Perfect Casting, part 2

Peter is my mental Malcolm.

I think Mandy Patinkin would make a good Malcolm.  I hardly recognized him when I watched Dead Like Me, but he's still a great actor, and so underused.

I could get behind that.  For that matter, after seeing this picture I might even be able to see him as McCoy

Why Batman, what big ears you have...

Had to do some serious work to figure out what picture you were talking about.  I don't think I see him as McCoy, though.

granted he's still not my first choice (for mccoy i picture a bald, slightly overweight Robert Duval, personally).   But if you take this picture (hope the link works better this time) just with the top of his head shaved, I think he could do it.  He certainly has the force of personality Id want from Ebenezer. 



And Like you said, He is an underrated actor and Id love to see him get more work.

I picture Nick Searcy (currently on Justified) as McCoy.

If he wasn't dead, I'd have picked Don S. Davis from Statgate SG-1

Dude, Nick Searcy is an excellent choice. He's not quite as old as I picture Eb, but it's still well within the reach of makeup and performance to get it right. Although, now you've brought it up, I just want a scene in the books with Eb talking about a Warden stiffy.

And if I had to pick someone with more star power than Gorham (but to his credit, he'd probably be fairly cheap), I would most definitely go Olyphant. If we're going to skew older, dude has already shown he can pull off self-destructive wiseassery pretty much perfectly.

[Quantus]

If I try reeeeeally hard to be objective, I could probably see Searcy, but it would be one of those things you have to get used to (Like Amanda Tapping with a British accent).  My problem with him is just that I havent seen him in anything since he was the a**hole in Seven Days. 

Speaking of, I think Jonathan LaPaglia could make a pretty decent Nic.  Give him a few years or some age make-up and he'd make a great Marcone too...

Just because I like to bring it up every once in a while for new people.

Nicodemos.

[Gilitine_Memitim]

I've never considered it before, but yes. I could see it actually.

Jeffery Donovan is awesome. And especially the episode that those come from/  Make me see him as Nic in my head.

[Quantus]

I can see that, sure.  I think I picture nick as a little more gauntly chiseled in my head, but as far as acting chops go he fits that character quite well

  He does so much good acting within the show. He plays a character who acts. Which I find quite phenomenal when people do that./

Nicodemos.

YES. No arguments here, that's first choice casting right there.

Is there anything we can give Bruce Campbell? Just because I feel he should be in all the things.
