Smells about right, and we have a nose for these sorts of things here at House Gatewatch. So when bottom-supporter James linked us the client CV of one Andy Beckwith in the latest Quick Hits post, we did a little digging.
Looks legit! Beckwith is a consummate character actor known for rough-and-tumble roles, having appeared in movies such as Snatch, Unleashed, and two of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Beckwith is repped by Shepperd-Fox, and unless someone screwed with their website (and Beckwith’s page), this is legit.
He’s also not the guy who played Rorge for approximately eight seconds in season one’s finale, Fire and Blood. (No, that’s not Liam Neeson either.) Which means Rorge is the first Game of Thrones character played by two different actors on screen. Or at least the first we’ve learned of. Tuck that away somewhere, trivia buffs!
Fire And Blood: I personally remember Beckwith in Jet Li’s Unleashed—pretty fierce dude! I’m not surprised they re-cast, especially if the first guy was just an extra they yanked aside to stick prosthetics on his nose. Speaking of the nose, it will be interesting to see whether or not HBO decides to go with the completely noseless version. My guess is not, but who knows?
Only the nose knows.
Pre-order your AStB t-shirt and win a Stark shield keychain
As we previously announced, the Winter-Is-Coming.net Merchandise site has launched. You can pre-order the official Always Support the Bottom t-shirt now. We will be placing the order for the shirts soon, so get your pre-order in to be sure you receive a tee!
To sweeten the pot a bit, we are going to be giving away a Stark shield keychain to 5 lucky folks who pre-order their AStB shirts. So if you want a shirt, you should order one (or more!) now to have a chance at winning a keychain. Every shirt ordered will be considered an entry, so the more you order the better chance you have of winning. And based on the number of orders so far, your odds of winning are already pretty good.
The shirts will be shipping out in late September. As we noted before, if you will be attending TitanCon and would like to wear your shirt there, place your pre-order now and then send us an email letting us know you’d like to pick your shirt up at the con and we will have it ready and waiting for you.
For the ladies, we hope to have women’s sizes available eventually. However these shirts are fairly slim fit, so if you can’t wait and want a shot at a keychain, a medium or small should prove wearable. Here is the sizing chart and also a photo of a size small shirt on an average-sized woman.
