I wonder who Crook is playing... Vargo Hoat maybe? I can't take him as a serious character after his work on The Office and in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

Good God she is tall

 

[chamber-music]

I actually prefer Mackenzie Crook serious acting over his more comedic stuff. His a better dramatic actor than comedic one for me.

 

[Roose Bolton]

You'll find that most comedic actors are great at drama, they have that perfect sense of timing.

You know it's not a star wars battle because it looks like they're actually trying to kill each other.

Rumour is that Diana Rigg has been cast as the Queen of Thorns.

Legendary Actress Diana Rigg cast as Queen of Thorns according to Daily Mail:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...r-ahead-Spice-Girls-musical-Viva-Forever.html

Diana Rigg (pictured), who will play Olenna Redwyne, aka Queen of Thorns (because of her sharp-tongue and prickliness), the wily grandmother of Margaery Tyrell in the third season of the highly popular drama series Game Of Thrones, which will start shooting next month.

The actress will be a semi-regular character throughout the third series of the show, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s best-selling novels. Olenna is a powerful, domineering matriarch and queen, who’s a mistress of the art of manipulation.

The drama will be shown on Sky Atlantic.

I read that and I hope it's true, first a role in an episode of the new series of Doctor Who and now perhaps getting the role of Olenna, they're keeping casting announcements tight-lipped for the moment but hopefully they could confirm a few during the SDCC panel.

Did that description come from HBO? surprised they would use 'warg'.

 

[Boom]

They recast Beric?

 

[Crockett]

It's so cool they got Menzies as Edmure, he was fantastic as Brutus in Rome, and I'm pleased with the Reeds.

Did that description come from HBO? surprised they would use 'warg'.

I got it from EW's article but their source has to be from HBO.

They recast Beric?

Yeah but nothing that really concerns me, the former actor only appeared like in one episode and as far as I can recall barely had any lines.

 

[PWN3R]

Hot damn the Reeds are literally perfect. The casting on the show continues to knock it out of the ballpark with every selection.

 

[Sawyer]

Goddammit, GRRM, stop talking about boobies and tell us when Book 6 is coming!

 

[Marvolo]

Had no idea Brutus had been cast in the show.

Oh and GRRM has a serious problem with staying on task. If I was his publisher I would light a fire under his ass.

 

[Sawyer]

If he can't write a book under fear of burning alive, then he just can't write period.
