What do we think of him for Vaderrung?

I was thinking the guy that played Jeor Mormont from GoT.

He feels too old to me for Vadderung, who's suppose to be lean and athletic in his early 50's. Perfect for Kringle, though.
Dina:
I don't see your point. He is 55. and athletic enough. A touch of makeup and perfect. And he does have the look of a Nordic God. Nothing to do with Santa.

I think you're thinking of the guy who played Jorah Mormont, aka Iain Glen. He'd be perfect is all ways I can see, fits the lean & athletic build and the right norse-ness. The guy playing Jeor is James Cosmo, he's 68, and would make a good sword-wielding Santa. There's a line in changes that described Vadderung as what Santa might have been like when he was "young and played football", which makes me think the Santa actor should be noticeably older than the Vadderung. And I myself tend to think Vadderung shoudl look less...weathered than Cosmo

Dina:
You are correct. I remember both characters distinctly well, but I didn't remember the name of the older one (the one who gave Claw to Jon Snow). The Mormonts are the best! But I didn't remember he was called Jeor, so I assumed that wardenferry post meant Jorah and that Jeor was a nickname, like Ned to Eddard.
