This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]513643[/split]
I kinda wanna discuss why there are lack of Americans or Canadian actors in Game of Thrones
Plenty of Scandinavians though.
Then again, the best actor is American, so I am quite pleased.

You do know it is set in a fantasy version of medieval Europe, right? One that is also shot almost exclusively in Europe, which is also where a lot of the casting pool comes from? The only reason they cast Dinklage is he is a wonderful actor and was born to play Tyrion (even if he was a bit too old for the part). But yeah, it is not shocking why the casting went as it did in terms of nationalities.![]()
O/T but you never see any Canadians in big roles anymore on tv. The Brits came in and took all their roles. And the Aussies/Kiwis took whatever roles that were left LOL
Anyway do you guys know of any strictly "Game of Thrones" type conventions? I stay in LA and would love to attend one. I know the fanbase isn't as big as a Star Trek or Star Wars, but it surely can compete with the fandom of superheroes/Buffy/Firefly.

I believe they saw a fan suggestion of Jason Momoa as Drogo and ran with that, back in the day.
There is also Pedro Pascal and Rosabell Laurenti Sellers.
Good call on those 2.
so are the reports true about the major cast members earning a million an episode? I see a million on some sites and others stating two million

So close to the end now, they can't afford to change anyone out now to save money.![]()
I'm not sure of their season 1-4 salaries but I believe around season 5 they were earning like 300 K an episode.
And now 1-2 million. Which is incredibly hard to believe.
