    - Ser Jorah Mormont. (Iain Glen was great, but casting him changed the role) -- nm - Roger More Sep 21, 08:01 4
      - oh man, he would have made a great Ser Jorah. Also would have nailed the role of Jorah's father. Commander of the Nights Watch. (prb too old though) -- (edited) - Jovian Sep 21, 08:05 3
