Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans as the Cleganes.
Emma Stone as Sansa.
Sean Bean as Ned.
Don Cheadle as Davos’ pirate friend (I forget his name).
John McGinley as Littlefinger.
Its not like they snatched him out of Danish dinner theater. He was already working in Hollywood. He was the star of his own American network TV show (New Amsterdam). I liked his show and was sorry to see it cancelled.
Oh yeah! I thought I recognized Jaime from ER but that’s a totally different guy (I was thinking of the Serbian-- or Bosnian-- actor who was the other hot guy that wasn’t Noah Wiley). I liked New Amsterdam too.
I’d see Tchéky Karyo as Stannis, myself.
He’s only got one persona : antisocial, bitter, bored-out-of-his-skull guy who can’t believe whoever’s speaking to him was *dumb *enough to say what they just said. Then goes on an exasperated rant.
That’s pure Stannis.
Or even just Chris and Liam Hemsworth, for the real-life-brothers congruity.
This IS brilliant!
Julian Sands or Ralph Fiennes are the only other actors I could see playing Tywin (Sands would have made a lovely Jaime, in his youth).
I’d make him Roose Bolton.
Hodor
Declan
Michael Fassbender or Dominic West as Jaime
Charleze Theron would make a good Cersie
Gary Oldman as…well anyone. He could be in the show already and I wouldn’t recognize him. He’s that damn good.
Stannis is and always will be Jeremy Irons. It is known. Not sure if he’s A list or whatever, but he’s Stannis. Period.
Worst part of that idea is that we all know he would accept the role.
