Perfect Casting, part 2

I'm still suck on Famke Janssen as Lara Raith.

I always thought that whilst Molly is attractive (she's a good guy, and so OFC she is), she wouldn't be celebrity level. She'd be attractive because she's a fit girl, who takes care of herself, and is reasonably powerful in her own right - she isn't a wallflower personality.

I don't have any recs for what I'm thinking she looks like though. Maybe 16, 7, 4,3 or (my choice) 2, from http://www.2dorks.com/gallery/2007/0425-sexiestathletes/index.shtml

Although that's more bodytype/general figure than actual person to select - maybe for Charity instead?

I always had the impression, based on how Harry (and Jim, by extension) describes her, that she is supposed to be gorgeous.  Decidedly not a wallflower personality, but gorgeous.  Definitely fit and takes care of herself, but smokin' hot either way.

It's difficult to resort to mere words, and not the hand signals and such that comes with IRL friendship (had this discussion with someone last night).

Yes, she's gorgeous, but natural with it. You'd turn your head for a second glance (maybe even a third and a linger), but the awesomeness that is her attractivness comes from her normally.

D'ya kinda get what I'm trying to say?

[habu987]

Ooh, how about Robert Knepper as Nicodemus?

[Tempus Corvus]

Hm. Haven't seen him in anything, but going purely on appearance he might work.

[habu987]

I've seen him in Prison Break and the pretty terrible last season of Heroes.  He can play a malevolent character pretty darn well!

Last Night the Wife and I were walking about the Movie when and if it comes out My suggestion for Mab was viewed by her as way too old was Sian Phillips she played the grandmother in the old I Claudius my wife suggest Alice Krieg who played the Borg Queen in first Contact.

OMG.    Sian Phillips was the best Livia Augusta ever.

Fwiw, I think Lena Headey's role in GoT is a good lead-in to playing Mab.

And, may I say it, there is someone absolutely perfect about an id "bellmaker" posting in a Perfect Casting thread.

David Tennant...I'm unfamiliar with that actor... 

As far as acting is concerned, I think he would make a phenomenal Harry, but unfortunately, he can't pull off the physicality of the role, I don't think.

Have you seen him as Hamlet?  I think he can.

In terms of acting, DT would be my pick, hands down. 

He's just not physically imposing enough for me to see him as Harry, unfortunately.  If he grew 8 inches or so, he'd be a perfect match for the book description of Harry.

They did a sort of longshoreman thing for him in Hamlet that worked for a tough guy image, and he was definitely physical.   More physical than the guy that played Laertes, fwiw.

I don't think DT for Harry but he'd make a great Butters.

The Bellmaker name is a play on my real last name.

[Figging Mint]

A fortunate coincidence, then.   I saw that  word play and ventured into a corner of the forums I'd never before visited.
