Perfect Casting Part Three

[Quantus]

Then clearly we need Cloris Leachman for Mother Winter

[Rasins]

I like that

Hey Guys, apologies if it's already been mentioned but how about for Kincaid... Tom Hardy?

Im fine with that. Kincaid is one of those that rotates for based on the popular badass of the day.  Usually it's Jason Statham for me these days, though that's paradoxical for me because Kincaid has Hair in my  head and Statham does not cannot.  And either of those (Statham or Hardy) might be a bit too old depending on how young they cast Murphy; if they cast the characters for Storm Front, they have to cast most of them 15 years younger that I currently picture them.

I was thinking much the same and considered Chris Hemsworth for the youth thing, I think he'd appear a little too wholesome for Kincaid though. However, as Kincaid isn't vanilla mortal wouldn't he appear pretty much the same throughout the series and not as prone to the ageing process as Murphy and the rest of the plain old mortal types?

Emily Browning for Maeve.

Too mature looking, imo.  Maeve is supposed to make you feel dirty for finding her attractive.  The best Ive seen is Jena Malone, her character in the middle Hunger Games flick was a perfect Maeve, primarily using her sexuality to make others uncomfortable:

I think she's doing a great job on AG, but I don't feel like she's right for Maeve and Aurora and Sarissa.  Tatiana Maslany is the only person I've seen that can manage so many unique characters.  But I feel like she's now, at 31, too old to play a teenager/early twenties woman for the 10+ years it'd take to make the series.

Im not convinced those three need to be the same actress by any stretch.  Unlike Mab and Titania, Sarissa and Maeve arent described as blatantly Identical, and Aurora's similarities always struck me as more the natural family resemblance of two cousins born of actual identical maternal DNA.

Maeve and Aurora

Her blond hair cleared out to Sidhe white, her fingers and limbs suddenly seemed slightly longer, and her features became almost identical to Maeve’s, eyes vertically slitted and almost violently green.

Maeve and Sarissa

I looked back and forth between the two. “Hell’s bells, you’re identical twins.”

I think at that point, you'd have to get doppelgangers like Portman and Knightly, or just cast the same actress as all three.

I could absolutely go with a Portman/Knightly level, I just think that literally casting a single actress for all three would be the lazy shortcut.

And it would 100% ruin the surprise of who Sarissa really is, so there is that...

Well, that's where makeup and acting come into play.  I've seen actresses go blonde for a role and put on heavy makeup, and they look completely different.  I think they could do the same with one actress for M/A/S, but it'd have to be the right actress.  And Sarissa might need to be a brunette, to make it less apparent.

It could be done, and if there are budget constraints it might be likely.  But if they can Id rather them do the legwork in the casting and get two actresses that look reasonably different until you put them side by side.  Or hell, cast me some actual sisters!

Sister actresses seems rare, even for twins.  I'd settle for that, but I still think having A&M played by the same actress would be the best bet, considering how different they appear.  Then you could cast a sister for Sarissa down the line.
