More on that ASOIAF casting thing

GRRM reveals more casting news - including Jaime

And yes, I'll rightly admit that I was more interested in that specific role than the others.





So Jaime will be played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. GRRM posts a bit about him here.

My immediate reaction wasn't one of pure joy, but after pondering it a bit I think this is a really good choice. The guy can act and he also looks the part.

Though combined with the current influx of the Skarsgård-family in films and series, it feels a bit like the Scandinavians are everywhere. Hee.

As for the other parts, the guy cast as Theon looks good, but the actor playing Dany doesn't work for me. Perhaps she is better in The Tudors, but I don't watch that and so I wouldn't know.

DENMARK IS REPRESENTING! (and I also really need to stop thinking about him as "the guy from Nattevakten" Hee.)

WE TOTALLY ARE. [I think he'll always be that guy from Nattevagten to me, I'm afraid. Though I will admit that he is consistently awesome whenever he appears in anything with Kim Bodnia. Oh, and he was funny in Rembrandt.]
