Actors names revealed WiC posters are geniuses

We were right. We were 100% correct on our guesses for the five adult roles. It was just announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Jaime, Dany, Theon, Robb, Jorah, Sansa and Arya have all been cast.

HBO is filling out the cast of its fantasy pilot "Game of Thrones" with the addition of former "New Amsterdam" star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and several others.

The group joins the previously cast lead Sean Bean as battle-weary Ned Stark, who leaves his home to serve the king. Mark Addy, Kit Harrington, Jennifer Ehle, Jack Gleeson, Peter Dinklage and Harry Lloyd also star.

In the adaptation of the George R.R. Martin fantasy-book series, Coster-Waldau will play Jaime Lannister, one of the kings guards and a ruthless usurper of the previous king. The actor, most recently seen in Ron Moores Fox pilot "Virtuality," is repped by WME, Impression and Independent Talent Group.

Another addition is Tamzin Merchant (Showtimes "The Tudors"), wholl play Daenerys, an exiled teenage princess.

Also new to the cast: Richard Madden ("Hope Springs") as Starks eldest son, Robb; Iain Glen ("Into the Storm") as Ser Jorah Mormont, a disgraced knight; Alfie Allen ("The Other Boleyn Girl") as Theon, Starks young ward; Sophie Turner ("Doctor Who"), as Starks eldest daughter, Sansa; Maisie Williams as Starks young tomboy daughter, Arya.

The group joins the previously cast lead Sean Bean as battle-weary Ned Stark who leaves his home to serve the king, Mark Addy, Kit Harrington, Jennifer Ehle, Jack Gleeson, Peter Dinklage and Harry Lloyd.

HBO still has a few more roles to fill in the large ensemble cast of "Thrones," one of the more buzzed-about titles on the premium networks development slate. The pilot shoots in Ireland in October.

Winter Is Coming: Congrats all for figuring it out! Nice assist by those over at the Westeros forums and Tower of the Hand as well. However, this was where most of the comments were concentrated though and I think many of the suggested actors names first popped up here. So good job everyone!

Now we can begin (or rather renew) the debate over whether Coster-Waldaus nose is too big or Merchant isnt pretty enough. Im sure these choices will give us plenty to talk about for the time being. Lets try to keep it civil though, okay?
