Why are they no Americans in this show, are they just inferior actors?

>>86169221
Yes

One of the main actors is American though

>>86169221
Americans don't have a medieval history, so having a faux-medieval fantasy setting where everyone speaks with modern American dialects would be distracting even for Americans. It hasn't stopped people from trying it though, it's become a hallmark of bad fantasy movies.

Yeah but it's not like there is a massive pool of good male dwarf actors in their 40s though

>>86169221
Because when an audience listens to the american accent, they picture an obese man choking on burger meat while berating his child loudly in public.

The phlegmatic accent of ugly bongs suits better with the high-fantasy setting

>>86169352
Most famous dwarf actors have come from Europe though

>>86169221
Americans can't into consistent English accents.

>>86169221

British actors are cheaper for one and for another, people think a british accent is more authentic for fantasy, even though the modern British accent came about in the 19th century during the industrial revolution.

>>86169221
Americans can't act, except in kino "reality" shows like storage wars and south beach tow

English spoken with accents from other areas in Europe is best for fantasy.

GoT is based on the War of the Roses

Ehhhhh...

I've heard the southern American "dixie" accent is actually closest to the English accent spoken in the Elizabethan period, but I'm kind of glad they don't go with that because god I hate southern accents.

>>86169221
Americans can't do non-American accents for some reason.

Don't remember any dragons when I learnt about this at school t b h
Also wouldn't that make Scottish people wildlings? Not cool

Too expensive. They couldn't even affort Sean Bean for more than ten episodes.
