'Game of Thrones' Alfie Allen: 'I'd love to play Arya Stark'

Alfie Allen has revealed which actors he would have loved to have portrayed in Game of Thrones.

Allen plays Theon Greyjoy in the HBO series, who was taken hostage by Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) and was raised along with the Stark family. Greyjoy, who becomes close friends with Eddard's eldest son Robb Stark (Richard Madden), is the son of Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide).

"It's so boring, though," Allen told The Mary Sue. "Because everyone really likes her. I love Arya (Maisie Williams), but [she's] everyone's choice. I love Arya's character."

Allen also said that he would like to play Melisandre of Asshai (Carice van Houten) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage).

The English actor also discussed how he approaches his "complex character".

"I try to play the part as honestly as I can," Allen shared. "I've been living with Robb Stark for almost four years now. In my brain, Arya is my sister; Bran is my brother.

"So, I can react to them in a very honest way, it just gets complicated sometimes because the lines get blurred."
