When the Greatcoats is inevitably made into a series of movies (I would love this), who plays Falcio? I like Chris Pratt or John Simm and my wife likes Chris Hemsworth or Matt Damon. I think all four have the ability to play a man with great moral integrity along with the comedic moments. We both feel that HBO or any other huge network would be thrilled to make this as a follow up to GOT. Good luck.

I'd be, of course, delighted for the Greatcoats to become a film or television series. However while there's always talk of such things, talk is all it is until a deal is signed (actually, even that's just the first hurdle.)
Your choices for Falcio are interesting ones that I hadn't considered – strong actors all of them. Part of me really likes the idea of Martin Freeman as Falcio. He's such an outstanding actor and I've no doubt could pick up the physicality of it, and I think his sense of humour and pathos would bring the darker parts of the story to life. I'm also a fan of Tom Burke, but given he just wrapped up the Musketeers, I doubt he'd be looking for a similar role again.
Alas, right now any Greatcoats movies are all about crossed fingers and wishing on stars!

Thank you. I understand. I was thinking of the Greatcoats purpose of dispensing justice to those who otherwise would get none and how many stories they could tell? Yes, Michael is very protective of his Riyria characters, Hadrian and Royce and has said that he will write new stories of their exploits as long as readers ask for more or until it feels that Riyria have said all they can say.
