George R. R. Martin is in awe of Dunk and Egg casting

Fans are eager to see what HBO has in store for Martin’s upcoming TV version of his beloved Dunk and Egg stories. Martin wrote on his blog, having also participated in the casting process:

“We have our hedge knight. And he has his squire. Peter Claffey will play Dunk. He’s a former professional rugby player turned actor. And he’s tall. Ok, maybe not quite as tall as Ser Duncan the Tall, but still plenty tall, and with the magic of television… His readings were terrific. I think you’re going to love him.
