Barristan Selmy
Hi folks! Trying to get back in the groove. Where we left off, I was posting some of the many folks who round out Dany’s POV in Essos. Ser Barristan is a valued councilor to the young queen, of course, and eventually gets his own POV chapters~
If you can’t tell, the show’s choice of actor had a big impact on this portrait. I think Ian McElhinney embodied the role perfectly. As I’m one of those folks who started the series with season one of GoT and then rapidly consumed the books, I end up picturing this casting choice in my head for Barristan… He’s got that honorable grandpa vibe imo!
