Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jamie Lannister

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is cast as Jaime Lannister in the HBO production Game of Thrones, a role I am sure he is suited to with his good looks, charm, smooth acting skills and the feeling of everything is just too good that he gives off.
Jamie as a character is not the typical ‘knight in shining armour’ [...]

Kit Harington as Jon Snow

Kit Harington is definitely one of the UK up and coming theatre actors, and his role of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones definitely sets him up for a strong move over into TV and film.
Kit has done little TV and film work to date, but has one theatre credit to his name which is [...]

Jennifer Ehle as Catelyn Stark

Ok the first piece of the casting for Game of Thrones which I have just thought is wrong, im not a casting director so I may have this really wrong, I also have nothing against Jennifer Ehle who is a very fine actress, but she just the seems the wrong person for the role.
I find [...]

Joseph Mawle as Benjen Stark

Even though it is only going to be for one episode the inclusion of Joseph Mawle as Benjen Stark in the Game of Thrones cast just shows the level of quality which has been sought out for all the parts.
Joseph is one of the quality up and coming actors in the UK at the moment, [...]

Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy

The actor cast to play Theon Greyjoy is Alfie’s Allen or Alfie Owen-Allen, his greatest claim to fame at the moment is his family, he is the younger brother of singer song writer Lilly Allen, the son of Keith Allen who is kind of hard to define but a British actor/musician/celebrity/hell raiser, and Alison Owen [...]

Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo

Jason Momoa was the last major member of the Game of Thrones cast, announced, only a few days before filming began, he play the part of Khal Drogo.
Recently being best known for his work as Ronan Dex in Stargate Atlantis in which he receives much acclaim even from people who don’t love the show. However [...]

Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister

As stated in one of previous posts I think the greatest acting challenge in Game of Thrones is going to fall to Peter Dinklage. Tyrion Lannister is probably the most central characters to the story as it continues beyond the Pilot, and being a frank having a dwarf taker a central lead, in a serious [...]

Esme Bianco – Chat Transcript

Ok I have editted down the transcript of Livecloud chat with Esme, by tyring to make it linear, cutting out repeated stuff and chaff, and focusing only on Game of Thrones  related stuff. If anyone feels mortified I have done this and it upsets them let me know.
For those who dont know Esme is playing [...]

Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon

Mark Addy is an actor I really like and much admire, but probably not my first choice for the role of Robert Baratheon in Gamwe of Thrones, in my minds eye he is has just played to many nice guys to be convincing in the role.
Mark’s roles that stand out in my mind are [...]

Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen

Harry comes to the show on the back of the great success of appearing in the first two series of  the BBC show Robin Hood in the role of Will Scarlet. However he has great pedigree of being involved in some really good projects before that point.
He will be taking the role of  Viserys Targaryen, [...]
