I hope they don't use prosthetics. I hope they find a girl that would probably never make it in acting normally to play Brienne. Maybe a big Scottish or Nordic girl used to carrying huge jugs of milk down the trail after she's done milking cows to play Brienne. That is always how I pictured her. Those type of women do exist. There have to be a few trying to be actresses. Find one. Find some six foot tall, big-framed woman and toss her in a suit of armor. Find someone we believe could kick the living crap out of a man if trained to be a knight and arrayed in full harness.That's what I want to see. Brienne is one of the more interesting characters in the series. I'd like to see her cast. She would be an unusual casting. Most fantasy authors almost always make their warrior women beautiful as well as deadly. Martin went for realism and wrote a big daughter of a dairy farmer girl character and gave her a sword, armor, and some skill. I want to see that properly captured since it is such an unusual character.I hope they go find some big wrestler woman, weight lifter, or simply a big farm girl that wants to act. Dress her up in some armor and let her kick some behind.</blockquote>
