Fantastic choice, if true.

This is perfect casting if true.

While I think of course Sean Bean should have a part in this ( we can all easily see him in the garb, thanks to Lord of the Rings) I think he looks more, well, sinister than I see Eddard.
Still great to have him in it!

 

[Shurik]

Great news indeed, if it turns out to be true.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

That would be great casting. I hope it's true.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I dunno anything about this story (is this the series HBO has planned?) but I like Sean Bean is pretty much anything.

 

[Evil Twin]

Was tempted to post this myself, but wanted to wait for confirmation. Granted, he isn't who I picture when I think of Ned, but who cares, Sean Bean freaking rocks.

 

[Skywalker]

Yeah, I almost didn't post it myself because it's still unconfirmed, but I was just too excited by the possibility. Hopefully it's true.
