Anyone else want Henry Ian Cusick in that role?

I'd love for him to be involved in GOT - the suggestion of James Purefoy was great as well

[Gazz]

[MrLee]

RUMOR: Burn Gorman & Noah Taylor Join GAME OF THRONES Season 3 Cast

According to Winteriscoming.net's sources, Burn Gorman and Noah Taylor have been spied shooting scenes in Belfast, where Game Of Thrones season 3 is filming now. The pair were seen alongside Night's Watch cast members such as James Cosmo (Jeor Mormont), Mark Stanley (Grenn), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) and Ben Crompton (Dolorous Edd). So who might they be playing? Well the only other major character yet to be cast for season 3 is Mance Rayder, the "King beyond The Wall". The role was recently offered to Dominic West, who had to turn it down, but it is unlikely that either of these actors would be playing that part, especially given the characters they were said to be keeping company with. They may possibly be brand new characters, or just high profile cameos destined to be White Walker fodder, but that seems unlikely.

Noah Taylor is a British-born Australian actor who has appeared in many films, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Burn Gorman was born in the States, but moved to the UK at a young age. He is probably best known to most as Owen Harper in Torchwood, but was most recently seen in The Dark Knight Rises as the unfortunate Mr Stryver.

I watched through this entire series so far and I find it very boring. All it is is people f**king, and arguing. If I wanted to see that, I'd watch some soap operas.

Hooray for three dimensional characters!

There is a line between being a slickly produced, well conceived, brilliantly executed, action/adventure/political/dramatic/fantasy and a common soap opera.

If watching richly developed characters interacting against a backdrop of civil war, looming supernatural invasion armies, and dragons is so boring to you that you'd rather watch 'soap operas' ... wow ... I can't help but feel that you just aren't the type to be entertained by anything audio/visual. Maybe you should consider a career being shot of canons, wrestling with alligators, or tying electric eels into knots and whipping wild elephants.

I get a little carried away, forgive me. I know there's different strokes for different folks and all ... but I can't imagine a set of circumstances that would have a registered member of an Aliens/Predator forum that would be so far removed from being able to take in (and thoroughly enjoy) this series.

I mean, it would be different if this were a quilting forum.

The pacing of the show is terribly slow. It takes 6 episodes for something to happen.

[Blacklabel]

lol?

I disagree. I feel the show builds up certain events and sets others in motion which effect characters later on. Season Two would have been terribly disappointing if they chose to do the invasion within the first few episodes. I am glad they waited and showed each side/House prepare. I am mean, Christ there's so many characters, it would be foolish to rush things.
