"I'm a Lannister, Suck Me Off": Casting Call for Game of Thrones Flasher
Once Game of Thrones came to an agreement with a Croatian church to lock down the filming location for Cersei Lannister’s naked walk of shame, and secured a body double for Lena Headey, there was only one thing missing from one of the most important scenes of the season 5 finale: a guy to flash his dick and shout “I’m a Lannister, suck me off!”
On Sept. 30, a casting agency sent out an urgent call for any Caucasian males between the ages of 25 and 50 willing to unsheath their Valyrian steel and hurl obscenities at the disgraced dowager queen.
The right man had to be willing to fly from London to Croatia the next morning, and had to be “happy and confident with full frontal nudity in a crowded scene.” Don’t: Have abnormal-looking junk or piercings. Do: Have pubic hair.
They also promised the actor would be standing with another flasher, in case he wasn’t comfortable doing it alone. But, as you can see above, that turned out not to be necessary. They ended up with a plucky, well-endowed actor named Munro Graham, who brought everything you could hope for to the crucial role of “King’s Landing Nudist.”
Here’s the entire email, which lists the pay for flashing duty as “£990.98 plus travel, fittings and holiday pay.” It was posted on Reddit by someone who didn’t get the part.
“A little moment in a major scene,” indeed.
