I don't see why not. If they can cast a guy whose biggest experience is World's Strongest Man the bar for acting ability is not exactly high.

the original guy that played the mountain should've stayed on. this kid looks the part, but he's supposed to be the older clegane. he looks way younger than sandor
i think the dude playingthe red viper of el dornois gonna do a good job.

Robert vs. Rhaegar isn't in the books...is it? Vague description of how it ended(Bobby B and his signature hammer to the chest) but nothing detailed or anything.
There's really only 2 truly extended one on one fights I can think of, both of them duels. Viper/Mountain and Bronn/Old knight dude in the Eyrie. Oh and I guess Jaime/Brienne went on a while, though only Jaime was really going all out the whole time. Oh, Hound vs. Beric too I guess, more than I thought when I started. In general he keeps the 1 on 1 fights pretty brief, like I imagine they would be in reality. Areo Hotah kersplatting Arys Oakheart for example. Even Jon and Halfhand was pretty short if I remember it right(possible I do not).
Random derail, whatevs.

Yep, every Astr0 example was stupid and wrong, half of them weren't even 1 on 1. Par for the course.

Barristans fight was indeed awesome. Best part of book 5. Greyjoy chick's fight was against multiple fighters but she fought one dude for a while. Ned v jamie was valid and much talked about on the old board. Brienne fought that one dude then biter or whatever fuck his name jumped her and chewed her up.

Good example of what I was talking about where it's actually a pretty short fight. Belwas toys with him for a minute then fucks his shit up. GRRM keeps it somewhat realistic like Abercrombie. Swords are fuckin' dangerous, I highly doubt many 30 minute fights went on like in a Salvatore novel. Both guys perfectly timing and countering every move, no one gets cut...

Agreed. The mountain barely even speaks. As long as he is huge and can be taught to sword fight somewhat convincingly he will be better than the last dude.
