I think if you reread the comment, it's fairly clear that Newton was aware what Foos are, and in fact relies on that knowledge to set up the joke in the second sentence.

Should've gone for "cunty," would've worked better.

Mark Henry would work really well. I guess Viscera would work too, but he's a little flabbier than I envisioned Belwas. I know they don't need to hire someone with actual fight experience because he's not going to have to ACTUALLY fight. But the physique of a Strong Belwas should be different than the physique of a…

@avclub-6850dfd7cf5a46634b94c8c1f07e7340:disqus , I've never pictured JRD in terms of a physical match, but he could be worked out, and personality-wise I could easily see him making a great Belwas. But I think he might be too old now.

Mance's wife is Dalla, Val is Dalla's sister. She is sometimes referred to as the wildling princess by the king's men and queen's men.

@WrongSirWrong:disqus , he was described as dark-skinned, a eunuch slave from Meereen. They can easily choose to go against book color, since the Meereenese, like all Ghiscari, are a very mixed-race group, so an East Asian should be fine, why not?

I think he was asking you why you thought of Hinds for the Red Viper, not why you thought of Robert Carlyle for Mance. I could see the latter a bit, the former not so much.

No, he has to be huge, but solid. He's a fighter, remember? So "fat" isn't enough, has to be that combo of fat but muscled underneath that you'd find in a linebacker or a Samoan wrestler.

I like this casting, even though he's a bit older than I imagined based on the books. That wasn't an issue for other characters like Catelyn Tully, so I'm fine with choosing a fantastic actor whose appearance or age is a less than perfect match. Besides, 'middle-aged' in Westeros, especially considering how hard life…
