I love it when the actors come round and say hi or at least say that they lurk on occasion so if any of them are reading this post I say hi now go make us proud to obsess about you in a semi-unhealthy manner, we will have someone following you everywhere you go in a bit. If you do not receive you official WiC stalker call this number 555-6495 and one will be provided withing two business days.

The only role I am even remotely unhappy about the casting is Jerome Flynn. He is just too old in my opinion and not at all how I saw Bronn looking in the books actually I think that the new guy playing Gared looks closer at least in that picture. Of course all we can do at this point is just trust in D&D, GRRM, and Nina Gold and hope for the best. That said I think that the majority of the cast is great, Katie Dickie is a little on the skinny side but as someone pointed out Psychosis can manifest in many different ways and who says that for the series she can’t have done something like stopped eating and focused only on Sweetrobin who looks like he really is sickly (I think it's his head, it looks really big). I hope the guy they have for Hugh of the Vale knows what he's in for, good luck Conan. Pyp is perfect he even comes with big sticky-outie ears. To parrot someone up thread Mycah doesn't look too fast, but on an original note I would love to hear a story from Margaret John, she looks like my grandma. And am I the only one hoping for a scene where Sam has to help Maester Aemon on to the toilet and he gets shit all over his hands. That would be funny as hell. My brother and I were joking that it was a good thing they didn't get the American Death at a funeral equivalent of Uncle Alfi, just think about how weird it would be if Sam was being trained in the Maesterly Arts by Danny Glover. O_o

Just found an article from digitalspy.com about Aidan Gillen talking about playing villains and how Americans don't like to do it. http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/news/a243768/gillen-...

what about David Kelly. he is much closer to my mental image of Aemon. And if you've ever seen Waking Ned Devine which is one of my all time favorite movies he is a good actor. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0446303/

As cool as it would be to see John Lithgow in the show I highly doubt he would be cast as Varys. I think he is a little on the tall side and he is American.

I giggled a little when I read that thinking she has no Idea the amount of scenes she has with Dinklage.

It would be somewhat like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-c4U6XRtvc but with a 7 foot tall monster with armor and a great sword instead of a ninja.

Is it weird that I've been watching his Cooking with Conan videos for the last hour and all I can think of is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-c4U6XRtvc just with Gregor in his massive armor and great sword.But the Cooking with Conan videos are really cool. Going to have to try some of these recipes.

This is awesome. It really shows that persistence pays off and that the producers are actually conisdering our opinions when doing the casting.

After seeing the pictures Milan posted I think that he just needs to be a bit more chunky to fit Sam to a T. To bad I'm not British and cant act very well, not only would I be age appropriate but I'm also obese. :D

I hope he isn't just a bit pudgy because being fat is a major part of his character because brings the fact that he is a softhearted person to the surface, but I also don't want him to be huge because then I just kind of feel that he would be completely ridiculed as the fat guy who was a pussy.
