The news we've been waiting for has arrived! The Hollywood Reporter has officially announced Sean Bean has been cast as Ned Stark in a Game of Thrones. George R R Martin has updated his blog in confirmation.
Ned is not our only news. The Role of Robert Baratheon has gone to Mark Addy, who I know (and LOVE) from sitcom Still Standing, and various Heath Ledger projects. I'm actually really excited about this choice. I think Addy will definitely do Robert justice.
Also, new-comer and relatively unknown Kit Harington is playing Jon Snow. I can't wait to see what this guy can do.
Jack Gleeson (Batman Begins) has been cast as Joffrey Baratheon and Viserys Targaryen will be played by Harry Lloyd (Robin Hood).
Martin says there is still many important casting decisions still to be made, such as the Lannisters, the children, and Dany.
This is all great news.
