He was a little bit smarmy but then the character is that way.

That actor playing Tomnen already has a credit for playing a Lannister. One of the little kids that got murdered by Rob's bannerman if i am not mistaken.

They recast Gregor Clegane again, the guy playing him is on the left in this photo:  The tiny guy on the left is 6'3" incidentally  |

Gewgor or Sandor Clegane? If it's Sandor then they need to stop doing that shit.

Ya unless the current actor got a better gig and wasn't under contract. He seems to identifiable to go though. No way that pipsqeak is gonna be believable as the Mountain that Walks though. He's supposed to be over 7 ft. Andre the giant needs to come back and play the mountain. He'd be perfect for the part around Book 4 or 5. Heh. |

The mountain is supposed to be over 8ft tall; the guy playing him actually weighs more than his weight as described in the books though, which seems fair.
How many 8ft tall people can you think of, let alone potential actors you could name?

Just someone who towered over anyone else in the room would be a start. Not Mr Average. |

None?
I always just assume that when they say things like "8 feet tall" that it is a deliberate exaggeration and not something you are supposed to take as literal. It just means really fucking big. That Icelandish guy seems to fit the bill. I thought the previous actor to be wrong for the part, because despite his height he didn't seem very menacing to me. The original guy (Conan...Stevens?) seemed a better fit.
As for recasting the Hound...big spoiler time:

The guy they cast is 6'9, that's not exactly Mr. Average.
Oops, I see my mistake, the guy they cast is on the right, not the left. Doh! Sorry

Yeah, I don't see how this could possibly work. That's why they cast Gandalf as an 8 foot bloke, so that he could tower over Elijah Wood.   |

I'm glad we got the right/left thing about the photo straightened out, because I was trying to puzzle out why you'd choose the smallest guy of those three to play the Mountain.

They recast THE MOUNTAIN, not THE HOUND, right? Because you motherfuckers are confusing me.

Yes, they recast THE MOUNTAIN, and he is the large guy in that picture, and he has a funny accent so he'll probably get dubbed. Maybe season 2 THE MOUNTAIN can talk for him for some vague continuity. |

So, I've only seen up to season 2 and haven't read the books. It seems like Lancel is on the road to manning up a bit and not being such a weasel, maybe even becoming a good guy, or at least the GoT equivalent of a good guy. Do the books go this way or is this just the show adding a bit of character to minor players?

I didn't even know The Hound's brother had been in the show. So, uh, is recasting him a big deal?

Having just recently rewatched the entire series, other than the cutting the horse's head off in the tourney, the only other time he's been seen is in a conversation or two with Tywin Lannister in Harrenhal. I'm pretty sure most viewers won't even know who he is until someone calls him the Mountain.

The Hound talks about him plenty but they haven't shown him much.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Even in the books he is mostly an offscreen menace, you see and hear about what he's done but you don't see him.

So, the recasting means nothing. Good to know.
