Mircea Florea How do you think the series would have looked if it was shot in the 90's?
What actors would have played in Game of thrones?


Dustin sean bean would have been a good choice to play ned stark in the 90's


Mircea Florea How about Kevin Costner?


Robert Antonio Banderas - Doran Martell
Christina Ricci- Arya Stark
Tom Cruise- Lord Renly

Antonio Banderas would make an awsome Martell


Dustin yup, he still would

costner would have been a decent stark


Mircea Florea Brad Pitt for Jamie?


Mircea Florea Even though he is not short, how cool would have been to have Rowan Atkinson as Tyrion??

John Bellman Costner would have been a horrible Stark. His pathetic attempt at a British accent in Robin Hood pretty much explains this....and yes, Ned Stark needs a believable accent....an American accent would not sound right in this story.

Warwick Davis for Tyrion??

Robb Stark - Freddie Prinze Jr.
Jamie Lanister - Brad Pitt
Marge Tywell - Rachael Leigh Cook
Bran - Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Sansa - Claire Danes
Arya - Christina Ricci
Catelyn - Julianne Moore
Robert - Jeff Bridges
Theon - Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Jon Snow - Jake Gyllenhaal


Robert Little Finger - John Malkovich


Dustin warwick is pretty cool

i dont think fantasy always needs an accent.. but sean bean is so much better then costner, and he would have still been a good choice in the 90's

i like all those choices except prince jr., cook, thomas, and ricci, but the rest sound good


Dustin banderas too would be cool.. still


Mircea Florea I don't think Warwick would make a good Tyrion. Besides the fact he is short I don't see any other similarities.


Robert Question: Should 1990's Shay actress have a similar work history as the actual one?


Dustin i think the girl doing shay now is annoying... no one could be near as good as the tyrion they have now


Robert I was thinking more of her filmography not her acting.

Scott Kinkade 1.) I can sorta see Heath Ledger as Jon Snow.

2.) Kevin Sorbo needs to be in there somewhere, dammit.


Robert I had trouble not picturing 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' in place of The Hound. Now, if he could act.......


Neilr Macaulay Culkin - Joffrey

Tyrion - Tom Cruise (he's the right height for it at least)


Mircea Florea Kevin Sorbo could be Jamie and a blonde Lucy Lawless could be Cersei. Everyone would root for the Lannister then.


Mircea Florea Tyrion - Tom Cruise (he's the right height for it at least)" LOL . Altough I could imagine him as Tyrion.


Mircea Florea Dustin wrote: "i think the girl doing shay now is annoying..."

Are you referring to the character or the actress?


Mircea Florea I think both are annoying


Dustin yes, me too


Mircea Florea "uh, look at me ,I'm an european porn actress playing a medieval slut, I'm sooooo artistic"


Mircea Florea Although if we could have Sasha Grey in that role...

Scott Kinkade In a weird way, I can kinda picture Ron Jeremy as Tyrion and Jenna Jameson as Cersei.

And how about Chris Farley as Robert?

Then we gotta have Bruce Campbell as well.

Paul - bruce campbell for eddard


Scott Kinkade Yes! Ned with a chainsaw hand!
"I sentence Eddard Starke to death!"
"Joff, you're only going to kill two things: jack and ****" *revs chainsaw*

I was thinking Lucy Lawless as Cersei aswell.

Oh yessss!

Robert wrote: "Little Finger - John Malkovich"
Or for Tywin Lannister?

And if we put Kevin Sorbo as Jaime Lannister, Brad Pitt could be the Knight of Flowers, Loras Tyrell.

I'd prefer Heath Ledger as Robb Stark, rather than Jon Snow.

I can't imagine any Tyrion other than Peter Dinklage, so I can't comment on that one.


Annemarie Donahue One man show with Bill Shatner playing all the parts and narrated by Morgan Freeman. :)
