OMG you guys, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been cast as Jaime Lannister in HBO's series of George RR Martin's ASOIAF!

Okay, so I'll be MORE excited when the series makes it to later seasons and Jaime gets reeeeally interesting. But even so. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau! *sigh*

I didn't recognize the name, then Googled, then OMG!

Yeah. I've had a thing for him since he played one of the two Deltas who sacrifice themselves to help get other downed men out in Black Hawk Down.

You remember that from BHD too?

I have seen that movie many times. It's a great movie, and I love the Delta guys. The one who calls home and misses talking to his wife for the last time by like, a second, kills me every time.

*Edited for appropriate icon.

I loved him in New Amsterdam. Squee!

I know! My only issue with this news, is he looks kind of a lot like Sean Bean, who is playing Ned Stark (SQUEE!), and it's kind of weird that Jamie will be looking a little like he could be Ned's son...

I've never read any of Martin's books, even though people have been telling me to do so for years. I admit it, I'm shallow, and I'm going to barnes & noble tomorrow.
