A beautiful cover for Game of Thrones Title Theme (Acoustic Guitar) - Ramin Djawadi

This is so beautiful it gives me goosebumps and brings a tear to my face.

Haha, no, I had that icon before I even knew who Stannis was. I love Mark Strong, I've seen so much of his work and he's really one of the best actors I've ever seen in anything. Watch The Long Firm, if you haven't yet. It's one of the few things in which Mark actually plays the lead and not just a small role. And while he can nail a role with just three minutes screen time, he does even better when he gets a more important part.

If they somehow manage to get him for the role, my joy will know no bounds. I'm almost wishing here that Mark's career hadn't taken off so much in the last years, what with him getting one movie part after the other.
I hate the word "stan", but it's oddly fitting for Stannis. ;D

** laughs ** See, I made all that up. I was fond of him always, but he was a total scene-stealer in "Sherlock Holmes".

I WOULD LOVE to have him as Stannis. Another favourite choice of mine is Christopher Eccleston , again, if he joins the show as Stannis, I will be the biggest Stannis fan in the universe.

I am not fond of it too, I am so old fashioned. And the next time someone is going to use the world flawless - I might scream. I like the word, but it is used too often.

Yes. I adored him so much in Sherlock Holmes (and him having the cutest, most evil fluffy sidekick ever was another plus). It impresses me that he steals every scene he's in, ad yet he still never makes the other actors look back. It's impressive.

Christopher Eccleston would be good, too, I wouldn't mind him, of all the possible actors whose names I've heard thrown around. Unfortunately people often suggest actors who are way too old. Even considering that the show ages everyone up (Stannis, like Ned&Robert, is in his mid-30s, but they were also placed by actors in their 40s ... or even 50s by now?) ... I don't want an old guy past 60 to play Stannis, it would just look weird.

Haha, I'm okay with "flawless", although it is a bit overused. But "stan" makes me want to throw things at people. Especially when used as verb.
