Perfect Casting, part 2

[Griffyn612]

Less than brief pause as I 'ralph up' my dinner.
Urgh - I hope you're joking.  That's just wrong and I suspect she
may have had extra help in getting that body.
(I'm not fond of male bodybuilders either for that matter.  They, I'm sorry if I offend, look freakish.)
I prefer the kind of body you get on a swimmer.

How about this one?

Well if we're just talking about how we see them, as opposed to actual casting...

Who says there's a difference? Obviously, if you were a casting director, it would be at least a little about how you see them. I've cast a great many characters in my head, and can watch the books play out like a movie with my cast in my imagination. (Even though some of them are too old or passed away.) That makes my cast my perfect cast.

I always saw Katee Sackhoff as Gard.

Eh, I see Tricia Helfer more as Gard than Katee Sackhoff.  Hmm, I don't seem to recall Gard wearing a slinky red dress, though...

Not that she couldn't, of course

Tricia Helfer can be badass, but it's in a very different way than Katee Sackhoff is badass. Tricia's less physically intimidating and more kind of mind-games intimidating; I would see her more as a manifestation of Laciel.

If we want someone who can kick ass for Gard, might I suggest Uma Thurman?

[bellmaker]

For Gard I will admit she is short by for pure Ass kick Milla Jovovich from  the Fifth element.

If we want someone who can kick ass for Gard, might I suggest Uma Thurman?

Sorry, but she just looks spindly feeble.   She might be able to wield a 2lb styrofoam ax painted silver, or an aluminum katana as in  Kill Bill.     Take on a Grendelkin?  Errr, no.

I'd have to see fitness and muscle at least comparable to what the Williams sisters have to cast someone for Gard.

Fair point.

As for all the discussion about Sean Maher as Marcone; what about casting him as Tilly? As far as I know, no one's tried to cast him yet.

[Ziggelly]

How about Maria Sharapova then, looks-wise, for Gard? She's tall, blonde, athletic, striking... and you can see her kicking ass.

[Snowleopard]

Not Uma Thurman for Gard, sorry.
