A local radio show said Cillian Murphy has been meeting with the producers.

Cillian Murphy


I'm really blanking on thinking of a character he would play. I could never really picture in my head what the Qartheens looked like. Maybe he'd play the rich merchant.

ETA: Maybe he'd be be Jaqen H'ghar. They distinctly covered his face when Arya passed by the caged cart.

I'm having no problem picturing what Dany would look like dressed in the Quartheen fashion.

Yeah, I was struggling as well. Some of the speculation by the DJ's was Jaqen H'ghar or Davos Seaworth

no way this happens, imo. while I bet the success and quality of GOT will attract some bigger names, just can't see them being able to afford someone like Murphy for multiple seasons. Would rather them find a cheaper quality actor and put more money towards some of the effects that are gonna be needed for the second season.

I'm thinking the same thing, although the Jaquen H'ghar character would not really be that big of a commitment on the part of the actor.

The Gerard Butler rumor came form someone editing the IMDB page for the show and listing Butler as playing Stannis.

Nataline Dormer is a mixed bag. She can be incredibly hot and incredibly cold, but then a lot of the time, she just reminds me of The Church Lady, particularly due to the small, twisted shapes her mouth takes. It can be distracting. She can also do this wider half-curled smile that reminds me of Alex from "A Clockwork Orange".

Another actress with an interesting face is Jennifer Carpenter.

Jaqen (which I can see Murphy playing easily), would only be a single season role (With Murphy as the actor)

They will have to change the actors by the end of the season.
