With
George R.R. Martin's announcement (as seen in
the original book thread) that the pilot has been approved for filming by HBO, let's start this off with some rampant speculation about good casting. I'm sure they'll actually go with mostly unknowns; the cast will be too large to have more than 1 or 2 known actors. But, this is FOFC, we make stuff up all the time.
EDIT:
Some key characters in A Game of Thrones:
- Lord Eddard Stark
- Lady Catelyn Stark
- Sansa Stark
- Arya Stark
- Bran Stark
- Jon Snow
- Tyrion Lannister
- Lord Tywin Lannister
- Jaime Lannister
- Daenerys Targaryen
- King Robert Baratheon
- Theon Greyjoy
- Robb Stark
- Myrcella Baratheon
- Tommen Baratheon
- Joffrey Baratheon
- Lysa Arryn
- Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
- Bronn
- Renly Baratheon
- Stannis Baratheon
- Maester Aemon
- Lord Command Mormont
- Khal Drogo
- Lord Jorah Mormont
- Viserys Targeryen
Shew. I'll stop there. Like I said, way too many characters to have big names.
