Brienne of Tarth has been cast.

The author himself posted on his livejournal about the casting of British actress Gwendoline Christie.

Ummm...so NOT what I had in mind or even what the books described Brienne looking like. I guess we will have wait to see her on the show & see if they can make her look like what Brienne is described as. Maybe lots of makeup & padding?

How tall is she!? That last picture makes her look TALL! She's very willowy, though, which is very anti-Brianne, who is described as a brick outhouse. Anyway, we'll see what they do. Still not happy about Margaery's casting *ducking to miss any tomatoes thrown at me*. That actress is way too old, and I couldn't stand her in The Tudors! Not to mention, she and Loras are supposed to look like twins. Cersei thinks they look more alike than she and Jaime. FAIL!

That picture made her look like an Amazon didn't it? I'm not entirely convinced but we'll see. Maybe padding & crap loads of makeup will help but I definitely agree about her being willowy. Brienne is supposed to be more mannish than feminine.

I won't throw tomatoes at you for your comments about Margaery. She is way older than I would have liked since Margaery is 16 in the books & this actress is obviously way beyond that but again, I'll reserve final judgment (as if my opinion counts, lol!) until after I see her in the show.
I tend to be a bit more lax about the ages for some characters seeing as how Rob & Jon Snow are portrayed as 17 years olds in the show but in the books, aren't they 14? Sansa is only 11 in the book but 13 in the show.

*shrugs* We'll see how they do season 2. What other major characters are yet to be cast?

Stannis, Melisandre, Balon Greyjoy, Davos Seaworth (the Onion Knight), Mance Rayder and one of the ones I'm really looking forward to seeing, Jaqen H'ghar!
