Perfect Casting, part 2

[Warden John Marcone]

I'm not all that fond of Christian Kane. What about him appeals to you as Kincaid?

Elliot Spencer.  'nuff said.

[Contrarius]

I dunno......this doesn't exactly look like Kincaid to me....

Well no.  But this does.



As does this.

Christian revealed that he based Eliot on B.A. Baracus from The A-Team.

I would have to agree... Back in Angel he did a pretty good job kicking ass... I can see it...

Casting for Death Masks
I decided to cast DM, because I'm the most familiar with that book and because it has a lot of my favorite characters in it. Beside the names I put a number ranging from 1 to 5, which indicates how much I like the casting. 1 means I don't really like it, but couldn't think of anyone better and 5 means I think the casting is perfect. I tried to consider both looks and talent.  

Harry: Hugh Jackman - 3
Mort Linquist : Steve Buscemi - 5
Larry Fowler: Tom Cruise - 4
Father Vincent: Willem Dafoe - 2
Ortega: Antonio Banderas - 4
Susan: Erica Cerra - 4
Martin: Jim Butcher   - 4
Murphy: Scarlett Johansson - 2
Butters: Seth Green - 4
Sanya: Chiwetel Ejiofor - 4
Shiro: Ken Watanabe - 1
Micheal: Russell Crowe - 3
Farther Forthill: Mark Sheppard - 1
Voice of Bob: Eddie Izzard - 4
Ebenezer: Jeff Bridges  - 4
Kincade: Christian Kane - 5
Ivy: Elle Fanning - 4
Molly: Alyson Michalka - 3
Charity: Cate Blanchett - 4
Anna Valmont: Emma Watson - 5
Deirdre: Miley Cyrus - 4
Mac: Bruce Willis - 4
Thomas: Matt Bomer - 3
Marcone: George Clooney - 5
Hendricks: Matthew Willig - 2
Gard: Uma Thurman - 3
Nicodemus: Robert Downey Jr. - 4
Cassius: Michael Sheen - 5

You forgot part of that curse. The full version is "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch, and may your arms be too short to scratch."

I think this may be my new sig

Casting for Death Masks

You've got some outstanding ideas there. If only Hugh were 10 years younger, I'd pretty much kill to seehim as Harry. I think I'd barf, though, if I had to see Emma Watson in any more movies. She can't act her way out of a wet paper bag.

My special faves from your list:

Hugh Jackman
Steve Buscemi
Erica Cerra
Seth Green!
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Alyson Michalka
Robert Downy
George Clooney
And, of course, Matt Bomer!

Harry-Jackman doesn't really fit with what I imagine.
Mort-Yes. Buscemi is perfect. Well, him or Kurt Fuller
Larry Fowler- YES. ALSO PERFECT.
Father Vincent-Dafoe would make it far too obvious that he's a bad guy.
Ortega-I imagine him a bit older. Maybe Benicio Del Toro.
Susan-Sure, why not.
Martin-Not nearly bland enough.
Murphy-NO. Scarlett Johansson is NOT Murphy. Too tall, for one thing, and Murphy should be more athletic (yes, I saw Iron Man 2. Not terribly convincing).
Butters-Yeah, Seth Green would be a good Butters
Sanya-Yes.
Shiro-I can't think of anyone better, so we'll go with him.
Michael-No. Just No.
Forthill-Used to him being a villain, but I'm always up for Mark Sheppard in something
Bob-HELL TO THE YES.
Ebenezar-Yeah, man!
Kincaid-Yes
Ivy-sure
Molly-She's supposed to be 14 or so in this one, remember?
Charity-I dunno. Blanchett's a good actress, but she doesn't quite fit with how I imagine Charity.
Anna Valmont-Not who I'd pick, but I can't think of anyone better.
Deirdre-NO. JUST NO. DO NOT GIVE THAT ABOMINATION ANY MORE ATTENTION.
Mac-*affirmative grunt*
Thomas-Yeah, I think most of us agree on him.
Marcone-My second choice, after Mark Harmon. Clooney's ok.
Hendricks-Haven't seen him in anything, but he has the look.
Gard-Well, we know she can kick ass.
Nicodemus-I don't think RDJ can do sinister well enough. In my mind, Timothy Dalton is Nicodemus.
Cassius-I thought Cassius was supposed to have darker skin? Honestly, I have no one in mind for him, so sure.

Well compared to the other kid actors in HP I thought Watson wasn't so bad.

My special faves from your list:

Hugh Jackman
Steve Buscemi


Erica Cerra
Seth Green!
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Alyson Michalka
Robert Downy
George Clooney
And, of course, Matt Bomer!

I like the idea of Downey as Nicodumus. If anyone and make an animated flying shadow look cool I think RDJ can. Plus he can do a good British accent and be both refined yet wild-eyed crazy at the same time. 

Ortega-I imagine him a bit older. Maybe Benicio Del Toro.

Bandera is a bit older. I should have put up a more recant picture, but in all of them he had facial hair, which just didn't look right.

Deirdre-NO. JUST NO. DO NOT GIVE THAT ABOMINATION ANY MORE ATTENTION.

Hey an abomination to play an abomination. I think it fits. Deirdre is a stupid, crazy bitch. SO who else?

Just stick a fork in my eyes and put me out of my misery....

But I can **absolutely** see Seth Green yelling "Polka Will Never Die!!"

[hank the ancient]

Deirdre-NO. JUST NO. DO NOT GIVE THAT ABOMINATION ANY MORE ATTENTION.

Ok how about snookie then...

seriously though, my full female cast goes

Murphy- Nikki aycox
Molly - taylor momsen
susan- sarah shahi
elaine- anna torv
ivy- whichever the next fanning is in the litter
leah -christina hendrix
georgia- mary elizabeth winstead
mavra- alice krige
Luccio/corpsetaker- alexa davalos
Charity- got in the habit of picturing amanda detmer for a while but recently thought elizabeth mitchell

NO FRIGGIN IDEA FOR LARA OR THE SIDHE GIRLS!

also I don't know why, but dominic monaghan is my type cast for fix

[docdoc]

consider for Ebenezar

William Devane

[Snowleopard]

He would need makeup but Paul Blackthorne for Rashid.
Cause he's gonna be taller than most anybody else you get for Harry.
Besides he wasn't a bad Harry and deserves a chance to be in the movie.  So there.

Oh, I keep forgetting to mention -- Lara is Angelina Jolie.
