How about Danny Trejo as the Red King?

Wayull...the Arabs (Banu Umayya through the Almohadins) ruled Spain for about 800 years. Which almost certainly means their contribution to Spaniard genotype (and hence phenotype) was probably disproportionate to their numbers. This was certainly the case with Sicily before the Crusaders conquered Palermo, and the heritage is apparent in many Sicilians to this day. A Conquistador with darker phenotype is by no means improbable.

I watched the first half-episode of that murder on a spaceship miniseries, Ascension (it's awful, don't bother, I looked it up to see if it improves, it gets worse), and a thought occurred to me:
... Is Tricia Helfer a too-on-the-nose choice for the Shadow of Lasciel / Lash?

Hmmm... maaaaybe. I had her pegged as a cameo sidhe (ie not any of the main ones) myself.

Waltz is probably too small for Vadderung. He's supposed to be taller than 6'9" Harry. Waltz is 5'7".
And I know people live to point to LotR for proof that size doesn't matter, but it really does. Nothing short of LotR has LotR's budget.
