Line 79:
** Not a cast member, but Tom McCarthy, director of [[The Station Agent]] (Peter Dinklage's most prominent role), [[The Visitor]], and [[Win Win]], helmed the original pilot and helped with casting, but ultimately did not feel invested enough in the series, or that he was good enough at directing for television, to continue, and went back to film. He says [http://www.avclub.com/articles/tom-mccarthy,53245/ "I’d like to think I had some impact on it, but I don’t think much of that is mine anymore."] The pilot was reshot by HBO house director Timothy Van Patten.
** The show's 2013 April Fool's joke was a fake announcement that Peter Dinklage would be replaced by Warwick Davis to make Tyrion a more "comedic" character. The showrunners also claimed that they would digitally transfer Davis' face over Dinklage's in reruns and subsequent DVD releases.
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]:
** An indirect example: In season 3 Gilly's son was portrayed by an infant called Arya Hasson. Unsurprisingly, both her parents are huge fans.
** Several actors were fans of the books before being cast on the show, such as Kristian Nairn (Hodor). Keisha Castle-Hughes was also a fan before being cast as Obara Sand.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]:
** Sophie Turner, Sansa Stark's actress, despite being tall and looking fairly grown up, is only 15 years old, and was 14 at the time the first season was filmed (which is, more or less, one year older than her character on the show).
