Gawain is blonde right? Galad is darker?

ETA: I want Zach McGowan to be cast as someone. I’m not fussy who. I just think he would be awesome in this.

Lupita Nyong'o is my only Tuon.

YES! perfect

I agree. I think the tricky thing for many people will be the presented race of the Two Rivers. Andor as a whole has obvious ties to England and many Andorans seem to be white, but don't the Two Rivers folk have darker skin? Is that just a function of their location or are they actually of a different race than Andorans?

Maybe theyre close to Spanish? Never thought of this before, just did :\

I suspect more like Welsh - or perhaps the darker celtic look...

 

[Ephrem Elpidius]

Actors who are not well known imo create the best immersion for these large scale productions. If George Clooney walks in one of the scenes for example, its going to break the immersion for me.

Ooh. I like the way you think!

 

[Eliza Al'Shaw]

oooh, and the kid that plays Archie, KJ Apa, could pull Rand off pretty well (seriously, the CW is a mine of young talent)

This! I am all about thus boy being Rand. The more I watch of Riverdale, the more convinced I am. Did you see him portray his father character when they did a flash back to the parents at school? SPOT ON! plus the whole Red Paladin story line is giving me the Rand feels, he gets that whole, over protective of women thing and carrying a burden on his own. . . He may be a tad too short but he's got the acting chops to pull it off beautifully!

I totlay get this! It's what happened when Ed Sheeran appeared on GoT. He didn't do anything wrong, it just totally broke the magic.

Okay, I FOUND RAND

Spoiler: Ruairi (how do you pronounce that??) O'Connor

He's playing Henry VIII on the new series, The Spanish Bride.
Also don't look at his IMDB because that pic doesn't look like Rand.

And I cannot find his birthdate anywhere so I have no clue how old he is.

 

[Juliya Karisu]

And a double post because I totally think the girl (Charlotte Hope) could be Elayne.

Spoiler: Rand and Elayne, for realz

Edit: Another pic

Hey folks, I think this relatively no name guy has been cast as Rand - checked out his facebook page and it seems pretty indicative... He fits my vision and I can't speak to his acting since he doesn't have much of a resume. But he seems hella motivated and that gives me hope

[Adanys Wynterwulf]

Oh my goodness!

 

[Jocasta Braithe]

Hmm! I can see it!

 

[Shaerlyn Storna]

What makes you think it?

 

[Dnae Ila]

I can see it. Echoing Shaer, though, where did you hear he was cast?

 

[Alor Sionn]

Looks like he's aspiring to be cast, which I hope he does

 

[Juliya Karisu]

K wait, so is he actually Rand? He seems to think he is?

 

[Theolyn Maryash]

Oh, my. Thought I would prefer the suggestions previously made in this thread, I think I can see it... Is this confirmed, though?
