30* CastTheRunnerUp: [[invoked]] He was the main runner-up to play HeroicBastard Jon Snow, ironically later being cast as the ultimate BastardBastard Ramsay.
31* PrettyBoy: In ''towering'' contrast to his how his character in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' was described in the books. One might argue that it only serves to make Ramsay more unsettling.

33* TypeCasting: [[invoked]]Following Ramsay's gruesome departure from ''Game of Thrones'', Iwan almost immediately signed on to portray ''UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler'', and later Maximus the Mad.
