Yeah, you got me.

...well...

You know that's the original reasoning I got

Uriel and TWG/C mixed together as Uriel himself? He's not creator level power... but is he creator identity? Mmm...

My current cosmology theory would have no trouble with the Archangels being splinter personalities/Avatar's of the Creator, in the same way that some Hindu frameworks view all gods as aspects of Brahman.

Andre Braugher as Steed or Chandler.

Andre Braugher as Steed or Chandler.

Naah, I always pictured him as a bit more on the young&dapper side. But now I really want Braugher in there somewhere.  Rawlins, or maybe La Fortier?  Could even get behind him as Morgan.

Andre Braugher would play a good Uriel in my opinion. What about Martin Freeman as Chandler?

[Dina]

I like both suggestions.

[Talby16]

For Uriel I would like some one with gravitas, but can play the straight man to Harry's humor. Based on Andre's work in Brooklyn Nine-Nine he would be great in that role.

I like Colin Salmon for Chandler.  He's got a proper gravitas that Chandler should have.  A charming confidence of self.  He doesn't conform to the textual description of Chandler, but I think he fits.

I never actually got 'Gravtias' from Chandler, he was all non-stop fashion quips and one of the first things he ever said was "“I am freezing off my well-tailored ass,”".  He ranks right up there with Binder as an unapologetic cultural stereotype.

Colin Salmon is certainly acceptable to me as Chandler.

Maybe gravitas isn't what I'm looking for.  Maybe supercilious without the arrogance?  That thing some Brits can do where they can likeably get away with saying, "Yes, because I'm British."

I kinda want somebody like Matt Bomer without actually being Thoma- I mean Matt Bomer.  In the sense that Steed's defining trait to me (more than even his britishness) is that he can be obsessed with fashion while still being a badass.

Dapper.  Thats the word Im looking for:  Chandler Steed needs to exude "Dapper" from every pore

A Neil Patrick Harris, or maybe a well-groomed Orlando Jones?  or OOOh!  Taye Diggs!  Can Taye Diggs do a British accent?  Id also be fine with Chadwick Boseman playing it light and British like he did in Gods of Egypt.

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.
