Miss Cavendish = Michelle Gomez?

(1/4) > >>

bmacdonald:
I don't normally do fan-casting in my head, but from the first scene with Sycorax Cavendish, I saw and heard her as Michelle Gomez, specifically in her role as "Missy" in recent episodes of Doctor Who. I know the book has been in the planning stages for a while, so it almost certainly wasn't intentional. I was probably also influenced by "Sycorax" being a name used in Doctor Who (originally from Shakespeare, yes, I know). I'm wondering if anybody else saw her that way?

Second Aristh:
I actually saw her as a normally proportioned Yu Baba from Spirited Away.  Gomez isn't a bad model though.

I like her as the Mistress.  She might be good as a Cavendish, but I wonder if it's too constrained for her.  Is Cavendish a brunette?

Helen Mirren might be interesting as a Cavendish too.

Dina:
I thought in Helen Mirren too!

Quantus:
Missy was the image I got in my head too, though mostly just as my most recent image of an Evil Mary Poopins.  In terms of a Casting I think she's a bit too old for Cavendish.  Cavendish is a former student of Ferus, who's not immensely old, so I'd cap her age at around 40 or so.
