ok so my vote, Ryan Reynolds, comes in third behind castle and wolverine. ??? ??? ???
ok so Nathan would not be bad at it but Hugh has no comedic ability at all and maybe i am late on this but where the hell is James marsters i mean really he has the look and he does the audio books great and we could get David boriuonz to play Tomas ;)

I know some one has most likely brought this up but it should be a choice

I think the general idea is Marsters has gotten a little too old to play a main roll (He would be pushing 50 by the time they make it), I have said as he does audio books he should be Bob being the only voice only character. Which would also give them room to use him as several little rolls. Others want Jim to do Bob but really after all his work on the Audiobooks these years Marsters is the man.

The Problem with Renolds is that i think we would get funny but not the right kind of funny

Billy is hard to cast because he needs to go fat to muscular. So who better than the original fat to thin master Jerry O'Connell (time travel for appropriate age.)

What about the kid who plays Samwell Tarly on Game of Thrones? John Bradley?

I know I posted this a while back, but the discussion about the Winter King reminded me.

Since the Winter King is Santa Claus, there's really only one actor for the job.

Oh, and Hellen Mirren for one of the Mothers. Probably Mother Summer.

That works. I would cast her in both roles though. Drive home the concept that they are aspects of one another.

He would have to seriouslly knuckle down and get in shape.

I have had David Blue in mind for billy for a time now, he lost a good bit of weight during SG:U and I can see him buffing up some.

I always pictured the Mothers, Queens, and Ladies as being essentially 3 sets of twins. So it would make sense having Helen Mirren play both mothers, Kristen Bell (my vote!) as both Aurora and Maeve, and whomever as both Queens (I don't have a fave yet there).

Hmm... you know thats not a bad theory. I can see it with the Mothers but I just dont know how well that would work with the rest.

That reminds me, I found this on her deviantart page. As much as I hate the fact its a SG shot omg it is the part. I dont know if I like her for Leah or Mab more, I know she could do either but wow.
