Seven more to the mix

Yesterday, US time, seven more parts of the HBO pilot for A Game of Thrones were cast. They all seem to be actors of relative unknowness this time round, though by all accounts very strong. An article over at The Hollywood Reporter runs through them all, but for ease of use I’ll list them here:

• Jaime Lannister – played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
• Daenerys – played by Tamzin Merchant
• Robb Stark – played by Richard Madden
• Ser Jorah Mormont – played by Iain Glen
• Theon Greyjoy – played by Alfie Allen
• Sansa Stark – played by Sophie Turner
• Arya Stark – played by Maisie Williams

Some of these actors are such unknowns that they barely have a web pressence at all. So for more info head over to George R. R. Martin’s Not a Blog to read up on them.

This is all very good news. The finished product is still a long way away, but it looks like it’ll be pretty grand once it gets here!
