[×] [o] shellie2: Maybe it is a small cameo role that he could have filmed when he was home in Scotland for the Christmas Holiday this past December?

It'll be interesting to see if this is accurate.

The GoT fans have their doubts... so do I actually. But who knows....

got-forums.com/game-of-thrones-news/237-stannis-has-been-chosen.html

From the little I can find out it seems the character is going to make an appearance on tomorrow's episode so those of you with HBO.... make sure to watch...

If it is true... wow.... they were truly great in keeping it secret from both us Gerry fans and the GoT fans.

We probably should delete this thread in a few days... but for now, here is what Shellie posted in the c-box:

GA the moderator of that fan site just posted this - lol it looks like this is a joke. Someone messing with the imdb page. Gerard Butler is not Stannis.

As popular as Gerry is with the press/media right now, with them grasping onto every little tidbit about him, it looks like if this were true, it would have been all over the media/Internet/press, since Game of Thrones is one of HBO's biggest projects. There would have been Google alerts, Tweets, FB entries, SOMEBODY would have known about this before now, the day he's supposed to be in this one episode. Also, when would he have gone to Ireland/Northern Ireland to film this? I would think that somebody would have know that as well before now. There is too much doubt on the validity of this news. Those of you who have HBO and can watch this tonight, please let us know. I know it's not impossible, Gerry has surprised us before (re: he had been working on RockNRolla for weeks before anyone knew anything at all about it or him being involved with it). So it's not an IMpossibility, just an IMprobability...time will tell.

Peace out...

I watch the show every week so we will see. Hummm, I'm doubting it but who knows... It would be a pleasant surprise.

Here is an interesting little tid bit... also in the episode Gerry is rumored to be in is an actor named Charles Dance. The most interesting thing about him is that he made a two-part mini-series in the early 90ies called... drumroll.... The Phantom of the Opera! And you guess it.... Charles played Erik, the Phantom!!! So if the rumor would be true we'd have two Phantoms in that episode. How cool would that be!

By the way, that POTO TV series is really good! Worth checking out!

It was only a rumour, but a very good one that created quite a buzz around the web... many fans of the show (myself included) are dissapointed...

When you play the "Game of Thrones," you win or you die -- and, as fans of the HBO series know, a lot of the Season 1 cast definitely didn't win.

The causality-filled final episodes have cleared room for the addition of new characters from the books (and actors to play them) when the series returns in Spring 2012. And the day after the finale, a possible goof on the series' IMDB page has people wondering if Gerard Butler is joining the cast.

Warming Glow points out the "300" actor is currently credited as playing Stannis Baratheon on the series. And while Stannis, the oldest brother of felled king Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy), will likely find his way into Season 2 storylines -- but he won't be played by Butler.

HBO confirms to Zap2it that Butler's addition to the cast is not true, so you can probably credit this to IMDB's communal editing policy and a bored, hopeful fan.

Damn, that's a shame. He would totally fit in this series. I watched it all in a few days and can't wait for season 2.

[KissmeGerry]

Don't know if it was mentioned, but did anyone notice the actress that plays the Queen played King Leonidis's wife in 300! I tell ya, Gerry connections EVERYWHERE!

I was hoping to watch GoT (I rather like Charles Dance) it's just typical that it was shown in the UK on a channel that doesn't air on cable Hopefully it might appear on another channel at some point.

I agree GA, the POTO series was good.
