Murphy:  Renee O'Connor!  She was Gabriella in Xena.   She got Really Good martial-arts-wise by the end of the series.  Significantly better than Lucy Lawless (Xena) who tends to be a bit clumsy (I've heard).  The Story Goes that they had to be careful how much of her they showed of Renee or the Side Kick would be showing up The Main Character.

No luck finding later-seasons videos of her fighting on youtube, but I have no doubt she could pull it off.

And Fidelacchius is a Katana.  Couldn't have come up with a much better picture if I'd wanted.

I pictured him as Michael.  It's not as if he'd be a stranger to swinging a sword to and fro (as has been pointed out previously in this thread).

That's true, but i can't personally see Mr.Butler as Michael. I just picture him differently. Maybe, a little Brad Pittish .... with his hair harder and bearded with gray. And James Franco .... comes to mind for Thomas. Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood or Michael Caine as Ebenezer.... maybe, their thiner than i imagine him. Maybe, Harrison Ford would be a cool Michael, but too old. Don't hate me for my choices .... i know everyone pictures them differently. I never really thought about casting before thread. I wouldn't even know where to start with Harry .... he's just the way he is in my head.

This would work.

What about Tricia Helfer as Gard? Actually, I could also see her as Lash.

Yeah, Tricia Helfer was who I picked as Gard in my full casting of the books.

I cast almost everyone in the books a few pages back in this thread (around page 270 or so, I think).  I've seen a lot of good suggestions since then.  Might update it with some of the new folks people have suggested.

Lash can be cast with a different actress as needed.

Of course, I would find it particularly funny if Marion Cotillard was to play Lash (or Lash's voice).

I like the idea of Tricia Helford as Lash, too - she's obviously very good at the "I'm in your head but I'll still fuck with you" role.

And I always see Famke Johansen (sp?) as Lea. When she releases her inner psycho, it is FUN to watch.
