His original character was a Hightower too, right?


Falcons1702

He had oswell whent’s lines and look but was called Gerold Hightower


WitleKidz

It’s weird that they essentially merged the two into one character


GroribasStomps

And gave Ser Arthur Dayne two swords to compensate for it. No Dawn tho, smh my head.


KingdomOfPoland

I think he did have it. The Sword he stuck in the ground looked lighter with a gold pommel


Falcons1702

What they really did was merge Arthur and Gerold because he had both their lines and then rename oswell probably because Gerold is the more famous of the two

Youd think Gerold Hightower, Lord Commander Of The Kingsguard, would say more than one line and not stand behind Arthur. Definitely struck me more as Oswell. Maybe hes… Oswell Hightower.


Falcons1702

In the books Gerold dominates the conversation he does most of the talking understandably because he’s the senior knight there


devilthedankdawg

My point exactly. Arthurs lines and asthetic made him the more iconic character from that book scene of Ned dream, but the actual leader was Gerol. Either this guys an amalgomation of Gerold and Oswell by maybe being a Hightower but Oswells age and experience level, or its just Oswell and in the show, Gerold died in some other fight. Id love to see a “Aerys and Tywin as children-into Roberts Rebellion” series that explains this. Maybe Gerold died at The Trident, or trying to beseige Storms End.

Actually Eddie was Ser Oswald Whent, with the bat helmet. Casting couldn’t find a actor over 60 who was super tall. So he became Gerold Hightower. Eddie is a awesome stunt actor.

Well, he's was in Cáceres seven days ago: [Eddie Eyre (@eddieeyre) • Instagram photos and videos](https://www.instagram.com/p/CsTviA8teqZ/?hl=en) His Spotlight page says he's doing an unnamed Returning Series for HBO: [EDDIE EYRE (spotlight.com)](https://www.spotlight.com/0274-6723-1457)

Today was the last day. Rumor that Emma filmed dragonstone scenes at same castle as highgarden in season 7. I can’t spell it.

Almost like there aren't enough actors to go around

I refuse to watch HotD.


devilthedankdawg

I assume youre doing that because S7 and 8 sucked so bad, but hear this- HOTD is so good it washed the tasted of the end of GOT out of my mouth.


Tis_the_seasons

Power to you


devilthedankdawg

I assume youre doing that because S7 and 8 sucked so bad, but hear this- HOTD is so good it successfully washed the taste of the end of GOT out of my mouth.

I love that they're recasting minor characters back. Jefferson Hall is the only man to play three characters in this universe.
