Carice van Houten as Melisandre of Asshai<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Melisandre will be played by Carice van Houten, a Dutch stage and film actress. She\u2019s appeared in the movies Valkyrie and Repo Men. I think you\u2019ll agree she looks just about perfect for Melisandre.<\/p>\n

And Stannis will be played by\u2026<\/p>\n

British actor Stephen Dillane, best known to U.S. audiences by playing Thomas Jefferson in HBO\u2019s John Adams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not familiar with either actor, but they both look the part. Dillane seems to have a lot of experience with period dramas, which is good. Carice van Houten is certainly striking, though google image search seems to indicate she’s more of a quirky, girl-next-door kind of pretty than the strikingly-gorgeous-and-powerful kind of pretty I pictured for Melisandre. Her acting resume seems solid, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
