ASOIAF casting

[liaku]

So for those of you that don't know (ie, everybody that's got me friended that likely doesn't care), HBO has greenlighted a pilot for A Song of Ice and Fire, which is only my favoritest fantasy series ever. Actually, it's probably my favorite series of anything regardless of genre or medium.

I know most of the people over at westerosorting don't really frequent Ran's board, but I do, mostly because I play mafia there. Anyway, there's this guy (a stage actor in NY) who's been trying to get himself casted. Iirc, he said he'd be happy if he landed a role as one of Craster's wives. Anyway, I thought he was alright until today where I finally bothered to check out the newer audition clip he's posted up on youtube. I got floored.

A Philip monologue from Lion in the Winter:

So yeah. I just wanted to post the vid since it's pretty awesome and say that I fully hope they give him a legit audition if not an actual role. I'd love to see him as Theon or Jon, though I think Waymar would be a likelier bet if he were to have a named character.

Oh. Haha. I just realized it was A Lion in Winter. Mr. Krauss showed it to us in Medi History. But I missed the days when they were playing the Richard/Phillip parts. D:

Hey girl, this is quite interesting news indeed! Can't watch the video, as I'm at work, but that ASOIAF will actually be screened after all is indeed something excellent to start your day with ;-)!

Philip! Oh, I love that scene *loves* He's pretty good, yeah!

I must've missed this on the board when I was checking out all the Peter Dinklage clips they kept posting.

Ohhh, he is good. For some reason, he seems like he'd be especially awesome as a villainous sort, but I suppose he's too young for the likes of Petyr.
