We'd have to find a 6'6" actress to play Georgia, but sure.  You could start off in a chub-suit.

I agree. We need to find me a gorgeous amazon model to play Georgia. In fact, that's going in my contract right under the required giant bowl of green m&ms.

But as we all know, when casting fiction the first thing that goes out the door is extraordinary height issues. If Hugh Jackman can play 5' 5" Wolverine, 6'0" BobForPresident can play Billy Borden!

Ortega - He played Richard on Lost.



Seconding Jeff Bridges for McCoy.

Adam Baldwin for Kincaid. Win.

Mort - This is funny, but, I think Bruce Campbell would be a good Mort. He can pull of the charlatan medium goofiness with great camp.

Nicodemus.



Emerson can go from nice guy to evil in zero seconds flat. Plus his eyes, yikes.

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.

Ortega - He played Richard on Lost.



Holycrap. I've just now realised that he's the exact mental picture I get for Ortega. That's what I get for reading TDF at the same time as I was catching up on Lost, I guess.

Emerson doesn't strike me as a Nicodemus though, for some reason. I get more of an American Psycho vibe from Nic (well... an older and less pretty Christian Bale, maybe...). A full-fledged, not going to change sides any time soon, charming, smiling politely even as he murders you, deranged psychopath.   Not the "You never know if I'm a good guy or a bad guy because I change sides every other week due to being a bit self-centered, making bad decisions, wanting to survive, wanting lotsa power and respect, ect., ect."

It was a series, I forget the name, and he was a super hero.

I'm so not sure if that is truly awful or damned funny.

Wildly silly.  Should show that pic to Chiro - she'll either be highly indignant or rotflhao.

I think Dos Eqquis' "The Most Interesting Man in the World" should do Ortega. Come on. Couldn't you just see him sitting on Larry Fowler terrifying our narrator?

Naw, I don't see him for Ortega.
Not sinister enough in my books.  Ortega should be suave and sinister.

By the by, the series he was in was the live action Tick series.

I don't know the guy's name, but he played Sam Francisco in the Alien Nation TV series.

live action Tick series.

There is something fundamentally flawed about this statement.
