It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Honestly, Sombra, why the spoiler tag?

"Game of Thrones" is a very exciting major new series for the american TV giants HBO and is produced by the masterminds behind HBO hits "The Sopranos", "Sex and the City" and "Rome" and the films "Troy" and "The Kite Runner".
Based on George R R Martin's best-selling fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Game of Thrones" is a dark and complex tale of warring dynasties, epic in scale, with a haunting supernatural element. It is set in a fictitious world reminiscent of Medieval Europe in which magic exists and the seasons can last for many years. The series follows the violent dynastic struggles of an empire in turmoil where political and sexual intrigue are abound. It defies genre and has a large topend cast that includes: Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Mark Addy, Lena Headey, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
It is due to be filmed in various locations around Northern Ireland from AUGUST - DECEMBER this year and there are a few specific types of people we are looking for for OCCASIONAL PAID WORK to furnish this epic fantasy world:

Is it just me or does the sword that Sean Bean is holding seem crooked where the grip meets the cross-guard?

No, it's not you, I noticed that as well. It's probably a rubber sword or something.

I've never met Tiste, but Macros is by far the palest person I have ever met. So pale even Goths are jealous. I mean ridiculously, amazingly, blindingly white-skinned. Gonna have to get that boy down here to Oz to put some colour in those ... cheeks?
I'm sure he could pass for a random Northman. Tiste could probably pass for Loras Tyrell ...

Just to chime in, I only have to say one thing concerning the series....
they have to cast Arya Stark perfectly or I'm not even going to bother with it.
She is, by far, one of the most badass characters in literature.

In my opinion, she's perfect casting as far as having the look down. I have high hopes that she's gonna nail the part.

New casting announcements:
British actor Finn Jones has been cast as Ser Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers.
Belfast DJ and actor Kristian Nairn has been cast as Hodor.
A third role has also been cast and is almost certainly Roy Dotrice playing either Grand Maester Pycelle or Maester Aemon. Just waiting to hear which it is.
An additional 2-3 roles have also been cast, and they're waiting for the contracts to be signed before announcing them.
