GRRM's 'A Game of Thrones' Casting for HBO

The Starks look pretty awesome, save for Catelyn who looks a little like Joan Cusack to me. But Cersei and Jaime? ALL WRONG. Fuck you very much for ruining my pretteh canon incest :P

What does everyone else think of the casting?

I Love Jennifer Ehle. She's such a talented actress with a voice to die for. She was in the BBC's award winning 1995 version of Pride and Predjudice with Colin Firth.

Rock o HBO for having so many UK actors.

I actually think that casting a majority of UK based actors was part of the deal for getting the authorization to shoot in Northern Ireland... I think it's a coproduction or something, a bit like Rome that was an US/UK joint venture. Except that it was shot in Italy and we barely even saw it here, but that's another can of worms XD

I've never seen her before. What else has she been in? Tell me it's not just me, though. Doesn't she look a bit like Joan Cusack?

I've just surprised myself. I thought she was english, she has such an impeccable accent.
