Perfect Casting, part 2

[Figging Mint]

I'm sorry, and this is in no way meant as an insult to him, but have you seen Mark Sheppard lately?

He's got just enough Powers Boothe in him to carry it, I think.

[NeuroHeart]

Sure he can carry it, but dude's still gone a bit portly 


Speaking of going portly, what about Val Kilmer as Carmichael?



I also think I've settled on Dennis Haysbert as Stallings:


And Brenden Fehr as Tilly:

(He bears a resemblance to Duchovny, but he's a little more sharp-featured, so I thought he'd be a good fit.)

[Snowleopard]

I think you mean Rawlings NH?
Murphy's dads old partner.

[NeuroHeart]

No, believe it or not, I tend to say who I mean.
As I believe I mentioned previously, my pick for Rawlins is Ron Glass:

[Warden John Marcone]

I like Kilmer for Ron, but Sheppard needs to do something...bigger.  He needs screen time.

I think he'd make a good Nic, although he's definitely my second choice for the role.

[NeuroHeart]

Sheppard needs screen time.

I heartily agree! I didn't imagine him as Morty until Ghost Story, because the role got much meatier. I can't really think of any bigger roles I could see Sheppard in. I don't think he has the look for Nicodemus, though he certainly has the acting chops.
I always saw David Boreanaz as Nicodemus; he's most interesting as an actor when he's being evil.


I also considered Binder for Sheppard, but that's a one-shot character, and I think Bob Hoskins is better for Binder anyway.


Plus, Sheppard plays a lot of villains. I'd like to see him playing against type some.

[Warden John Marcone]

Boreanaz for Nic?  Nuh-uh.



I would HATE to have met Sir Anthony Hopkins when filming Silence, the man was terrifying.  The definition of a gentleman monster.

[NeuroHeart]

Boreanaz for Nic?  Nuh-uh.

Even in Silence, I think he looked a little old for Nicodemus, and he certainly hasn't gotten any younger. (the Fallen look perpetually young, and Nic is described as looking thirty-something, if I recall.)
I think most people would cast Hopkins as Odin, though he might not want to do that twice.

[Warden John Marcone]

Like I said, Sheppard is my second choice behind Hopkins.

[Silverblaze]

I'm seriously thinking Kris Kristofferson playing the role of Ebenezer.

[NeuroHeart]

Kristofferson is actually fairly close to my choice of Jeff Bridges, looks-wise, but I think Bridges is the better choice acting-wise. 

[Griffyn612]

I'm a fan of Klodi for Leah, but as for acting ability and looks, has anyone mentioned Sara Rafferty, recently of 'Suits' on USA?

On the show, she's very good at switching mood and personality at the drop of a hat.  I could see her playing sweet/crazy very well, and she has the looks.

[Tempus Corvus]

For Mort, I'm kind of torn between Wallace Shawn and Kurt Fuller

Wallace Shawn
Pros: Short, bald, and doesn't look very impressive. Also, Vizzini!
Cons: Might be hard to take him seriously when he's actually being serious.

Kurt Fuller
Pros: Bald, and can definitely pull off Mort's not really caring about anyone apart from him and the ghosts. Also, can definetly do badass when he needs to
Cons: The dude's pretty tall. 6'3'', according to IMDB. (I'd like to point out that I had an image of him as Mort before I saw any of Supernatural, although that is what convinced me that he could be a badass if needed.)

[Warden John Marcone]

Oh great, every subsequent readthrough of GS is going to have Mort in Vizzini's voice.  Thank you.

[NeuroHeart]

Oh great, every subsequent readthrough of GS is going to have Mort in Vizzini's voice.

Yeah, I'll stick with Sheppard, I like his voice much more 

Okay... what do I have that I haven't posted yet? Mostly vampires, I think.
