So I guess I missed the season 3 commentary it came from, but from what I was reading tonight the producers mentioned that Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Snow) was actually their #2 choice for the role of Jon Snow. That info kinda both surprised and saddened me.

Not that Kit has been terrible as Jon or anything (most of Jon's problem in the show come more from the directors overall), but he never really fit the role all that well for me and isn't a great actor. And Iwan on the other hand is an excellent actor with tremendous range.

I know Kit has his fans, but am I alone in thinking Iwan would have made a much better Jon Snow?

To be fair Jon Snow is a pretty bland role, especially compare to Ramsay

Not saying that you're wrong, but even in the source material Jon Snow's baseline emotion is either sullen or bitter. Not a whole lot to work with if you're an actor

Iwan, IMO, still doesn't fit my idea of Ramsey at all...especially physical description from the text...but I can abide him in that role a lot easier than as Jon Snow.

Michael Pitt is Ramsey, in my mind. The psychotic look should be a natural expression, not forced.
