OK looks like a good fit for what is mostly a minor but cool character.


Can we get to who they are going to cast for Thom? I feel like he is important to get a good actor. He's really a very crucial character (in the books).

Important charatcers we meet in The Eye of the World (book)
Padan Fain
Elaida
Morgaise
Logain
Galad
Elyas
Bornhald

Exciting to see this actually unfolding!

Thanks Digi!

I want to see who they will cast as Min

Here is showrunner Rafe Judkins tweeting:

Starting the S2 writers’ room on Wheel of Time and the Czech builders didn’t fully grasp how many whiteboards are needed to break an entire season of television. Ha.

So, I guess that means that Season 2 is extremely likely (and that the production is happening in Czechia!)

Sorry, I totally missed the post about other casting...it's a good question isn't it? I think the most interesting one might be Padan Fain; I've always pictured him -- even when he's at his best -- as being wiry to the point of looking like he's about to starve to death, and all kinds of oily. I don't think he'd necessarily be right, but maybe someone along the lines of Cillian Murphy?

I would really like to see how they will portray the Seanchan if their is a S2. They have always given me some strange ideas

He has that look to him and could play the part.

Other actors could be Christopher Lee, Jason Isaacs, Malcom McDowell, Giancarlo Esposito (could play many roles)

How about Danny Trejo as Masema?

I foresee at least one problem
