By George, I think we got it!

It looks like the Winter Is Coming readers may have done it again. This one took a little longer than the last few, but it seems like we may have solved GRRM’s clues. Here are our current speculations:

Jaime Campbell Bower as Waymar Royce
Clues satisfied: will wear sable (as Waymar), knew Dumbledore (will be playing Grindelwald in upcoming HP films), is just a number not a free man (line from The Prisoner which he will be playing in upcoming AMC remake of), knows what lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge (line from The Twilight Zone, will star in upcoming Twilight movie)

Esme Bianco as Red Headed Whore
Clues satisfied: will wear birthday suit (as the whore natch), has a small part (will likely only appear in one episode) worked with chemicals (appeared in Chemical Wedding), worked with fairies (appeared in Burlesque Fairytales), worked with dead men (appeared in Dead Man Running)

Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark
Clues satisfied: has a SMALL part (Bran is a child), was not sacrificed by his father by a jealous god (Old Testament figure Isaac was almost sacrificed by his father), is a town in Nassau (Hempstead is a town in Nassau County, NY), never gonna get (that’s what you think George!)

Winter Is Coming: Great work by Paul Gude, The rabbit and Paul J for coming up with these three names! Bianco is pretty much confirmed since she announces the role on her website. There is a vague confirmation of Hempstead-Wright getting some sort of big role on this website, which may or may not be Thrones. There hasn’t been any confirmation on Cambell Bower yet, but I’m keeping an eye on his Twitter account. Still all the clues fit so well, it is hard to believe that any of these might be wrong.
