Perfect Casting, part 2

[kacowkachow]

The combination of his roles in A History of Violence and Eastern Promises has solidified Viggo Mortensen as the pick for Kincaid for me.

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

Eh, I prefer him as Sir Stuart. Woody Harrelson (sp?) would make a great Kincaid.

He would certainly do well in the part.  I think the picture in my head is closer to Liev Schreiber though

Random 'Oooh she's hot, she could be Molly' casting of the day:

The girl from the new MB20 She's So Mean video, only with blonde hair (or maybe psychedelic, depending on the book)

has anyone seen the tv show chase i think that the lead Kelli Giddish would be a great murphy

[Tempus Corvus]

I have finally found a good Ramirez:
Tyler Posey, aka Scott from Teen Wolf. He's got the ethnicity (Posey is half-mexican), and he can be a cocky badass when he needs to, but he can also be a dork.

He's also, quite literally, the worst actor on a show thats supposed to be about him.  Its painful to watch him on-screen.

On a related subject, I previously suggested Colton Haynes for one of Michael's kids, but he could also probably pull off Billy Borden.  Although if we wait long enough, he would be old enough to pull off a pretty bad-ass Kincaid.

I don't think he's that bad. It's just that the rest of the cast is really good, so he looks worse by comparison.

I have to say, I think Dylan O'Brien has done a great job with his role.  I think his performances are better than the rest.  All the others at least have moments where they look like they're struggling with a weak script or character development. 

On a side note: it surprises me how short everyone is on that show. All the main male characters are 2+ inches under 6'.  Dylan's apparently the tallest at 5'10".  Tyler Posey is apparently 5'9".  One site said Tyler Hoechlin is 6', but another site said he's really 5'7".  Keahu Kahuanui looks like he towers over everyone, and he's 6'.

Random inspired casting, based on looks alone.

Grimalkin is supposed to be a malk.  Traditionally, a grimalkin is supposed to be a female cat.  But in SK, Harry refers to Grimalkin as 'Charlie', commonly a masculine name, and Billy refers to Grimalkin as 'he'.  Based on that interaction, I'm assuming Grim is a male.  And I've always pictured Grim looking like the Cheshire cat.  Mostly because of the mysterious appearance in SK.

So... Cheshire Cat


So... Grimaklin = Tim Curry

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

Or Tim Curry=HWWB, but I prefer Anthony Head for that role.

Nah, Anthony Head is Father Forthill for me. HWWB is voiced by Gabriel Wolf, who did the voice of The Beast in the Doctor Who episodes "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit."

I think Father Forthill is supposed to be short, isn't he?  And wiry, maybe?  Anthony Steward Head is 6'1, and last I saw of him in Merlin, not wiry. 

Maybe I'm wrong about the Forthill description though.

What are you guys thinking for Kincaid?

Christian Kane has a face that says "I will f*** you up if you mess with me," and he's got the voice to match.  And no, this isn't the CK fan talki...okay, maybe it is.  I love hearing this man sing.  But the point still stands.

Tricia as Mab = Delicious
Judi and Helen would be perfect as the Mother queens. Too bad there isn't more than the one scene.

Kristen Bell is a beautiful woman but she isn't who I see when I picture Murphy.

I recommend Katheryn Winnick http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935395/resumephotos
