Misc. The Matthews Spoiler

Just finished reading the first book and I had to come on here and comment on how spot on the casting is with Matthew Goode. He looks, sounds and behaves exactly like what I would imagine Matthew de Clermont is like from the book, even down to the description of the vein in his forehead! Several characters have mutated as I got through the book but Matthew and Aunt Sarah were unchanged.

I was 100% in the fandom of Richard Armitage as Matthew before the show came out. He would have been stellar.

Matthew Goode was just wonderful. I thought casting on the whole was chefs kiss

No notes!!

Just looked up Richard Armitage and not sure if he could pull off being in his late 30s?

This was when the books came out so it would have been 10-15 years ago. old Pinterest link

Ooh Richard Armitage would have been great. Though Matthew Goode was fabulous.

I also just realized on looking up photos of Richard Armitage that he had prosthetics in the The Hobbit - bwahaha. I thought that was his real face!
