Perfect Casting Part Three

Unlike Mab and Titania, Sarissa and Maeve arent described as blatantly Identical, and Aurora's similarities always struck me as more the natural family resemblance of two cousins born of actual identical maternal DNA.

Maeve and Aurora
--- Quote ---Her blond hair cleared out to Sidhe white, her fingers and limbs suddenly seemed slightly longer, and her features became almost identical to Maeve’s, eyes vertically slitted and almost violently green.

Maeve and Sarissa
--- Quote ---I looked back and forth between the two. “Hell’s bells, you’re identical twins.”

I think at that point, you'd have to get doppelgangers like Portman and Knightly, or just cast the same actress as all three.

I could absolutely go with a Portman/Knightly level, I just think that literally casting a single actress for all three would be the lazy shortcut.
And it would 100% ruin the surprise of who Sarissa really is, so there is that... :-\

Well, that's where makeup and acting come into play. I've seen actresses go blonde for a role and put on heavy makeup, and they look completely different. I think they could do the same with one actress for M/A/S, but it'd have to be the right actress. And Sarissa might need to be a brunette, to make it less apparent.

It could be done, and if there are budget constraints it might be likely. But if they can Id rather them do the legwork in the casting and get two actresses that look reasonably different until you put them side by side. Or hell, cast me some actual sisters!

Sister actresses seems rare, even for twins. I'd settle for that, but I still think having A&M played by the same actress would be the best bet, considering how different they appear. Then you could cast a sister for Sarissa down the line.
