[QUOTE="Enforcer, post: 855058, member: 396"] First of all, it's highly unlikely that major movie stars could be signed to do a tv series (even if it was HBO or Showtime). But, assuming that it was possible: -Would Danny DeVito be too old for Tyrion? Even with makeup? Barring him, perhaps Jeremy Piven (P.C.U.) could be made to look short enough. The midget from Death to Smoochy would also work very well. -Nicole Kidman as Cercei Lannister. No offense to Ms. Kidman, but I think she'd play a better "stuck-up slut" than any of the previously mentioned actresses. -Gary Busey Jr. (Tomcats, the creepy religious fanatic from Contact) as Jaime Lannister. -Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Merlin miniseries) as Eddard Stark. -I'd put Russell Crowe as Robert Baratheon rather than Eddard.
