I find it even funnier that our Loras was using cologne for months that he didn't realize was actually ladies perfume.

You know, especially when you consider all of the Sharpe films, he still survives in the vast majority of his movies. But I guess he's had some particularly memorable screen deaths in especially well known films, hence the reputation.

I prefer Cleganstein.

I didn't realize how old this thread was when I replied to it. I saw some of the posts below on the side-bar and jumped to them.

No, not really. The casting directors and their people don't have the time to bother with watching 1000 random videos.

Step 1: Casting Directors call you in either based solely on your head shot/bio or if your agent has a good relationship with them they might do it based just on that, or if they've seen you in the past and think you might have potential for the part.

Step 2: they have you read and put your reading on video. If they like your reading, they send your video either to the main casting agent or to the producers/director/etc. Since casting for this show has been a global search, and time is of the essence, videos now get posted to sites on the internet rather than being physically sent via FedEx, like you had to do when I was still in the business.

In some cases, the casting directors might be asking the actors' agents to send in their own video readings for actors they want to see for various reasons of convenience (i.e., the actor is in Los Angeles and Nina Gold is in London probably the most common reason). This is really less ideal for the actors as they can't interact directly with the main casting people, maybe get a few suggestions and do second or third readings based on that, but still it's better than not being seen at all. We know some actors' videos were being posted by their own agents (I remember one or two were on the personal account of an agency assistant at William Morris/Endeavor). But I am quite certain that the reason these actors were even getting the chance to have their video seen was because they were requested by the casting directors, or their agents worked their relationships and "got them in the room," even if only virtually.

Eva Green is playing Morgana in Starz's rival show about King Arthur.

I'm actually quite surprised she's even doing TV, but there it is. If she were going to do Games it would have had to have been in one of the lead roles - a Cersei-sized role (though she's too young still, even though she can play older due to her bearing, I think).

There was a group that found the Westeros boards that do full-contact jousting, like at Ren Fairs and such. They wanted to get in touch with the producers of the show and were hoping we could help - they wanted to be involved. They posted links to some of their shows and it was really impressive stuff. Full-on jousting, no-holds-barred. Looked terribly dangerous.

I wonder if those guys ever got in touch with Dan & Dave or if they were eventually hired. I can't even find their topic about it anymore and have heard nothing since.

I think you might have just got them fired...

I imagine the Tourney being one entire episode, more-or-less, along with some side stuff and probably a 10 to 20 minutes of Dany stuff, as well.

Somehow I misread your post. I thought it said Dance wasn't imposing...dunno what I was thinking.
