Which actor if any could have played Tywin as well as Charles Dance?

Idris Elba

Christopher Lee

Tom Hardy

>>87820216
Daniel Day-Lewis. Of course, he'd never stoop that low, like Charles Dance has done. Repeatedly. In his shit career (compared to DDL's)

Dance doesn't take himself too seriously and DDL does? Good to know

>>87820310

t.b.h CD probably stopped giving a fuck in the 80's, and took only roles that made him fun to play

Christopher Lee

>>87820398
Don't reply to me ever again. Also, DDL's acting stomps all over Chuck Dance's. Confirmed fact, check the average reviews. I dare you to check them. Dance dressed up as Satan for a Syfy show. LOL. Nice life choices, Charles Dance.

Tywin is the poor man's Longshanks

>>87820422
And money, of course. Yup, Charles Dance doesn't care about the craft. He just wants to have fun and get paid. How is he any different from your average rapper? Meanwhile, Daniel Day-Lewis will be remembered 500 years from now for his epic performances. Nice job, Dance. You've lost to DDL -- permanently. There's no coming back from this.

In the books I always pictured him like Malcolm McDowell

This.

thanks Daniel, you can stop posting now.

>>87820501
You can't deny that he played a fantastic tywin regardless of his reasons for playing whatever roles he plays.

>>87820461

Jesus anon, take the cock out of your mouth. Twyin was a better character than anything DDL has done.

You could probably give props to the writing but Dance was incredible in that role.

Neither did Marlon Brando but he's twice the actor DDL is, and Brando read his lines off a fucking queue card

>>87820504

here was me, that is Tywin, and my three Bannermen, that is Kevan, Armory and Addam and we sat in the Harrenhall lord chamber trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the starks. The Harrenhall cupbearer served dornish red, wine from dorne which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence. Our pockets were full of money so there was no need on that score, but, as they say, a Lannister always pays his debts.

Not sure, but Michael Fassbender will make a great Tywin Lannister in 20-25 years time in the inevitable Game of Thrones reboot

>game of thrones reboot

seriously why didn't they just wait 5 years so we could have a full show written by grrm?

Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery, Pierce Bronson

>>87821084
>why didn't they just wait 5 years so we could have a full show written by grrm?

Because even the author thought he'd be done writing the books by now, or said as much, when they started.

>>87821084
I'll be 5 yrs before we have book 6

>>87821084
grrm is only be alive for 3 years, due to his poor diet and refusal to stop eating all the time

>>87821084
You know grrm has written several episodes already, right?

>>87820292
yep.
also Jeremy Irons, IMO.

>>87821172
Connery has Alzheimers

>>87821203

Either way we could have had the vast majority of the important characters played by the same people even 10 years down the line and the show would have been much better for it.

Michael Caine

>>87821230
Of course, nothing past like season 4 though.

I'm not gonna pretend I don't immensely enjoy got still but it's definitely not what it used to be. The depth just isn't there anymore, that's pretty obvious to everyone.

>>87820685
i shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did. Nice job anon.

>>87821172
>Patrick Stewart
yes.
>Sean Connery
maybe 10 years ago.
>Pierce Brosnan
I mean....maybe. I dunno, he's not intimidating enough imo

>>87821375
>not intimidating

This is exactly what CD excels at, I genuinely don't think any other actor could come close to what he managed to pull off.

>>87821412
I'd personally give Pierce a chance, just to see. You never really know.

>>87821450
Oh, thats good.

>>87821084
because while everyone knew grrm is a lazy fuck, nobody including himself expected that he is THAT lazy

Brosnan is too much in "devil may care" character of Jamie Lannister
.
But certainly not ruthless enough to flood an underground city full of women and children like Tywin

>>87820292
F

>>87821450
I'd say yes, but CD has this royal vibe around him whenever he's present in the room, not sure if SL could pull this off

I think maybe Ralph Fiennes aged a bit, same goes for Viggo Mortersen

>>87821172

>Patrick Stewart
Was thinking the same thing

> Sean Connery
Maybe 10 years ago, but not only is he retired now, but remember he passed on Gandalf (and 15% of the back-end) because he thought LOTR was too complicated

> Pierce Bronson
Maybe in 10 years, just doesn't seem old enough, though they could easily use some prosthetics

>>87820501
>Daniel Day-Lewis will be remembered 500 years from now for his epic performances
Just like we remember Lionel McDewey and Charlotte Phlebs today?

>>87820490
Longshanks is the poor mans Lionheart

>>87820216
Nobody. Charles Dance was born to play that role, really. There are certainly better actors than him, but Charles Dance was just the perfect Tywin through and through. I just wish the show delved a little more into his motivations and character, but at least D&D didn't fuck that up too much.

>>87822491
I'll say this for D&D the arya and tywin scenes were top notch stuff.

>>87822584
Can't really agree with this. Although the scenes weren't terrible they were uncharacteristic to Tywin as I don't see any reason for Tywin to care about some peasant girl, let alone spend time and converse with her. Furthermore, it made Tywin stupid as he was too stupid to realize Arya was definitely hiding from something.

>Mark Strong

Maybe a little young for the role of Tywin

Would have made an excellent Euron instead of that pantomime character they currently have

>>87822884
I don't think he particularly cared about her, he just isn't the sort of person to be cruel for no reason, he's no Joffrey, obviously he's willing to do whatever needs to be done, where his family is concerned. I almost see him as a slightly harsher version of Jaime.

>>87820461

>that moment when you see Tywin's glorious entrance and realize that robby is fucked

>>87820490
Tywin is pretty much Longshanks already. Gurm based Tywin off of him.

Ralph Fiennes is a great choice, Viggo wouldnt work at all though. My pick would be James Faulkner, guy who played Randyll Tarly in the show

>>87823059
>>87822884
Yeah exactly, notice how he doesnt give much of a fuck about her when he leaves Harrenhal, he just finds her spunkiness amusing

>>87822901
Stannis.

John Hurt
