As you may have seen in my post from earlier in the week, HBO has greenlit the pilot episode for George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Since they picked up the option to the series, I’ve been pondering who would fit which character of the show. I still have a lot of problems figuring out certain characters. I think they are going to have to come up with quite a few unknown actors in order to properly cast the series.

However, I’ve come up with list of preferred actors and actresses to play a majority of the main characters in the story. I only used actors that are known for actually doing television series. If the actor does mostly movies, or is a high-budget actor, they most likely got disqualified from my list. Anyway, keep reading to see…the list! What is your list? Got a suggestion for some of my missing characters? Like Sansa, for example? Post your comments!

Eddard “Ned” Stark – Kenneth Mitchell (Jericho)

Catelyn Stark – Lena Headey (Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles)

Robb Stark – Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights)

Sansa Stark – Tessa Allen (General Hospital)

Arya Stark – Adair Tishler (Heroes)

OR Saoirse Ronan (City of Ember)

Bran Stark - Mickey Graue (Lost)

Robert Baratheon – Paul Johansson (One Tree Hill)

Cersei Lannister – Ali Larter (Heroes)

Jamie Lannister – David Anders (Heroes)

Tyrion Lannister – Danny Woodburn (Various Stuff)

Tywin Lannister – Malcolm McDowell (Heroes)

The Hound – Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who)

OR Lance Henriksen (Aliens)

Petyr “Littlefingers” Baelish – James Callis (Battlestar Galactica)

Daenerys Targaryen – AnnaSophia Robb

Jeyne Westerling – Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights)
