Hair color can be easily fixed, GW.
I'm just not fond of her facial features.
I see Charity as having somewhat more angular features.

It's not only the hair. Charity should be more nordic, IMO.
I like "Ellen" a lot, just, not as Charity.

What Dina said.  Charity should be more Nordic in looks.

Plenty to choose from in all the Scandinavian thriller we have on TV, but it goes against most peoples idea of Charity looking like somebody who has spent her life bearing and looking after children (not trying to start a riot here just stating other peoples opinion). The woman who is in the Scandinavian version of The Killing (series two here next week) would be good but she is model (as in Miranda Kerr not Barbie) thin.

BTW Snow I see you are nearing 10000 posts. Celebrations on planet Weird next week ;D ;D

This week, md!
And Shecky introduced a new category  :)
I think in Charity as a nordic model, retired of course, as she is not so young now.

And making armor and being her husband's sparring partner often enough to be able to run up a flight of stairs and then swing a war hammer... Just saying.
My pick would be Carrie Fisher when she was younger. Sadly impossible, I know. I don't know who I would cast if production were starting tomorrow or something.

Kristanna Loken isn't a bad choice, looks-wise. I don't think she could actually play the character, though. Maybe you've seen something I haven't, but from what I've seen her in she has the emotional range of a dishrag.

True, we need to combine her looks with Perkins' personality  :)

Just had a thought for Carlos Ramirez.
How about Lou Diamond Phillips.
He might be a touch old but he can do serious and he really can do cocky.
He also can act.

So can Enver Gjokaj, and he isn't too old.

I hate to reply to myself, but... I watched a couple episodes of Sherlock last night, and I was really struck by the lead. He had great presence and this amazing voice with a casual hint of growl in it. At times his skin looked too smooth to be real, and so pale as to almost glow under the right light. His eyes were gorgeous and either gray or a very light green. His hair was dark and grew in loose ringlets.

Well, you can probably guess what my thought was...

Yes, he is very good. For those more senior people he is the son of Wanda Ventham (UFO).

While I think currently that "Captian Tightpants" would be great, I was just thinking that Scott Glenn would have made a great Harry.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.
