I love Melissandre, Stannis might need a haircut but i can definitely see it.
Very nice on all three!
Cool. The actor they cast for Stannis was good in the John Adams series, and judging from my googling he grow a good Baratheon bear. I think he can pull off the drained look he’s so often described with.
Yeah, they all have the look. That’s a bad picture of the Melisandre actress though, I think. A quick GIS shows she’s smoking.
I have a ton of faith in the casting people after the first season.
Yeah, the eye makeup on Melisandre’s actress is weird. Should be awesome, though. And what a timely thread; I’ve been wondering about these very characters for the past few days now.
I’m a bit concerned about how young the pick for Stannis looks. He’s my mom’s age, and older than Mark Addy, but he doesn’t really look it. I was surprised during John Adams that he was as old as he is, and he hasn’t aged a lot since then.
I think Melisandre is one of the weakest characters in the book and comes off as a cliche from sword-and-sorcery pulp fantasy. I hope the HBO writers make her more interesting and it will certainly help to have a good actress. This one certainly looks the part.
Stannis is younger than Robert, so he shouldn’t look THAT old.
I’ll admit that the actor for Davos looks older than I would have expected.
Agreed.

Davos has sons old enough to captain ships, so he can’t be all that young.
All of these picks are highly satisfactory IMHO.
Yup, they all look good to me. The casting director should get an Emmy for GOT season 1 anyway.
