i love this man
to whoever told me that Oberyn's white, or more spanish looking, I'm sorry to dissapoint, but he's a salty dornishmen. According to the description from the books, salty dornishmen are very dark skinned, almost like dark hindi people. So please, yes, they whitewashed the character. I loved the way he portrayed the dornish prince, but let's be real, he was whitewashed. Oberyn is dark skinned. next time you want to insult me, READ THE BLOODY BOOKS!
Pedro Pascal is perfect.
Forget the SHOW!! WHENS THE NEXT BOOK COMING OUT GRRM??? HOLYSHIT ILL BE 40 BEFORE THE NEXT ONE HITS AT THIS RATE!! AND IM NOT IN GREAT HEALTH!!! PLLLZ HURRY 😀
Well this is disappointing, I always imagined Dornish people to be more Moroccan looking. The whole domed palaces (mosques? Hagia Sophia?), sun towers (minarets?), crescent/sun (dessert, Arabia or Morocco?), everything about Dorne is totally Middle-Eastern…
I can understand that Dorne is a bit like Spain, but its Granada/Alhambra/Moorish Spain, the whole Middle-Eastern influence. Pedro Pascal does not give me that at all. Zero. I imagine Dorne to be more like the gitanas (gypsies) of Granada, or like Istanbul.
I can't find a single clip of Pedro in any role anywhere, would love to see some of his previous acting, if anyone would be able to help many thanks to you.
Whitewashing? Oberyn's Dornish. The Dornish people's closest real life counterpart would be Spain. That means they'd look European mediterranean (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, southern France). He fits.
'As long as they play the role well it doesn't matter.'
Bitch don't you fucking dare.
I always picutred the red viper like the guy from highlander. But I guess hes too old by now.
eh… i pictured oberyn like little older jason momoa.
Does anyone know if Pedro Pascal is engaged or is single ?
Are you living in an alternate universe? Because the actor they chose in the universe i'm living in HAS olive skin and IS of a different ethnicity than most of the characters on the show…..
Oberyn would've been the perfect opportunity to add more diversity to the cast, and with the budget for this show they could've easily taken any actor they wanted, instead they choose an actor that looks like a Greyjoy or a Baratheon or even a Stark. The majority of the Dornishmen are ethnically different from the rest of the seven kingdoms and the Martells themselves have OLIVE skin tone. Diversity is a GOOD thing people, it makes everything more interesting and realistic. Shame they blew it.
well he does have the nose for it.
How is Oberyn Martell your favorite character? He's active for all of 1/5 of the book before he….well, you know, gets GeorgeRRMartined
cool it cheesecake
Amen
You saying I'm not infamous?
The " INfamous" Red Viper???? INFAMOUS??
Wait to see his performance before judging stupid bitch.
GRRM himself has said that Oberyn is and the Dornish are Mediterranean looking so I don't see why you're having a hissy fit. Sick of people making everything a race thing. No one complains that Sallahdor Saan was white in the books. What does it matter? As long as they play the role well it doesn't matter. Peter Dinklage doesn't look like Tyrion and he kills the role.They aren't white washing the main characters.
He better not fuck this up…
this guy is jsut crap! thanks HBO you just ruined my favorite charather! ¬¬
just because he has chilean family, they think they're not changing whitewashing all the main chars? stupid shit…
That guy clearly isn't Antonio Banderes circa 1999
That picture in the end is from that movie in Burn Notice "The Fall of Sam Axe" in't it :D?
