HBO is now casting babies and kids from Spain to work on Game of Thrones season 6.
Casting directors are looking for babies and kids to work on the hit TV series, Game of Thrones.
While filming has not started in Spain yet. Producers are ramping up production and are currently casting men, women, and children to stand-in for the citizens of Westeros and Essos.
Modexpor Internacional, the casting company for Game of Thrones season 6 recently posted two new casting calls on their Facebook page today. One of the casting calls is looking for teenagers. More specifically, “Young people from 16 years (girls with long hair and guys with short hair and a maximum height of 167 cm)”.
The second casting call is also pretty interesting. Casting directors are looking for babies that are 9 to 12 months that are “fair-haired”
According to reports, filming will take place in the Castell de Santa Florentina, a medieval castle that has been designated as the Season 6 filming location. The production is scheduled to shoot there from September 9-22, which encompasses the dates Modexpor mentions in its casting call.
But, why would casting directors need babies?
From WinterisComing.net:
And what might HBO need a baby for? The description of the baby as fair-haired makes it sound like the network is going to recast the role of Little Sam, Gilly’s baby, who simply refuses to grow into toddlerhood despite being on the show for a few years now. Fans have theorized that the Castell de Santa Florentina will stand in for somewhere in the Reach on account of how wooded and bucolic it is. If Gilly’s baby is going to film scenes there, perhaps the Castell de Santa Florentina will stand in for the Tarly estate? After all, Sam does mention wanting to drop Gilly and the baby off with his family in A Feast for Crows.
