How about Tom Felton for Rudolph?

Oooooh, good pick. I already have a visceral "Ugh, what a brown-nosing weasel" reaction to him thanks to his role as Draco. ... Actually, I kinda feel bad for the kid!

Yep, he's stuck in that kind of role.  And I don't think that even getting it on with a horse will remove that typecast.

You forgot Michael.  Again, I see Thomas Hayden Church for him.

Where? I'm pretty sure he doesn't show up in Changes or Turn Coat. Hadn't thought of Thomas Hayden Church for Michael, but now that you mention it, he could work.

I don't think Thomas Hayden Church is exactly right for Michael.
He has the build and all - it's the look.  Michael has to inspire trust almost immediately, I
don't think Church does that.  Sorry, just my opinion.

The kid who plays Draco would be good for something - not so sure about Rudolph - he looks
somewhat too decisive for Rudolph.  I see Rudy as having a weak, sneaky look to him.

I believe that JB suggested/wanted that at some point.

I would have agreed with that about ten years ago. I especially enjoyed his performance in the later years of Angel. I think he'd a bit old for the role now.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Michael? He has a good fatherly presence.


and how is Tom Felton weasel enough? Have you not seen the Harry Potter movies? He even gets turned INTO a weasel.

I think you're confusing Tom Felton with Daniel Radcliffe.  Dan was the one who played Equus on Broadway.

Right! Yeah, I completely forgot about him. Thank you for reminding me.

I know that.  It took the full monte with a horse to break Radcliff of the "Harry Potter" typecast.  I don't think Felton can break the "brown-nose weasle" typecast, even if he has his own nude-with-a-horse moment.
