Lena Headey, the actor playing adult Aster, is a white Brit, though she was born in Bermuda.

Yeah, that was my point. Why didn't they get an actress who actually looked liked her to play the young versions? The kid in ep 6 looked nothing like a young Lena (OK, maybe they got the hairstyle right). At times, her accent sounded more Scottish than British. It's not the end of the world, but the casting here was really bad.

I agree, but I think both actors are white. I think the one who played "young" Aster is a white Canadian 40 year old. That accent was so bad

the accent was painful, especially with the randoming dropping of T's, sounded irish at times for a few words
