Game of Thrones season 7 casting calls are here and they look amazing.
With only 13 episodes left on HBO’s Game of Thrones, your chance for landing a role on the hit medieval drama maybe coming to an end. However, we have good news because, we reportedly have the casting call breakdown for several of the new roles casting directors are now casting for Game of Thrones season 7.
According to Winter is Coming, here are several of the casting calls the casting directors are now casting for the new season of Game of Thrones.
- Priest, in his 60s. “He’s a venerable priest with moral authority and gravitas. The show is seeking a white actor, using an RP accent, with characterful face for this part. He’s scheduled to shoot one week, from September 22nd.”
- Gate Guard, in his 20s. This character is a “Confident, characterful, straight-talking Northern lad with a great face to play across a very excellent series of scenes.” He needs to have “wit, timing, and charisma.” He’ll film between mid-October and mid-November.
- Merchant, in his 40s. HBO wants a character actor for this part. He’ll appear at an inn (the ubiquitous Inn at the Crossroads?) during a busy evening. They’re open on his race and appearance. He’ll shoot scenes during the first week of November.
- Lovely Lady. No age range is provided, but the role is described as “an attractive young courtesan who is sure of her own mind.” The role is a “good speaking part.” Again, the production is open regarding race and ethnicity. She’ll shoot for a week in early October. Oh, and the part requires full nudity.
- Young Lord, in his late 20s. This guy is a tall, handsome young lord. The producers want a white actor with an RP accent. He’s shoot scenes starting September 20th.
- Lieutenant, in his 20s. The lieutenant is “an athletic, physically fit, and disciplined warrior.” The producers want someone who isn’t white. It sounds like they’d prefer someone of Middle Eastern descent. He’ll shoot for several days across three weeks between mid-September and mid-November.
- Warrior, 35 – 45 years old. “The character is a tough-looking bruiser with the attack skills of a pit bull, and the actor needs to be great at fighting. He has a ‘considerable’ amount of dialogue as well. It’s described as an ‘excellent part for a top-end actor.’” They’re looking for a white actor with a “neutral and non-posh English accent.” The role will shoot through October.
While this list of roles is for smaller parts, there is still some interesting roles listed in their. For example, the role of priest is especially interesting considering what just happened in King’s Landing.
The biggest role may be the “Warrior” role, which is a major guest starring role. And considering the pitch for a “top end actor” may suggest that casting directors are looking for actors that can handle “considerable dialogue”.
Throughout the Internet, Game of Thrones’ fans are trying to figure out which book characters are the HBO producers and casting directors currently casting for. For example, according to Gizmodo, the Warrior role is most likely the book character Connington who “was the secret guardian of a young man claiming to be Aegon Targaryen, who had survived his family’s downfall in Robert’s Rebellion and returns to Westeros with Tyrion Lannister at his side to stake his claim on the throne.” But at the moment this is just speculation and wild guessing.
