I peeked in the forbidden lands of ASOIAF forums, seems Ray is a front runner too. Mikkelsen has a good look, but not for Victarion. I think if he were younger Mik would've been a great Bastard of Bolton.

Mikkelsen looks too...smart? Which is like...the total opposite of Victarion?

No but seriously now, as much as I'd love to see Ray in GoT, I can't see him as Patrick Malahide's brother. If it were up to me, I think I'd go for someone like Shaun Dooley. He has pretty much the same coloring as Malahide, and he's a fantastic actor (with a voice perfect for GoT, I might add).

 I wasn´t serious about MM btw, it would be more of the same crappy characters he played. Let him play more Johans Struensee.

Shaun Dooley!!! one of my favorites Dicken´s actors. And yes, he´s voice is perfect.

Vinnie Jones as Vic, I think he'd be brilliant in the mad fighting scene .

I'm still open about Euron , I need someone dark and piraty.(think it's the eye patch ) and he gets the ladies ... oh yeah.

 Oh! I remember that scene. Loved it to bits. But you know what the problem is with Ray? He's a very charsimatic actor, and I'm not sure Victarion is supposed to be that.

Y did you see "Hung"? Thomas Janes character is basically Euron without the eye patch and the Aaargh Matey.

Noooo....I mean yeeeess please get Isaacs in GoT, but but but...he played so many baddies. And he doesn't have that insane look. Remember, Euron is supposed to be "the maddest of them all". Isaacs plays cold brilliantly, and anything ranging from elegant to gangster, but ...hmmm. Well, he is a greact actor, I'm sure he could pull anything off.

I know what you mean Macha about the typecasting, but he even has a similar facial structure to Malahide. Bros before Hos. Not that you're a ho. 'Cause you're my wife.

 Seriously, this character is so effed up it shouldn't need any explanation, LOL. He is the epitome of everything that's wrong with what is probably the most despised house in the whole series, and add to that the whole wacky R'hllor agenda. It's brilliant, because you can just see his epic crash miles away.

Damphair is just cuckoo, Euron has got that whole evil Blackbeard-on-crack persona going for him, but Vic is just plain dumb. Which makes him loveable, because he's so deliciously consistent - he's a simpleton and a thug, and what you see is what you get. 'Hardy har har, I killed my wife and I drown innocent slaves and burn women in the middle of the sea, where I stand fully clad in five tons of armor with my killer dragon horn, about to blow all of you useless shits to smithereens.' The man has a charred-black demon hand, for god's sake! He's the guy that thinks he could sail the Sea of Grass. He's a badass dumbass that thinks his scheme to take Dany for himself will totally take Euron by suprise. He'd be the guy that today would trip over a cordless phones. And then he'd smash it with his giant axe. And then feed it to the flames. And the he'd be like "Who's laughing now, bitch?"

God, I hope he does marry Dany, I really do. trollface

Victarion could be Azor Ahai reborn for all we know. He is *that* epic.
