Holy bananas!
George RR Martin just posted on his blog that they've got Sean Bean cast as Eddard Stark for HBO's Game of Thrones pilot! Check it out here: http://grrm.livejournal.com/. I'm also really excited about their cast for King Robert (this guy's got "loud and drunk" written all over him and I thought he was great in A Knight's Tale) and for their choice of an "intense" unknown for Jon Snow. But getting Sean Bean attached to this project makes it feel like it's got a whole lot more weight and authenticity behind it now. (Peter Dinklage was previously cast as Tyrion... also exciting, but it's old news.) I can't wait to see who's announced next!

I have no clue why I didn't think of Dinklage for Tyrion - unbelievably obvious and perfect choice. Loved the Station Agent. Sean Bean is a very solid actor of course, though I don't know if he fits that well for Ned.
Agreed, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
