Ok, it's been too long since I read it then and I was mixing up stuff from Wiki..
Based on wiki he killed Aerys at 17.

Also bear in mind that I think Martin bases the ages of his characters more on the examples from our medieval period, where you could go off to war in your mid-teens, you'd be at the pinnacle of your profession around 30, and if you were 50+ you were really old. Since modern "older" actors look better (and younger) than they ever have, the idea of casting a 50-year-old as a 35-year-old isn't a huge stretch.

This should be a pretty large production but my guess is that most of the actors will be small/unknown names for money reasons. There should be a few recognizable faces but not many.

i think the character of arya will be the toughest/most interesting to cast. she's the character that (to date at least) has the most varied experiences and undergoes the most huge changes and shifts. will take an actress who's younger but with a lot of range.

Though thinking about this, Robin Weigert, who is NOT an ugly woman, uglied up pretty good to play Calamity Jane in "Deadwood". She'd be perfect, IMO.

Jennifer Ehle to play Catelyn Stark. Good choice IMHO. She was great in Pride and Prejudice (not the zombie version).

A very good choice. Lady H_B loves that BBC "Pride & Prejudice." She's watched it multiple times and it's like 5+ hours long. When I broke the news that Elizabeth Bennet would be playing Catelyn Stark, she replied: "Ugh, it will be annoying to have to hate her."

The book done?......Ah, more TV stuff don't care until he finished the book series. I mean would you watch a series on TV Knowing it would end in a cliffhanger that is never finished or resolved? I suppose someone could finish Martins books ala Wheel of Time for him after he croaks which unfortunately may not be far off from the looks of him lately.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime
 Never seen the guy before, but the name rings vaguely familiar Edit: oh, he's Danish - that probably explains it

I've only heard of him because the wife and I watched New Amsterdam. Personally, I don't think he's 'pretty' enough, but hopefully he can pull it off...

He also looks a bit old for Jaime. Jaime can't be older than 25 in AGOT, this guy looks like he's in his late thirties.

He is a bit old, but all of the cast seems to be a bit older than the characters actual ages in the book. When AGOT starts Jaime is about 31-32 or so. The actor is 39.

I thought Jaime wasn't older than 17 when he killed the old King in Robert's Rebellion. There were 15 years between Robert's victory and his death? I though Dany was a young child when her father was killed and she was 14ish when AGOT tokes place?

Just saw GRRM's latest post about Arya and Sansa. Sansa matches my mental image of her almost perfectly, Arya's pretty close (I imagined her hair a bit different).

I've always pictured Arya with a much longer face, so this girl isn't quite "perfect" as far as my mental image of the character.
Sansa and Dany are spot-on perfect though. I've also come to think the new Jaime will be a good fit.

Some more casting news...
They've casted Lena Headey, of "300" and "Sarah Connor Chronicles" fame, as Cersei Lannister. That's another "big name", so that's good. As to whether she can pull it off... I never really saw Cersei being as fit and lean as Lena Headey. I always imagined Cersei and slender, yet soft; not so much slender and chiseled. That said, I do think Lena's hot and all that is just quibbling. As to whether she's a great actress... She was "ok" in both 300 and Terminator. She wasn't the best part of Terminator, but I don't think the role of Sarah Connor is really all that rewarding. She pretty much has to be tough, somewhat distant, paranoid, and highly over protective of her son. Even in her role in 300 she played the sort of tough, stoic queen. I've never really seen Lena even try to play seductive (and stupid) before. Sometimes actors can surprise. For example, the guy who played McNulty on The Wire (Dominic West) was the bad Spartan (who Leda killed) in 300 and the bad guy in the latest Punisher movie. He was pretty awful in both movies, but simply rocked as McNulty. He was awesome. Sometimes folks just fit a role. Maybe the reason Leda came off as a bit stiff in 300 and Terminator was because was born to play a seductress like Cersei. I always felt like the tall, blonde Cylon chick from BSG would have been the best choice for Cersei. I know she can do seductive. They also filled the role of The Hound. He's being played by a Scottish guy, Rory McCann. You can check him out on imdb. He was the guy in "Hot Fuzz" who just said "yarp" and was in "Alexander." I think can look the part and definitely can pull it off physically. He's 6'6".

Give her some golden hair and I think she is hot enough to pull it off. Despite being a fan of both 300 and Sarah Connor, I didn't think she particularly excelled in either role, so perhaps she was really born to play a more Cerseiesque character than a tough-as-nails character. The more I think on it, the more I like it. Besides, I think, in most cases (not all), it's really tough to judge without actually seeing the actor/actress perform the role.

I always see Cersei as having big ass titties and a heart-shaped ass, so this doesn't work for me.
Sorry. I meant "ample bosoms", and "buttocks", not ass.

Also, if I recall, I don't think she's ever described as being buxom, voluptuous or excessively be-tittied.

No, not really. I think he's definitely involved and, therefore, probably distracted by it, but if it wasn't casting it'd be some convention, toy knights, the start of the NFL season, some anthology he's editing, etc.
