Fan Casting Stannis Baratheon in A Song of Ice and Fire

Like his brothers, Robert and Renly, Stannis is a large man - tall, broad-shouldered, and sinewy. Jon Snow notes that Stannis towers over him. Stannis has dark blue eyes and a heavy brow. His head has only a fringe of black hair "like the shadow of a crown", and he has a close-cropped beard across his large jaw. His face has a tightness to it like cured leather, and he has hollow cheeks, and thin, pale lips. He grinds his teeth regularly.
