Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Having Sean Bean as your gruff hero already made HBO’s Game of Thrones fantasy TV series a must-see, then they had to go and cast another favorite of mine, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from New Amsterdam, and as the cherry on top, Lena Headey from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has joined the cast.

I’m a fan of New Amsterdam, and hated when FOX canceled it. Its star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been in a couple of shows, but none have stuck. Maybe joining Sean Bean’s HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones will do the trick.

Sean Bean loves him some fantasy medieval type projects. THR reports that the former “Lord of the Rings” star has been cast as the lead in HBO’s new TV series, Game of Thrones, based on the series of George R. R. Martin fantasy novels called “A Song of Ice and Fire”. Bean will play Lord Eddard “Ned” Stark, the honorable Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell, and who becomes closest adviser to King Robert, set to be played by Mark Addy.
