More "Game of Thrones" Casting News - Viserys and Joffrey
Looks like today's announcement of Mark Addy and Kit Harrington was already posted (as was the official announcement of Sean Bean as Eddard Stark), but there were a couple relative unknowns cast in big roles today as well!
Harry Lloyd as Viserys
(obviously photoshopped, but still)
Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon
(this picture is from Batman Begins in '05, I haven't found a newer one yet)
Harry Lloyd has most recently been in the BBC series Robin Hood.
Here's his iMDB and here's a clip of him doing an interview about it, with some clips of him in the role mixed in:
Youtube Video of Mark Addy giving an interview:
With his facial expressions and hand motions I can TOTALLY see him as Robert.
Jack Gleeson hasn't been in much of anything. He was a little boy in Batman Begins. Apparently he's 17 or 18, but looks really young (he was 13 in Batman Begins), which sounds really good for this role. I couldn't find any Youtube clips of him because it looks like he's just been acting off and on in small roles while he finishes high school.
Kit Harrington hasn't been in much of anything either - he doesn't even have an iMDB page. The only picture of him I've seen is the one posted in the other casting post from earlier today:
Ned Stark thanks you for your time
If anyone else has some pictures, Youtube vids or info of any of these actors (especially Jack Gleeson and Harry Lloyd) for me to put up, post them and I'll check them out.
