"dude I, like, uh, know, uh, Wizardry"

lol! omg, I was thinking the same thing when I saw Keanu's pic. XD

And Jeff Bridges as Eb is brilliant, IMO. I'm remembering his turn as the "fatherly" figure turned evil corporate takeover dude in Iron Man and he definitely has the chops to do him justice. :)

Yep, that's why I picked him. Well, that and because he's Jeff Bridges.

...Why am I now imagining one of the scenes from The Big Lebowski with Walter being nuts and the dude just being totally chill, except with Morgan and Eb. Or the Merlin and Eb.

What is my brain doing? More importantly, who would be Jesus Quintana?

I think I need to get more sleep.

Someone mentioned Rutger Hauer.  I see him as Donar Vadderung.

Lance Henrickson as Simon Petrovich?

Oooh, yeah. That's a way better role for him than Lord Raith.

Why do we need a Simon?
We don't.

I like Rutger Hauer but I don't think he's Donnar.
Lord Raith yes.

Either one would work. I guess it boils down to how he looks with a beard...Donnar did have a beard, right? I don't have my copy of Changes right now, but I can't imagine Odin without one.

Brendan Gleeson as Donnar? He looks good in a beard and is heavy-set enough to fit the bill (I just do not see Odin as being skinny).

Nah. Gleeson doesn't quite fit with Odin. I don't imagine him as being skinny either, but Gleeson...he'd be better for Binder, in my opinion.

Bob=either Jim or James Marsters
Eb=Jeff Bridges
Morgan=Clancy Brown
Thomas=Matt Bomer
Merlin=Terrence Stamp or Bill Nighy
Cowl=Peter Stormare

Binder=Brendan Gleeson
Maeve=Mila Kunis
Bianca=Monica Bellucci
Nicodemus=Timothy Dalton
Kincaid=Adrien Brody or Christian Kane
Rawlins=Ruben Santiago-Hudson
Luccio 2.0=Summer Glau, or maybe Olivia Wilde
Marcone=Mark Harmon
Hendricks=Ray Stevenson (the accent could be problematic, but Hendricks doesn't talk much anyways)
Odin=Rutger Hauer? BRIAN BLESSED?
Erlking=Keith David does the voice, but when he takes off his helmet in Changes, he should look like Tom Waits.
Mac=Adam Baldwin.
Butters=Steve Buscemi
Red King=Danny Trejo
Margaret LeFay/Dresden/McCoy=Claudia Black
Sanya=Isaiah Mustafa (Old Spice Guy/The Man Your Man Could Smell Like)

That's better.

I picked Baldwin because I think he can do monosyllabic better than Bruce Willis. But either one works.

Haven't been able to think of anyone who's both young enough and the right ethnicity. The closest I've been able to come up with is John Huertas (Esposito on Castle), but he's a bit too old for the role.
