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:
