I tried to ignore 'above the title' actors like Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman and their ilk since I'm not sure Thrones will be able to cast any of the big Hollywood hitters in roles that just don't get the facetime those actors usually want. I have removed early fan suggestions like Ciaran Hinds, James Purefoy, Mads Mikkelsen, Ray Stevenson and Tony Curran since each has projects filming during the Thrones filming period and will be unavailable in all likelihood. Who do you want in your favorite upcoming role? I also have included actor's photos and links for the fan suggested choices as well as some of my own choices.
They have been somewhat accurate so far, but they are one artist's interpretation based on the books.
I've included the Amok's ASOIAF portrait cards (where available)as a reference for those not familiar with the books, although they are not canon. I will update this as rumors or verifications come in. We have a list of verified roles being cast, a number of roles rumored to be cast, and a few assumed to be cast despite not being mentioned yet. With Season 3 casting underway I thought I would create a Season 3 casting speculation and rumor thread.
