Our first Brienne candidate?
With season two green lit, casting has now begun in earnest. And so, we once again begin scouring the web for news of any possible auditions. And it seems we may have dug up our first audition tweet. The actress Zoë Lister says she auditioned for Game of Thrones earlier this week. Lister’s only other acting experience to date is roles in the British soaps Hollyoaks and Hollyoaks Later. Based on her age and looks, I would say she has probably auditioned for Brienne. It sounds like she didn’t get the part, but this at least gives us an idea of the possible route they will take for casting Brienne.
Winter Is Coming: Oh, how I missed these casting speculations and rumors! Finding people that auditioned, speculating about what role it may have been for… good stuff! As for Lister, I think she gives us a good idea of what they might be going for for Brienne. Yes, she’s a pretty girl, but with some makeup they can “ugly” her up. Obviously, she is only one of hundreds that are auditioning, but I’m guessing that the Brienne they cast won’t be nearly as ugly as she is described in the book.
UPDATE: False alarm, folks. A source close to the production has confirmed that no auditions have taken place for season two just yet.
