Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
W-I-C posted a new casting glue from GRRM's lj:
His fate is one that Derek Jacobi has tasted twice.
He knew Indiana Jones, has hung with droids and jedi, thrice contended for a Larry, winning once. He’s been a knight (often), an archbishop (twice), a dean, a priest, a doctor.
The first part is about the actor - the second about the part.
People are guessing Maester Cressen for the part and Oliver Ford Davies for the actor.
And Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre have been cast:
Melisandre will be played by Carice van Houten, a Dutch stage and film actress. She’s appeared in the movies Valkyrie and Repo Men. I think you’ll agree she looks just about perfect for Melisandre.
And Stannis will be played by British actor Stephen Dillane, best known to U.S. audiences by playing Thomas Jefferson in HBO’s John Adams.
(Both above from W-I-C)
W-I-C got the news from EW.
Game of Thrones: Liam Cunningham as Davos.
BTW, he currently plays President Tate on Outcasts.
And he was in Camelot. (Stephen Dillane was in the movie King Arthur as Merlin.)
Mystery Eyesack is going to be on Covert Affairs.
Christian Shephard, or the guy who played him, has been cast in the new Charlie's Angels.
Rumor has it (i.e., I've forgotten where I saw this) that Joe Flanigan is going to be on Fringe next season. Don't know if it's a one-off or recurring.
Oh, cool.
ETA: apparently he Tweeted:
Nathan Drake thing still alive? Oh Hollywood. Working on Fringe right now. Trying to get my small head around their mythology.
He mentioned something on his Twitter.
I don't know who that is, but he seems badass, and hot, so I will second the YAY.
