Perfect Casting, part 2

[Snowleopard]

Ok, that's one of my pet peeves. Just because it's animated, doesn't mean that it has to be simplistic. Plenty of animated stuff has a much better storyline than any live action movie or show. I'm certainly not suggesting that the animated series be made with a younger audience in mind, no sir.
Yeah, but I don't think he could do a convincing American accent. While I would absolutely LOVE to see him as Harry, it wouldn't work.

TC - I didn't think you were suggesting something simplistic - it's what the powers that be would think.  (And they don't do a LOT of that.)

I think he just needs a better coach and more time to work on it.

Hi Jaeh, how have you been?  Good I hope.

Hi Jaeh, how have you been?  Good I hope.

hi snow, glad you remember me. Been busy; probably going to get busier. I missed the forums, though, so I'm here.

besides, with Ghost Story coming in a few months I really can't keep away, lol

you?

[Snowleopard]

Hanging in.
Have to move or get evicted.  Sigh.  No fun that.
Am looking forward/dreading GS.  (Now what is JB gonna do to Harry.)

Ok, so here's a clip from an American tv show pilot that Tennant was on. the show never aired, but it's a good look at how he sounds with an american accent.

Thoughts? It's not as bad as I thought when I first saw the clip, but there's still something weird about the accent.

I'm new to this thread, but has anyone considered Sarah Michelle Geller (the TV Buffy) as Murphy?

yep, already saw that.

yeah, thought he needed a better coach. There *was* something weird about it.

I have to admit I loved her as Buffy, but I don't think she has the acting chops to be Murphy.

[Tempus Corvus]

Plus, it'd feel too much like we were trying to copy Buffy. And Murph is supposed to be more athletic. I wouldn't be convinced by Sarah Michelle Geller taking down a monster with a chainsaw. And I can't really see her as being serious all the time like Murphy.

So, since the subject was brought up a page or so ago...if there was an animated adaptation, who would you pick as the voice actors for everyone?

Harry=James Marsters
Murphy=Jennifer Hale, maybe. (FemShep in Mass Effect, and about a zillion other roles. I'm trying to stick more to voice actors for this idea)
Bob=Steve Buscemi
Mab=Patricia Drake (Balalaika in the english dub of Black Lagoon. this clip will explain why. She's the woman with the scars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ116EVYVP4)
Morgan=Clancy Brown
Nicodemus=David Kaye (Beast Wars Megatron)
Erlking=Keith David
Cowl=Mark Hamil

That's all I can come up with. Anyone else?

Yes, read the first chapter.  Oh boy, oh boy.  Trust Harry to try to take on a train.

[Tempus Corvus]

Clearly, Harry is actually Sabin.

While I personally have not heard it, there is a large following that says JB himself does a Bob that is second to none.  If we're talking voice actor, I would love to see/hear that.  Though him having the time for it is another question entirely. 

Mark Hamil as cowl doesnt work for me, but thats just because Id be constantly expecting him to break in the Joker laugh. 

Clancy Brown for morgan is intersting.  I think I'd take is a step further and go with Michael Ironside.  He's a man that would sound like it physically hurt to say something nice.   To be fair that view may be based largely on their roles as Lex Luthor and Darkseid (respectively) in the DCAU shows.
