Going by looks alone, my pick would be Ghassan Massoud or Homeayoun Ershadi, but I don't think I ever saw them in an English speaking role. They're both incredible actors though. Ok, was I obscure enough?

Ben Kingsley was spotted at the launch of the HBO GOT Exhibition in Belfast!

The thing is, it makes no sense to introduce the Martells in Dorne, we meet some of them at the wedding and then the others later. I do love Ben tho, but I dunno if he likes doing Tv.

I don't know the full extent of Ben's tv history but I do remember that hilarious appearance he did in The Sopranos. I think it was Season 6 when Chris went down to Miami to get that horror movie off the ground.

So at least Kingsly has a little experience with HBO.

 Was that when they stole all the "swag" from him?

Giancarlo Esposito. He is my Doran, you can't suspect him from doing dirty little stuffs because of his quietness. And "fire and blood" fits him so well...

 I was suprised to see that they introduce the Martells into their own territory, but the series has taken so many liberties with the book material that I dont believe on more will make much difference. Probably will make sense in showcasing  the relationship beween the two Martells of which otherwise it would be difficult to make the public aware unless theTV script starts doing heavy exposition. That being said, I liked the look of it all.

How about Antonio Salieri aka F. Murray Abraham? He's a classy actor who has recently appeared on Homeland.

 

My favorite ending...from Amadeus (and it relates to DM from Dorne as well!):

(Salieri) I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint. 
[Salieri is wheelchaired through the insane asylum] 
(Salieri) Mediocrities everywhere... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you all. 

Yes...damn good actor....

Best choice ever. #ourmanbashir

It's also worth noting that he was rumored to be auditioning for Oberyn last year.  Doran is a way better fit...I bet D&D said "come back next year and you get the part".

No way he audition for Oberyn! I cannot imagine Sidding as RV. Good to see he got Doran.
