Sorry, don't agree with you there. No comparison at all as far as I'm concerned. Benjen is the more dashing of the two. David T. is nowhere near being dashing.

But where will they find anyone more dashing than Sean? Such a man does not exist!

True.  So they need to go with Sylvene's idea and have him come back as Benjen (since he apparently disappears for a long time, it could work . . . I guess).

Or, how about Aaron Eckhart?  Is he being considered by the rabid fans on the blog?  He sort of looks like Sean . . .

The resemblance between Sean and Aaron Eckhart has been mentioned before.  AE is about 10 years younger than Sean.  Would that work with the story?

 :vomit: Sorry but that guys ugly. If its slightly dashing they are looking for, no no one will ever be MORE than Sean, how about Simon Baker?

Not so much, imo . . . but I doubt we could collectively come to an agreement on someone to 'replace' Sean as Benjen.

So, given that we've made up our minds - I say we just ring the casting director (and Sean's PA *gag*) and inform them that he'll be taking on that role, as well . . .

I think that Simon Baker is pretty good looking and I enjoy his show The Mentalist.  Other than hair color, I don't think that he really favors Sean.

I just saw a blog entry this morning, talking about some guy who evidently looks a lot like Sean.  They didn't post a picture though, and he probably can't act, but it would be interesting to see him.  I thought about  posting a comment, asking for a picture of the guy.

Imagine being the actor cast to play Benjen and then being told "Oh by the way, when Sean Bean's character dies he will be playing yours and you will be....out" Actors, being sensitive creatures with massive egos, tend NOT to react too well to this type of news!! So I cant see it happening, and if it did Id just feel sorry for the origional guy. Sean has a role, we must be content with that, and not wish for more! Be nice beanygirls!!!

Acting is a tough field - you have to have a hide tough as a rhino.  If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.  Life's a bitch and then you die.  Don't block the door.  Mind the gap. Etcetera, etcetera, ad nauseum . . .

 . . . so

No.  I won't play nice.  *heehee*

I really don't see any director or producer changing an actor mid role for any reason. Once an actor has a part he keeps it. Changing the actor for whatever reason just sounds like a recipe for disaster.

There are lots of examples of characters changing actors mid-stream and more often than not taking over the role so completely that the new actor is the only one you can remember for that character.  Need I mention James Bond?

yes, but we're not talking a major franchise here, we're talking a pilot episode that still may NOT be picked up at all.
