Quite true. The casting of GoT has helped a great deal. Characters that were boring or grating in the books - have become interesting and mesmerizing due to casting.
Davos in particular, but this is also true - of Melisandra, definitely of Stannis, Bran (and everyone with him - the guy playing Hodor is amazing, as are Jojen and Mereen), Theon (okay maybe not - that character just isn't salvagable nor is Ramsey Snow or Daario for that matter - no matter who they cast), Margery (Natalie Dormier), Sansa, Little Finger (the great Aiden - who was in The Wire), and Jorah Mormount..
I agree, I am shipping Jorah/Dany, and I did not ship them in the books at all.
Whoever is casting this thing deserves an award. Best Cast Series Ever.
