Perfect Casting Part Three

[Quantus]

Warden Carlos Ramirez (bearded and beardless versions):

He would have been perfect back in the day, but he's 51 now...

Id be ok with Carlos Valdez (aka Cisco from The Flash tv show) as somebody suggested, for the fast-talking personality, but on pure looks I think he needs to be more of a pretty boy.

Just caught Age of Dragons on Syfy, and in tribute, I once again cast Sofia Pernez as Susan Rodriguez.

[Dina]

Diego Luna as Ramirez?


For me, Susan has always been Alicia Coppola, but she may be a touch old now. So perhaps Erica Cerra is still the main candidate. I think she could play Bianca too.

Harry Dresden: Charlie Cox
Karrin Murphy: Kristen Bell
Detective Carmichael: John Doman
Susan Rodriguez: Rosario Dawson
John Marcone: Wentworth Miller

Carlos Valdés has both the looks and the personality for Carlos Ramirez. Plus I get the sense he could play a badass if needed.

I had Carlos in my head with more lean angular features than Valdes has in Flash.  But that's just me.

I picture Carlos as more like Richard Cabral.

[Denarian]

I can see it. :-)

I see Carlos as more "nerdy".  He's certainly written that way.  He's just better than hiding it than most.  I think Bratt would work--old is less of an issue with Hollowbold makeup skills and CGI.

Ebenezar McCoy (the Blackstaff):



And he does a variety of accents, including hillbilly.  Occasional lapses into Scottish shouldn't be a problem.

I think he'd be a much better Ortega.

From his descriptions I see Ortega more like dis (S. M. Quezada):

I thought Ortega was supposed to be a conquistador.  I think Bratt looks closer to that than Quezada.

How about Danny Trejo as the Red King?

[Denarian]

I'm still sticking with Javier Bardem as Ortega. That guy is menacing as hell. And ironically looks older than Penelope Cruz, whom I cast as Ariana.

I'd be down with Bardem, but not Cruz.  Arianna has always been a little more... arrogant and assuming then I've ever seen Cruz do well.  More like Zeta-Jones.
