I talk about the newest Game of Thrones casting over at Tor.om. Casting spoilers, obviously, if you click.

All I can say without spoiling anything is that casting is absolutely key when you’re gearing up for some epic fantasy. The normal rubric of “this person is a good actor” doesn’t work. You know who is a very good actor? Anjelica Huston. Also, Joan Allen. Also, Hans Matheson. And yet, DID YOU SEE MISTS OF AVALON? That shit was AWFUL.

Epic Fantasy Actor Camp is a very tricky beast, people! Godspeed to all involved. Glower and pine as you’ve never glowered and pined before!
