Great casting, except for Khal Drogo, I'd go with this guy:

Name's Dalip Singh. Huge, scary as hell, and perfect for Drogo.

This is a weird list. Jean Reno makes sense there but I don't like the others. Michelle Williams is way too old, too white, too soft. I have pictured Chow Yun Fat as Drogo but Chow is probably too old now. Someone mentioned The Rock who was intriguing. My image of Mirri Maz Duur is totally different.

I think hands-down the two hardest characters to cast are Dany and Sansa. Both are a similar age, and I think it's basically impossible to find stunningly gorgeous 15 year-olds who would age well in a television series. I ended up picking Michelle Williams because she's already past puberty so we know she'll look the same for pretty much the whole season, and she also looks much younger than she really is. That's not even including the fact that she's a great actor. But if you have other suggestions, I'm definitely willing to hear them!

Cwazola, Sala Baker is the stunt man who played Sauron in LOTR (see the extended edition). He also did work for other big guys, so don't worry, this guy is a beast. The pic I chose does make him look like he's soft, but he's not.

Great casting. I'd have to agree with Cwazola about Drogo, though
