits include turns in Munich, There Will Be Blood, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, although he is perhaps best known to HBO viewers for playing Julius Caesar on Rome, which was another sweeping, expensive, swords-and-sandals drama that didn't have enough dragons, and so it was canceled, despite its similarly rampant nudity. Hinds will likely fare much better here, provided everyone can get past his recent turn as a Bill Clinton cartoon on Political Animals.

Anyway, this likely brings an end to Game Of Thrones casting news, unless George R.R. Martin created any more characters than that. It's been fun, everybody! Drop the banner and the balloons and let's shut it down.

I don't think there has been nearly enough appreciation of Leee's JPG

By the gods, old and new, I wish that pic was my creation.
