Season 6 audition tapes
Might wanna warn people to watch at their own risk for S6 spoilers
These audition tapes use actual show dialogue. Last year an audition tape leaked for Obara Sand talking about Jamie Lannister coming to Dorne. He did not go to Dorne in the books, so some people thought it may be fake dialogue. It proved to be real.
Some very interesting stuff in this particular audition tape.
Forget to post the Casting call info for Season 6:

Game of Thrones Season 6 Casting Rumors and Speculation
Casting calls for Game of Thrones Season 6 have surfaced online, courtesy of the fine people over at Watchers on the Wall. We’ve reached out to HBO, which could neither confirm nor deny whether the casting calls were legitimate, so take them as you will. Also, there will be speculation as to which characters from A Song of Ice and Fire these casting calls are for, so watch out for potential spoilers.
The first role called for is:
Next up is:
In connection to Father casting, we have:
The brother may be Sam’s younger brother, dikkon. dikkon is everything that Sam is not. In fact, when Lord Tarly learned that his wife had borne another son, Lord Tarly gave Sam two options: take the black and join the Night’s Watch, or die in a mysterious hunting accident. Yeah, Randyll Tarly is a real dikk.
Next up is a character that many were hoping for this season, but with the exclusion of the Riverlands, he was all but forgotten:
There are some nondescript roles here:
The last bit of this casting call is pretty interesting.
So what do you all think about these casting calls? Are we seeing the casting of some very exciting and long-awaited characters? Let the wild rumpus speculation begin!

Casting calls for Game of Thrones Season 6 have surfaced online, courtesy of the fine people over at Watchers on the Wall. We’ve reached out to HBO, which could neither confirm nor deny whether the casting calls were legitimate, so take them as you will. Also, there will be speculation as to which characters from A Song of Ice and Fire these casting calls are for, so watch out for potential spoilers.
The first role called for is:
- Pirate, man in his 40’s to late 50’s. He’s “an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness.” He’s a dangerous-looking man. A very good part this season.
Next up is:
- Father. Aged 50’s to 60’s, he’s one of the greatest soldiers in Westeros- a humorless martinet, severe and intimidating. He demands martial discipline in the field and in his home. It’s described as “a very good part” for next year and that he’s “centrally involved” in a protagonist’s storyline.
In connection to Father casting, we have:
- Mother, in her 50’s. She’s a sweet, plump, and adoring mother, and has a soft spot for one of her children who benefits from her decency.
- Sister, in her early 20s. She’s a kind, friendly and unpretentious woman.
- Brother, in his early to mid-20’s . Athletic, a good hunter, an excellent swordsman, manly, not particularly bright but the favourite child of the father.
The brother may be Sam’s younger brother, dikkon. dikkon is everything that Sam is not. In fact, when Lord Tarly learned that his wife had borne another son, Lord Tarly gave Sam two options: take the black and join the Night’s Watch, or die in a mysterious hunting accident. Yeah, Randyll Tarly is a real dikk.
Next up is a character that many were hoping for this season, but with the exclusion of the Riverlands, he was all but forgotten:
- Priest, in his 40’s or 50’s. A gruff ex-soldier who found religion. Now a no-nonsense rural priest who ministers to the poor of the countryside. He’s salt-of-the-earth man who has weathered many battles.
There are some nondescript roles here:
- Leading Actress, in her early 40’s, she’s an elegant actress with a traveling theatre company. Fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in the troupe.
- Priestess. Mid-20’s to early 30’s. Any ethnicity- she’s beautiful, intense, and magnetic.
- Fierce Warrior, a tall man in 30’s or 40’s with a powerful physique. They’re looking for someone with “mixed ethnicity” for the role.
The last bit of this casting call is pretty interesting.
- A large boy, with an actor who is 10-12 but playing 7 or 8. He’s described as “a clever boy” who seems too large for his age. He’s big and tall but not fat. “Characterful squat features” are a plus for this part. it’s specified that this is a one-time appearance.
- 12 year old boy, with brown hair and blue eyes. He needs to use a Northern accent. He has scenes where he has to spar with a wooden sword.
The length of the role isn’t specified.
- 7 year old boy with dark brown hair, a narrow face and green eyes. He also has a Northern accent. He also spars with the wooden sword, so it’s safe to assume it’s the same scene. This role is similarly open-ended, the description only stating that the character is being ‘introduced.’
So what do you all think about these casting calls? Are we seeing the casting of some very exciting and long-awaited characters? Let the wild rumpus speculation begin!

More casting news from yesterday:
Here are some more casting rumors for Game of Thrones Season 6
Season 5 is over, and the long wait for Game of Thrones Season 6 has begun. A few weeks ago, casting calls surfaced for some major characters who are apparently going to appear on the show next year. While nothing is confirmed, the descriptions made it sound like we’re going to see the likes of Euron Greyjoy and Septon Meribald, characters seemingly left out of Season 5, as well as Randyll Tarly, Sam’s father, and his immediate family. Now, the fine Thrones fans over at Watchers on the Wall have published more casting calls obtained via a “reliable source.”
Accoding to Watchers, the producers are looking specifically for residents of Ireland or Northern Ireland to fill these rolls, which could imply that the North is going to be of particular interest in Season 6. As always when dealing with these kinds of stories, it is encouraged that you take the news with a grain of salt. Having established that, let’s get into it.
Qhogo and Akrat: Possibly an exception to the request that actors be from Ireland or Northern Ireland, HBO is looking for performers of mixed ethnicity for these roles. Qhogo and Akrat are tall, confident young warriors who speak a fictional language. They’re all but guaranteed to be members of the Dothraki khalasar that came upon Daenerys in the fifth season finale.
Also, because this seems as good a time as any to mention it, why didn’t any of Dany’s Dothraki bloodriders join Jorah and Daario on their hunt for the Dragon Queen? They’re still around, right?
Lachlan: Lachlan is the leader of a renegade band who are extorting poor, vulnerable citizens even though they’ve been charged with protecting the land where those citizens live. He appears in two episodes next year.
There’re a lot of possibilities for this character. I can’t think of any direct analogue from the books, but that’s probably going to be the case a lot going forward, since the show has pretty much caught up with the novels at this point. Lachlan could be a Northerner disobeying the orders of House Bolton, a criminal who’s stampeding through the Riverlands, or even someone tormenting the citizens around Meereen. A puzzle, this man.
Flynn: This guy is part of an outlaw band, possibly part of Lachlan’s outlaw band. His group is using religion to justify extorting the citizenry. Like Lachlan, he’ll appears in two episodes.
The bit about religion is interesting, because one of the complaints I had about the Sparrows in Season 5 was that they seemed to come out of nowhere. If we see how brigands are using religion inappropriately to terrify people in the countryside, it’ll provide some context for the Sparrows, who are a reaction to all the senseless post-war violence.
Japeth: Here’s another member of an outlaw band. That Lachlan inspires loyalty, apparently. He’s a “rough-and-ready type” with a strong physical presence.
Bower: Whoever plays Bower is required to have a Northern or Midland English accent. His filming schedule overlaps with those of the outlaw band members described above, so he’s probably another member. Unlike the “rough-and-ready” Japeth, Bower is “a powerless servant, numb to the horror he serves.”
The more I read about Lachlan’s band (which I think we should all start calling “The Lachlan Group”), the more I think that they’re a bunch of brigands running around the Riverlands. Perhaps Season 6 will see Jaime head to the Riverlands to put down any remaining pockets of rebellion, as he did in A Feast for Crows.
Legendary Fighter: Moving away from outlaws, probably, this mysterious figure is in his thirties or forties and is described as “a paragon of knighthood.” Also, he carries a famous sword. Maybe he’s got a Valyrian steel sword and Sam is trying to send him to the Wall to stand against the oncoming White Walkers?
Predictably, HBO wants someone who’s good at sword fighting for the role. This knight of indeterminate race and ethnicity will spend a week filming fight scenes.
Lord of Noble Northern House:This lord is a savage warrior who rules a house in the very far North. HBO is looking for someone with a Northern English accent and a powerful physique who can tower over other cast members. He must be at least 180 cm tall, which is around 5 feet 11 inches, which isn’t ridiculously tall, but maybe all the other cast members are short. He’s also described as having a beard and a violent temper.
To me, this sounds like Lord Jon Umber, aka the Greatjon. True, that character has already appeared on the show, but he hasn’t been seen in a while, so maybe they’re recasting him. It all seems to fit. The Umbers control a house in the “very far North,” and we know they’re currently harboring Rickon, who Sansa found out was still alive back in “Hardhome.” Might Sansa somehow find out Rickon’s location and head north to start the resistance?
Lord of Northern Stronghold: This northern lord is “ruthless and calculating” and will appear in three episodes. Running with the whole “Northern resistance” theme, might this be Lord Wyman Manderly? He certainly had several moments of ruthlessness and cunning in “A Dance of Dragons.” There’s nothing here about him being grotesquely overweight, but the show doesn’t seem to have heeded George R.R. Martin when it comes to obese characters. Just look at who they cast as Yezzan zo Qaggaz this past season.
Hunter: Next, we have Hunter. That’s probably his profession, not his name. He’ll appear in an action scene with the main cast. Also, and I’m just guessing here, he’s probably going to die.
Green Recruit: This nondescript young man will have one line. Maybe he and Hunter will kill each other in that action scene.
Submissive Maester: This timid young Maester is in his twenties. He has trouble standing up to others and appears in one episode. This sounds like Maester Kerwin to me, the unfortunate young man who ran afoul of Victarion Greyjoy in A Dance with Dragons. Look for Euron (who I’m guessing the show is going to combine with Victarion) to murder Kerwin early in the season to demonstrate what a badass he is.
Housemaid: For this character, HBO wants someone between the ages of 45-65 with a Northern English accent. She runs a large household, and is motherly but stern when she needs to be.
Here’s yet another Northern character. It’s looking like we’re going to spend some quality time in some Northern house. I’m thinking it’ll be House Umber.
Father: This patriarch is tough, old, has an Northern English accent, and gets two lines.
Sympathiser 1, 2 & 3: These people are rough military types. With what are they sympathizing? The Northern resistance?
Alright, so that gives us quite a bit to chew over. It’s curious that the producers seem to be adapting the whole Northern resistance storyline, if that is indeed what they’re doing, after Sansa and Theon have fled Winterfell. It seems to me that having all of these characters in the mix inside Winterfell could have been a lot of fun, but I guess it would have required them to slow the pace down. More likely, we’ll be getting into things we wouldn’t be able to guess anyway.

Random question...
Off the Jon Snow is Targ Set, maybe can be brought back from the dead with fire and the red lady steez....
If being a targaryen means that you don't burn in fire.....wouldnt Maester Aemon's (100% Targ + true kings blood) body not be affected during his funeral? Or was that because he was dead? But Jon would be dead if they did have that ceremony....
I dunno this has been going on in my head since I first heard it
