I can't wait to see Paul Blackthorne playing a scary bad guy on BN. Wonder if he'll have his real accent.

I hope so.

GRRM taunts about A Game of Thrones casting in his lj:

Yes, three more roles have been cast for the GAME OF THRONES pilot, as David Benioff and Dan Weiss announced over on Westeros.

No, I can't tell you who they are. HBO will make the announcements in due time, I'm sure. When? I don't know. Tomorrow, next week, next month. They don't consult with me. As I write this, I am aware of five parts that have been cast but not yet announced, but there could well be more. Things are moving quickly now. And of course, casting a role is not just a matter of picking an actor. Even after you decide who you want, there are offers and counter-offers, contract negotiations, a whole delicate dance that goes on. It is never wise to leak things prematurely. Sometimes that can actually throw a monkey wrench into the process.

I'm excited about the choices, though.

What can I say? Not much.

Maybe a few hints...

The five roles... well, we have cast Jaime Lannister and Theon Greyjoy, I let that slip in Montreal... the three new ones are all females. A couple small roles, but very important ones. One player has something in common with Ned. One has something in common with Harry Potter. One is not a boney pop singer. Shows can get cancelled and so can characters, but two of them have been seen on American tv recently.

And that's all you're getting from me, until HBO blows the trumpet.
Mood: mischievous

He added today that one more part has been cast and he can't talk about that either.

Vampire Diaries casting news:

Marguerite MacIntyre, perhaps best known for her role as Nicole Trager on Kyle XY, has been cast as

Sheriff Forbes in The Vampire Diaries. Yes, that’s right, Caroline’s mother is the Mystic Falls sheriff. How kick ass is it to have a woman be the face of The Law in this particular town? Very.

As for Tyler’s parents: Robert Pralgo, whom you may recognize from Army Wives, will be Mayor Lockwood, and Atlanta-born Susan Walters will play Mrs. Lockwood.

Chris Johnson, of South Beach, will be Logan Fell (formerly known as Logan Mills in the casting call posted some days back). If you’ve read the books, you know why we’re particularly intrigued by this new character.

And we’re happy to say that despite his lack of mention in the official CW press release, Chris William Martin is still kicking around the Salvatore Boarding House as Zach, probably in a very snazzy sweater.

Luke Perry will be on the finale finale (as in not the summer finale) of Leverage.

---

Does Leverage end next Spring?

And you mean - season finale, right?

---

I have no idea who any of those people are sumi, and yet suddenly I feel compelled to tivo the show.

Okay, I confess. I was totally planning on tivoing it anyway.

---

Season sounds weird when there's a summer finale and summer's a season. But I'm not sure if the next half season is winter or what the cable terminology even is these days.
