Nicodemous



Because i don't see nic as being old

Nicodemous



Because i don't see nic as being old

I seem to remember that Nic was described as somewhat middle-aged, like mid thirties to early forties. He has a bit of grey hair, from what I remember.

[Warden John Marcone]

You see, GW, v this guy doesn't scare me.

This guy v on the other hand...

scares the ever-loving p*$$ out of me when he gets his horror on.  Get my meaning?

[shades of grey]

Ooooooh yes.

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

I think if you saw this guy in action you would agree with me

[Cipher]

I'm sorry, when I think "middle-aged"  I think late 40's early 50's, not 30's.  (I'm approaching 40 for goodness sake, I don't recall seeing a hill yet so I don't think I'm over it.) 

[Tempus Corvus]

Fair enough. Still, someone older than whoever the dude from Burn Notice is. I'd go with Timothy Dalton over Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins, while an amazing actor, is just too recognizable. Dalton, on the other hand, isn't quite as well known. Plus, I think Dalton would be more convincing with a sword than Hopkins. But to each his own.

I guess the "Perfect" person for Nicodemus would be some sort of fusion of Anthony Hopkins, Alan Rickman, and Timothy Dalton.

Has anyone considered Dwayne Johnson for Sanya? He has the build, a good sense of humour, and his acting ability is not bad.

*ducks behind a wall and waits for the inevitable*

[Contrarius]

I wouldn't mind him doing one of the parts, but to me -- and this may come out sounding racist somehow or other -- he isn't black enough for Sanya. I want an actor who really seriously and truly looks like he would never belong in Russia. The Rock is more Samoan looking than anything....

of course he isn't black enough , he is samoan! not of african descent. but I did think of him for Sanya.
great now I've forgotten what I was going to suggest.

[exartiem]

I thought of the Rock for Sanya too.  Then someone brought up Isaiah Mustafa.  That did it for me.
BTW, Rocky Johnson, Dwayne's dad, was a very black man.

Noryuki "Pat" Morita cannot be Shiro, as he died several years ago.  I don't know if Mako (from the Conan movies) is still alive.  If still kicking, he'd get my vote.

I could see Liam Neeson as NIcodemus.

[DoTArchon]

I could see Liam Neeson as NIcodemus.

I've always thought Neeson would make a perfect Marcone. Cool, confident, ruthless. Nicodemus is too menacing for Neeson. I agree with

Alan Rickman or Timothy Dalton can do menace. As can Al Pacino. Those would be my three contenders for Nick

[Me Grimlock King]

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

or


Djimon Hounsou

for sanya, i picture one of these two guys

[Bujin]

Noryuki "Pat" Morita cannot be Shiro, as he died several years ago.  I don't know if Mako (from the Conan movies) is still alive.  If still kicking, he'd get my vote.

Mako died in 2006, during the time that he was doing voice-work for Avatar.
