Perfect Casting, part 2

[stitchy1503]

I actually do think Denzel Washington could pull off Marcone. But I am not the first to suggest something like this, someone else earlier said Michael Clarke Duncan because he was Kingpin in Daredevil.

i'm not entirely sure that either of those pull off the fatherly coach look. I did have someone in mind but i cant for the life of me remember his name heh.

I reckon colin farrell could pull off marcone. He's five ten, so i dunno about pulling off any size (i can't remember if we have a quote on marcone's size), but he is fantastic as an actor, and really does make you believe.

[Atanvarno]

Wow - oh, no. I could not disagree more - I don't think Colin Farrell is right for Marcone at all. Too young, too smirky, too self-adoring. Ucch. He was one of the worst things about Daredevil - which was a fairly awful movie all around.

[jbigelow22]

Richard Gere as Marcone.

I was thinking one of these two if not both could work out in a role but not sure which.

Nigel Bennet:

He played Lacroix in Forever Knight, has been in various shows as a side character or main character including Psi Factor and I think maybe X-Files.

Or even this guy:

Colin Fox:

This guy has been in various shows as minor and main characters. Only thought of him when I decided to check out the new CN show (don't bother to watch, it sucks) "Unnatural History." Horrible Horrible show but the actor is good if he'd been the main guy and not the stupid kids.

Huh. I've never seen this guy before, but looking at his picture, I thought, if he could put on a few more pounds, and grow a longer beard, that could be Eb!

Lily?:



Alexandra Stamler/ Allie Stamler. saw her in Role Model on hbo, just randomly thought of her as really. maybe it's just her costume in the movie. >>

My favorite role from him was Prince in Lexx. From the roles I remember most for him, I could see him pulling off Nicodemus, Can't really see him as anything not dark/evil

[sssarahdove]

I always imagine flamboyant!overthetop!ghey Thomas as Russell Brand... any other time I don't really have a clear picture of him...

okay, so i wasnt the only person that thought of thomas upon seeing russell <3

Have to disagree, Colin Farrell for Marcone is almost as bad as the suggestion of Orlando Bloom as Thomas. I really don't like either of these actors. That's why Colin Farrell played the last incarnation in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, the one that get's

I think Adrian Pasdar (from Heroes) would make a pretty good Marcone.


I also liked the Ray Wise suggestion.


Although these two are very different ages.

Adrian makes a very convincing, somewhat terrifying Marcone just from the look on his face, lol. He's more how I imagine Marcone would be if he was the typical mob gangster style dude.

I abide by Ray Wise for the role, just because he DOES look like a fatherly football coach. His eyes (though they look more blue-grey than 'green the color of worn dollar bills') have the sort of look to them that says that he can be a kind man, but can also be capable of horrific things. Maybe he's a little older than most would like for Marcone, particularly if you're imagining gun fights at the back of a compound against fifteen wolves, but for me, he's it.

It just occurred to me upon rereading the description of Murph's little sister Lisa that, whenever we collectively agree on the absolute, most awesome actress that's warrior princess-y enough to play Karrin, we need to find someone that looks enough like her that's more estrogen princess-y to play Lisa.

Mental image for Ramirez:

Enrique Murciano.

too old, though.

He played an Eb-bish character on Unnatural History.
he usually plays villains or suspicious types.
