Perfect Casting, part 2

[DeaSis]

Richard Burgi, Gentleman John Marcone

I haven't seen him act.  It could be that he can pull off cold and calculating fine, but he just seems so... GQ.  He looks more like a 007 who can make hard calls if he needs to, but not a hardened kind of guy if you catch the difference.

Chris Meloni for Marcone.
He has no problem being bad ass or nice.

Richard Burgi, Gentleman John Marcone

Burgi plays a good badguy, but to me he's not cold enough.

Chris Meloni for Marcone.
He has no problem being bad ass or nice.

Same with Meloni.  He could be a convincing bad guy, but he doesn't look to have the ability to give people chills just looking at them.

To me, it has to be Adrian Pasdar.  He has the ability to be charming, serious, passionate, and down-right dead-eyed cold when need be.  He can look like he's dead inside, which is how I picture Marcone.



My team Marcone, with Pasdar as Marcone, Debrah Farentino as Helen Beckitt, John Cena as Hendricks, and Izabella Scorupco as Gard.  Most people don't agree with Izabella as Gard, but its all a matter of impressions.

[Snowleopard]

You haven't seen Chris Meloni in OZ or in True Blood - he does icy stare just fine.
But to each their own.

I would also concede Meloni, and Eric Roberts ( though Idk if he would do another Gangster role)... I agree that He would do a great job, But allow me to defend My choice. Burgi Has also played both sides of the field. Marcone also tends to flip back and forth, Thought i think he does it for appearences. Burgi, when going intense can most of all, pull off the Marcone glare... His eyes are the color of old money and he still has the appearence of a man who is in charge, but is not scared of doing the hard work on his own.  Marcone is a paradox... He is a crime boss who feels he has a responsibility to keep the innocent out of harms way. Burgi, in my opinion, has the ability to pull off that paradox.

This is almost unrelated... I almost forgot to mention Hendrix... I, no doubt will come underfire for this, would go almost against his physical description to get his essence.... When I think of hendrix I imagine... Bill Goldburg

My mental image of Hendricks when I'm reading one of the books has always been pretty close to Butterfinger in Hudson Hawk.

[Quantus]

As far as Hendricks goes, John Cena has the blocky facial features that could work, but I had always pictured somebody wider that that.  They kind of guy that is almost disproportionately so.  More of a young Joe Viterelli, maybe.  Theres an actor out there I am thinking of, but I cant remember what ive seen him in.  It was a cop of some kind

[Kael Tucker]

Ah yes... Butterfinger... Where have you gone?  If we could only get Bruce to age in reverse and grow a few more inches, We would have Harry Dresden... Die hard 1... nuff said.

Btw, love the honorable mention on "Hudson Hawk", one of Willis's most under-rated movies... not every one loves that move... but I do.

I have it on DVD. Its one of my favorite less than serious movies.

[Warden John Marcone]

Are you guys talking Willis?  Because I always had him pegged for Mac.

Like!   

[Kael Tucker]

Hey, Not a bad Idea, or even Morgan, I know it would be a little bit of a stretch... but a burnt out wizard cop with a vendetta against someone... Kinda makes you scratch your head.  And griffyn, your guy does fit the part of a younger marcone, but the part will call for someone a little bit more seasoned.  Also, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on the voice of bob. I know his name has been brought up for Nicodemus, I think he can bring more to playing the voice of bob... Alan Rickman.  Now as fa as Nicodemus goes, I would love to see the man who always does evil angel best, Chris Walken

[Quantus]

So I have a challenge for this thread.  We will likely never actually settle on any one set of castings, but it has come close in one instance:  Matt Bomer as Thomas has seen something close to universal acceptance. 

So here is the challenge:  Cast his family, those that are supposed to share a family resemblance.  Who would look like a believable Harry-as-Matt-Bomer's-Brother?  Who would make a good Lara in that context?  A good Papa Raith?  How about Madrigal and Madeline?

[Dina]

Papa Wraith should look like Tom Welling, but have more charisma 
I will think in the others.

[DragonEyes]

Just cast all of the Kardassians as the various Raith sisters. Would even explain why they are famous.
