Look at that smile and flawless skin! In real life, Rory McCann looks nothing like his brooding and fire-scarred "Game of Thrones" character. Sophie Turner is a natural blonde, so when she's not playing Sansa, she's usually sporting lighter locks.
The young star is also turning into quite the Hollywood fashionista! Jack Gleeson might have been a cruel psychopath on "Game on Thrones," but in real life, he's as sweet as can be. Check out that welcoming smile and shaggy brown hair! We barely recognize Carice Van Houten when she's not clothed entirely in red. It's beautiful and I really dig it.
Aww, look at Alfie Allen! With his blonde hair, big blue eyes and kind demeanor, the English actor looks nothing like his miserable "Game of Thrones" alter ego.
In real life, Nathalie Emmanuel gives Khaleesi a run for her money in the sexy department! The "Furious 7" actress prefers a much more glam look than her alter ego — and frequently rocks a septum piercing. Even though Sam is not all that brave, he makes up for it with his fierce intelligence. John Bradley might have kept his "Game of Thrones" character's facial hair in real life, but he looks like an entirely different man than Sam when he's wearing a tailored suit!
Hannah successfully saves her son from the White Walkers with the help of Sam Tarly, and the two strike up a sweet relationship. Jerome Flynn left stars as Bronn, a skilled and dangerous sellsword and knight who is Jaime Lannister's close friend and Tyrion Lannister's former bodyguard, on "Game of Thrones. Jerome Flynn might be a filthy brunette on "Game of Thrones" but in real life, he has golden blonde hair — just like the Lannisters.
His ear had been burned away; there was nothing but a hole. His eye was still good, but all around it was a twisted mass of scar, slick black flesh hard as leather, pocked with craters and fissured by deep cracks that gleamed red and wet when he moved.
Down by his jaw, you could see a hint of bone where the flesh had been seared away. He was also at too healthy a weight, so I've sunken in his cheekbones and given him a more dagger-like nose accordingly.
The Hound shouldn't have an outer ear, and much more extensive scarring has been added to better match his description. Ser Jorah is not quite as handsome as the showrunners would have us believe. Our favorite friend-zoned knight is more attractive and also more lightly built on the Game of Thrones television series than his book-version counterpart.
So spake Martin: Ser Jorah was not a handsome man. He had a neck and shoulders like a bull, and coarse black hair covered his arms are chest so thickly that there was none left for his head. Book-Jorah is balding but not yet completely bald , with darker hair and beard, as well as a healthy crop of black chest hair. I've also given him a wider neck and shoulders to reflect how crazy strong this Bear Isle exile really is, and a "demon's mask" brand on his right cheek, which Jorah receives for being disobedient while he and Tyrion are slaves.
On the show, the infamous Bastard of Bolton cut quite an evil and sadistic figure. But would you believe that the book version of Ramsay is even worse? In the novels, some of the things Ramsay Snow does make you shudder, and he is nowhere near as attractive or charismatic as Iwan Rheon.
So spake Martin: Yet for all the splendor of his garb, he remained an ugly man, big-boned and slope-shouldered, with a fleshiness to him that suggested that in later life he would run to fat. His skin was pink and blotchy, his nose broad, his mouth small, his hair long and dark and dry. His lips were wide and meaty, but the thing men noticed first about him were his eyes. He had his lord father's eyes—small, close-set, queerly pale. Ghost grey, some men called the shade, but in truth his eyes were all but colorless, like two chips of dirty ice.
I've given him blotchier skin, closer-set and lighter eyes, a wider nose and more pinched mouth. The Lord of the Dreadfort is cunning, cruel, and as cold as the winter winds about to whip through Westeros. For five seasons, Michael McElhatton has admirably portrayed the calculating nature of Roose Bolton to a tee, but there's one problem—McElhatton doesn't really look anything like the character of the books. For starters, Bolton should have long black hair, pale eyes the color of mist, and a strangely unlined face despite his age.
So spake Martin: He had a plain face, beardless and ordinary, notable only for his queer pale eyes. Neither plump, thin, nor muscular, he wore black ringmail and a spotted pink cloak.
The lord regarded her. Only his eyes moved; they were very pale, the color of ice. The Lord of the Dreadfort did not have a strong likeness to his bastard son. His face was clean-shaved, smooth-skinned, ordinary, not handsome but not quite plain.
Though Roose had been in battles, he bore no scars. Though well past forty, he was as yet unwrinkled, with scarce a line to tell of the passage of time. His lips were so thin that when he pressed them together they seemed to vanish altogether. There was an agelessness about him, a stillness; on Roose Bolton's face, rage and joy looked much the same.
All he and Ramsay had in common were their eyes. His eyes are ice. On the show, Theon went through hell as the prisoner of Ramsay Snow—but emerged from his ordeal mostly unscathed except for his dangly bits. In the books, the Bastard of the Dreadfort treated "Reek" much more harshly, aging the youngest Greyjoy by 40 years and leaving Theon short several fingers, toes, and teeth by the time he escapes. So spake Martin: The second lord, the straight-backed old man in the mail byrnie, studied Reek with flinty eyes.
Have you forgotten? Can it be? Stark's ward. Smiling, always smiling. One wrong word could cost him another toe, even a finger. Thus far he had lost two fingers off his left hand and the pinky off his right, but only the little toe off his right foot against three from his left.
Peter Dinklage makes a wonderful Tyrion, but he's definitely more attractive than the Imp of the books. He should have a "squashed-in" face, and following the Battle of the Blackwater only about half of his nose. His pale blond and black hair is a startling combination, as are his different-colored eyes. All that the gods had given to Cersei and Jaime, they had denied Tyrion. He was a dwarf, half his brother's height, struggling to keep pace on stunted legs.
His head was too large for his body, with a brute's squashed-in face beneath a swollen shelf of brow. One green eye and one black one peered out from under a lank fall of hair so blond it seemed white.
Jon watched him with fascination. His hair gets the "platinum blond and black ombre" treatment, which is the hottest style for this Winter. Tywin Lannister—as played by Charles Dance—cuts a very imposing figure on the show.
Dance is nearly perfect for the role, and he has mastered the attitude of the disdainful and tyrannical Tywin. The show also got much of Tywin's appearance correct—except for the hair and beard.
So spake Martin: The Lord of Casterly Rock was as lean as a man twenty years younger, even handsome in his austere way.
Stiff blond whiskers covered his cheeks, framing a stern face, a bald head, a hard mouth. After seeing the results, I almost wish that they had gone with Tywin's actual muttonchops on the show. They are glorious. In the novels, Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon all look like the Tully side of the family, with auburn hair and blue eyes. On the show, Robb is fairly accurate in terms of eye color, but his hair is a little more brown than red.
So spake Martin: "The deserter died bravely," Robb said. He was big and broad and growing every day, with his mother's coloring, the fair skin, red-brown hair, and blue eyes of the Tullys of Riverrun. He is a boy no longer, she realized with a pang. He is sixteen now, a man grown. Just look at him. War had melted all the softness from his face and left him hard and lean. He had shaved his beard away, but his auburn hair fell uncut to his shoulders. One of the major problems book readers have with the show's version of Jaime Lannister is his hair.
Throughout the show, it seems that they just haven't been able to get it right—it's always the wrong color and usually the wrong length.
During the first two seasons, Jaime should have long curly blonde hair and be clean shaven. After being released by Catelyn, Jaime shaves his head and starts growing a long beard—which he takes a razor to after making it back to King's Landing. He begins to let the hair and beard grow out again towards the end of A Feast for Crows, which means he should have a very unkempt appearance again by season 6 on the show—not the military style he currently wears.
Additionally, Jaime and Cersei are supposed to look like near mirror images of one another. So spake Martin: There came Ser Jaime Lannister with hair as bright as beaten gold, and there Sandor Clegane with his terrible burned face. He squinted up from the floor, his cat-green eyes slowly becoming accustomed to the light.
All that hair makes you look like Robert. Or silver? It was grey. I have also made his eyes greener. I've also slimmed down his nose to make it resemble actress Lena Headey's more closely. Lancel's appearance in early seasons was accurate for the most part, but much of what happens to him after joining the Sparrows on the show is imagined. Book Lancel takes severe wounds at the Battle of the Blackwater, which age him prematurely.
He later gives up his lordship and new wife to join the Faith Militant, but there's no face carving involved. So spake Martin: Though only seventeen, he might have passed for seventy; grey-faced, gaunt, with hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and hair as white and brittle as chalk. Though his hair had gone white, his mustache fuzz remained a sandy color. I also removed the Seven-Pointed Star on his forehead, because in the books he doesn't go through this initiation ritual. When Barristan Selmy travels to Essos in order to join Daenerys' retinue, he's grown his hair and beard long and goes by an alias—Arstan Whitebeard.
It can't be said that he didn't manage to pull off Ramsay's reprehensible and psychotic tendencies, at least. The first and most obvious note to tackle is that she was named Asha in the books, but became Yara when transitioning to the screen.
Anyway, Gemma Whelan's portrayal of Yara certainly nailed down her strut and attitude, but takes a few key liberties with her appearance. Yara, or Asha, if you please, had leaner features in the book, as well as short, dark hair and a sharp, pointed nose. As you can see, none of the above made it across into the series.
You'd be hard pressed to level any terribly valid complaints at the casting of Michelle Fairley here, as she manages to bring the mother wolf's ferocity to life as well as she brings across her physical attributes. Long, auburn colored hair? The deep blue eyes of a Tully? Yep, they're there, as well as the high cheekbones that are supposed to rest just below them. I guess you could whinge about how they aged her up a bit, but that's a complaint that you could level at the entirety of the show, so it may be best to just take this one for a total win.
So long as we ignore the fact that the series totally cut her Lady Stoneheart persona, anyway. The beauty of the Red Priestess is well known, and Carice Van Houten doesn't disappoint in that regard. She doesn't really disappoint at all, actually. Really set that one up for absolutely nothing, didn't I?
Tall, slender, a narrow waist and pale skin beneath a cascade of fiery hair - there's honestly very little to complain about here, outside of the mismatched eye color, since the producers clearly have something against colored contacts. Anyway, she's a close fit except for that weird plot inconsistency with the magical amulet that allows her to retain her youthful vigor, but that's fodder for a different list. The Greyjoys' absolute madman of an uncle certainly does bear a striking resemblance to both Theon and Yara's respective thespians, so much so that you could swear they were related outside of work.
However, he's also the precise opposite of a dead ringer for his literary counterpart. He's described as handsome, but with pallid skin, and dark blue lips owing to his affinity for the intoxicating shade of the evening. He's also got much darker hair. But perhaps most conspicuous is the absence of his eye patch, which seems to have been altogether left out of his wardrobe for the series.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was practically bullet proof casting here, to be frank. His hair could be a bit more curly, and he could swap his blue eyes for green contacts, but those are hardly pressing issues.
But if you really wanted to dig deep to get some good dirt, he doesn't exactly pass as a twin for Lena Headey's Cersei, as it's mentioned in the novels that they were practically identical as children - so much so that Tywin could hardly tell one from the other.
But casting options for actual twins are, you know, probably a little bit slim. Sophie Turner's Sansa is probably the best that we could hope for, and there are few enough issues to raise regarding her portrayal. Actually, are there any to raise at all? Sansa's described as taking firmly after her mother's classical Tully features.
She's tall, graceful, and adorned with the expected combination of auburn hair and blue eyes. Considering Sophie Turner hits all of these notes in fine fashion, I think we can comfortably accept the case for a remarkably accurate choice in actress.
Robert's a big guy, made even bigger by many years of lavish feasting, drinking and otherwise having a pretty great time since he took the Iron Throne. Mark Addy's take on the role took this well into consideration, with his portrayal of portly King Robert managing to visibly convey his overt fondness for drink.
Robert's obviously aged up a bit, as with most of the show's characters, with his black hair given largely to shoots of grey.
Apart from that, he falls pretty neatly within the lines. Now, if we ever get to see a young Robert circa the Rebellion put to screen, we'll check back in.
It's doubtless that we'd find something to complain about if we look at Theon's portrayal earlier on in the series, but we're going to get a lot more mileage if we start with his appearance after Ramsay Bolton
