Perfect Casting, part 2

[tiny[but]fierce]

*surpresses gag reflex*

I'm not denying he looks the part.  Just gag at the picture.

Yeah.... you're not gonna find many women agreeing with you there, Jon

[Warden John Marcone]

Got two.  My Sis and Mother both just said eww.

[j3nnee]

Well I wouldn't say "drama", I think "suspense" more accurately describes it.

I'm so dense... I only just noticed the actual Asian characters you cast with White people *chuckles*

I think Geoffrey Rush would make an excellent Erl King.
It just hit me since he's on SyFy now as that dutchman pirate in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie

Dutchman pirate...?

I think you're thinking of Bill Nighy. He played Davy Jones, the captain of the Flying Dutchman. Geoffrey Rush played Hector Barbossa, Sparrow's former first mate that jacked the Black Pearl out from under him

I like Ron Perlman for the Erl King because I picture the Erl King looking like this. It's tough to find a good image of Hellboy with the Crown of the Apocalypse.


Which reminds me, the Drow Elf dude in this was awesome too (way cooler than Legolas).


Anyone here ever read R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy?

I just picture the Erlking looking more like a Teutonic Knight... something like this:



To that end, the actor underneath the armour isn't entirely in need of having huge acting chops - the Erlking could very well be CGI in his appearances.

Until Changes, anyway

Dude, that is so awesome.

[Sihnon]

I like that too!  Very cool!

[MoSeS]

I totally agree with the armor.

However like you said, later they may need to have decent actor for the part.

I know Erlking roughly translates to

Sorry I realize that is kind of SPOILERY.

Actually Erlking in German is Erlkonig, which is "Alder King".  It was a mistranslation, the original Danish word was Elvrkonge or ElfKing.  Which, I guess, means you're right.  And yes the Erlking is the king of the

So if we take some of that Teutonic Knight armor that miketh suggested, and throw it on Perlman, I think we would have our Erlking, because let's face it, Perlman doesn't even really need much make-up to look like a goblin.

Well, how I picture one anyway.

[Warden John Marcone]

Just a few scars and disfigurations, per Hollywood Magic Makeup, and we have our Der Erlkonig

[MoSeS]

Of course, there is also this Goblin King.

I just noticed it looks like his hands are missing?
