Andy Whitfield

Andy Whitfield
It is always extremely sad when a good actor leaves us, even so when they are still young. Andy Whitfield passed away last September 11, as a result of a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

He was suggested for some roles here on Casting Sevenwaters: Bran, Johnny and Drustan, and well as the Sevenwaters brothers (this section is going through some re-designing) and was receiving a good deal of Yes-s. On the case of Bran, he had been on the lead for quite a while now.

In the case of Johnny and Drustan, his name has been withdrawn from the list. When each of the Sevenwaters brother gets a new page, his name won’t be one of the suggestions. But in the case of Bran, since he was number 1 for so long, he will be still there, but like Heath Ledger on the Eyvind page: as an Extra.

Bran | Johnny | Drustan

Bran

Bran:

“This was a face such as I had never seen before, even in the most fanciful of dreams, a face that was, in its way, a work of art. For it was light and dark, night and day, this world and the Otherworld. On the left side, the face of a youngish man, the skin weathered but fair, the eye gray and clear, the mouth well formed if unyielding in character. On all the right side, extending from an undrawn mark down the exact center, an etching of line and curve and feathery pattern, like the mask of some fierce bird of prey. An eagle? A goshawk? No, it was, I thought, a raven, even as far as the circles about the eye and the suggestion of predatory beak around the nostril. The mark of the raven. If I had not been so frightened, I might have laughed at the irony of it. The pattern extended down his neck and under the border of his leather jerkin and the linen shirt he wore beneath it. His head was completely shaven, and the skull, too, was colored the same, half-man, half-wild creature; some great artist of the inks and needle had wrought this over many days, and I imagined the pain must have been considerable.”
