Krypton! You should see it.

Also, how old are we talking?

Still too much gravitas for dapper.  There's a certain devil-may-care foppishness invoked in bitching about fashion as an alternative to gallows humor.  Put another way, he needs to be stylish without being a default authority figure, which is more of what I consider Colin Salmon's wheelhouse.


FWIW Ive only seen Salmon in Arrow, which was a character that never got more carefree than a sad, burdened half-smile.  So I may just be underestimating his range.
He usually plays characters with a commanding presence.  But that's kind of how I picture Steed.  Your take on him seems more foppish than mine.  I took him as concerned about his appearance, but no more than your typical British gentleman.  And his use of Casual capital Letters struck me as more "assumed British superiority" than "foppish dandy".

Ya, my read was definitely more on the foppish side of it; still competent in the extreme, but the sort of guy that puts effort into being disarmingly charming, who doesnt want the first impression to be a commanding presence or anything so formidable.  Which makes sense since he's a chronomancer that makes the rest of the council nervous.  I pictured him more the sort of guy that surprises the hell out of people when he whips a sword out of his cain and actually knows how to use it.

Siddig el Fadil aka Dr. Bashir from Deep Space Nine would be good as Nic. He was recently in Game of Thones, too. He’s still very handsome and charming.

Thanks for the DS9 mention. I saw him on Gotham and thought, "Man, he looks familiar."

LOL! I am too much a trekker to have problems identifying the main actors and so I tend to imagine everyone is like me  :). He goes by Alexander Siddig since years ago, but he will always be Siddig el Fadil for me.

I was the opposite.

I want him for Rashid. 

I'm leaning more towards Crispen Glover for Nicodemus now that my old choice (Robert Knepper) has been accused of things.



Glover (and Knepper) work as Nicodemus for me because they just look like bad guys.  Even if they're lovely in real life, they look evil.  And that's how I imagine Nico looking after centuries of being evil; he can act nice, but he's not fooling anyone.

Eh...no.
I really don't like your choices for Harry and Thomas. No problems with the others.

Okay, Guy Pierce? Not a chance -.-
I don't like your choice of Marcone either. TBH, I think Benedict Cumberbatch with all grey hair would do much better in that role.
