So, since my last post about HBO's cast for the Game of Thrones pilot the eggshell dam that held back all the exciting news has been shattered by the Hollywood reporter. They officially announced what GRRM has been hinting and anti-hinting about for days. Seven of the lead roles have been cast so far and the picks look pretty impressive from where I'm sitting.
The roles and actors cast are as follows:
Ser Jorah Mormont - Iain Glen
Jaime Lannister - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Robb Stark - Richard Madden
Theon Greyjoy - Alfie Allen
Daenerys Targaryen - Tamzin Merchant
Sansa Stark - Sophie Turner
Arya Stark - Maisie Williams
The last two are young and relatively unknown actresses, although there is another actress named Sophie Turner, but she is not playing Sansa. :)
Honestly, this is just a short rundown here, but Martin gives an excellent description of the actors, their reasoning for the picks, as well as his hints decoded at Not A Blog.
Well, here's hoping that the rest of the casting goes smoothly and I can report on those pics too, in the near future!
