Live-action, as in the Scooby-Doo movies with Freddie Prinze/Sarah Michelle Gellar/Matthew Lillard/Linda Cardellini (who actually made Velma Dinkley majorly hot.)

Ahh, I see, thank you.

Still. *cringes*

LEAVE MY CHILDHOOD CARTOONS ALONE YOU BASTARDS!

John Cleese as Bob FTW!

I love John Cleese :) He's always and by far been my favorite Python ;D Plus, he was just funny as the voice of King Harold the latent frog in Shrek 2 and 3 :)

It's stuff like this that makes me wish we had a video or even just audio recording of Jim reading advance chapters of SmF at PhauxCon in '07. When we heard Jim do Bob's voice... man, there ain't no goin' back from that. He IS Bob. The manic glee that infuses his Bob-voice just can't be equalled.

Well, in that case...

Can we, for the sake of perfect fantasy casting, just make Jim the voice of Bob?

Shecky, is this your way of subtly angling us to pick your choices? ;D

There's nothing subtle about it. I've been campaigning for this for almost three years. :D

Dude, it works.

I'm of the opinion, that if you just bombard people with what you want repetitively, eventually they will either A.) give in to your choice to shut you up or B.) attack you with THEIR choice to shut you up.

For instance -- I like Erica Cerra, but she's Italian. I don't want her to play Susan. Even if it IS Jim's choice. Sorry Jim :-\

ETA: It just occurred to me that if she doesn't play Susan, she could play Anastasia. Just throwing it out there.

Oh. She is?  :o

Well she's passed off being latin in Eureka, since Jo is supposed to be hispanic, right?

Yeah, I usually have another choice besides Jim's, even though I like call of his choices so far.  8)

What are Jim's choices, and where did you all find them?

I mean I know from this thread so far that Jim's choices are:

Harry = Alexis Denisof
Susan = Erica Cerra
Morgan = Clancy Brown

What are the rest, just out of curiousity.

I have no idea, Blue, I don't watch Eureka  :-X Sorry!

And according to the trivia section on her IMDB page, she's of Italian descent :) I have a problem with actors portraying what they aren't, for some reason. It's through no fault of the actor, but my brain relies on rote -- I read what the character description is, and in my head, I perfect the image. For me, Susan needs to be portrayed by a Latina, and Anastasia needs to be portrayed (at least as an older woman) by someone who is Italian, because that is where her character was born, that is where her character lived, and that is who she is, up until the Corpsetaker stole her body. And then she needs to be portrayed by someone else, because now she's a tiny little curly-brown-haired American girl with an Italian woman's brain, lol.

I have no idea. I do, however, know that Jim originally wanted to cast a mid-1980s Carrie Fisher in the role of Murphy.... although it's entirely possible that he was messing with people's heads. It WAS about four years ago when he said it :)

I understand what you're saying. But hey, it isn't bad as the version of Susan they had on the TV show.  :-\

As for Clancy Brown, I remember seeing it in the casting thread somewhere.
