      So many of the GOT actors are brilliant castings because their personalities are a close fit for their characters I think. Sean Bean and Charles Dance being 2 obvious ones.

      Charles Dance, Sean Bean, Maisie Williams, Liam Cunningham, Peter Dinklage, Jack Gleeson, Iwan Rheon, Alfie Allen, Lena Headey ... Etc. (this is not a top) They're so many ! It's maybe the best cast ever (movie & TV show) !

      +The library “TlOm” of music Ok I wouldn't say Sean bean. He doesn't have the stark look. Dark hair, unemotional face, etc. He is a brilliant actor but not the best Ned stark or Stark in general. Benjen and Jon although are perfect Starks.

It is not in class and there are a lot of middle class people in the South and a lot in the north. There are also a lot of working class people in the north and a lot in the South. This North-South divide that people generally think of is a total myth.

    Tywin Lannister's got to be one of my favorite 'bad guy' characters in Game of Thrones. I use the quotation marks because, while I see him as, in a sense 'evil' he isn't evil in the same way as the Mountain is evil or Joffery was evil or Cersei. He's got moments where his character is actually very impressive; two of which in particular that I can think of are in Seasons 2 and 4. In season 2, his little moments with Arya where you get on the edge of your seat thinking that he is going to find out who she is, he gives off a kind of vibe while talking to her; a kind of vibe like a grandfather would give (if it weren't for the circumstances involved). The same went when he was talking with Tommen during Joffery's 'wake,' you can tell that despite his strange and rather dark principles he still has the best intentions in mind. Tywin Lannister's the kind of guy I'd want to have as a grandfather; the kind of guy who, whenever I'm around, is willing to be there to teach me things so long as I'm willing to listen to him. Gonna miss his character...

    The scene with Tywin skinning the deer is actually transferred from another character in the book. In the books it is Randall Tarly that is skinning a deer when he tells his son Sam that if he doesn’t go to the wall and take the black he will kill him. It works fantastically for the scene with Tywin and Jaime in the show though.

    Show Tywin is definitely not as 'bad' as book Tywin. Book Tywin is one of the most heinous people alive when it comes to Tyrion's past

      While that’s true, Charles does touch upon what makes Tywin somewhat unique. He’s a man of principle, but his principles are profoundly warped. Forgive the cliche, but he’s as lawful evil as you can get (despite the show-runners believing he’s neutral)
