Nice photos, patch - thanks for linking. The perspective on the second one (combined with the very large actor) make him look tiny!

That other actor was it Troy ( cann't think of his name ). He's 7 feet tall and Sean had some scenes with him in that movie
and Sean looked small next to him than to. But he's 7 feet tall!!!

Maisie Williams, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, and Sophie Turner were strangers when they were cast, respectively, as Arya, Bran, and Sansa Stark, but the three have since become fast friends, which I think is cool. They even like to hang when they're not working

Apparently there is a new article, excerpted here:

http://www.sfx.co.uk/2011/02/10/sean-bean-and-george-rr-martin-on-game-of-thrones/

Can someone please translate this statement from that link? It looks like English, but . . .

Quote

“There are very few actors,” says executive producer David Benioff, “who have that sort of warrior spirit. These are people who grew up fighting each other with swords and Ned is someone who is at war for most of his life, and Sean’s got the ability to convey that.”

I had NO IDEA that Sean grew up fighting with a sword - or had a warrior spirit . . . or is it just that he can convey those things?

Lighty, I take it as Ned grew up with the warrior spirit, leaning to fight from a very early age and that Sean, with his working class background and his English heritage has that same warrior spirit and the talent to convey that convincingly.

I could imagine that Sean grew up baseball bat in his hands.

And warrior in the streets of Sheffield. Why not. I sure he was. Learning for life.

He's got the ability to convey naked aggression pretty convincingly. I'm just trying to think of other actors who can without looking silly....

I got it, really - I was just commenting on the tortured syntax. I'm certainly not brilliant at it, myself - but that phrasing is so poor that if you don't know much about GoT and don't know much about Sean, you'd have trouble wrapping your mind around the statement. I doubt Benioff said it that way; it looks like the author tried to edit a longer comment down to a word-bite. And failed.

Should have added one of the many sarcasm smileys, I guess!

yesterday in canal + a lovely surprise: I was watching channel 2, and from 20,00 pm to 20,30 pm, a programme talking about GOT was filmed, of course, I saw Sean's work, fantastic, and next May , in Canal + Spain, waiting for it

Thrones featured in SciFiNow magazine.

Quote

Bean on his character: “All the characters that George has written are very complex, so you are not struggling to find things to add to the character because they are already there in the book. I think a lot of the stuff you get offered these days, the characters tend to be very one-dimensional.”

Quote

Benioff on Bean: “Sean has that ability that when you turn the character on him, you can hold it on him in close-up for 45 seconds for that dialogue, and you wouldn’t be bored because there’s so much going on there.”

I'm starting to think that Benioff suffers from lethologica - pretty sure 'turn the character' should be 'turn the camera' . . .
