Hmmm, I love the guy, but at least onscreen Ive never seen him loosen up to be able to picture him as Michael (no to say he cant, but Id want him to audition a scene or two). Not that Michael is particularly "loose" persay, but he's a lot softer around his kids than the ever-present formality I associate with Teal'chttps://youtu.be/NJGX7xevomI
I could see Nathan Fillion doing it, based purely on the episode of Castle where his daughter gets kidnapped. Mama Bears got nothin' on him.
Any Ideas for a Mortimer? Im struggling to find the right mix of Cowardice and indignation.
https://youtu.be/NJGX7xevomIHe's a casual guy in interviews, Ive just never seen him Act a character on that side of things. What I need is a stargate episode featuring body swapping; did he ever have to play Jack stuck in Teal'c's Body?
Here's Judge being casual in a Mamoa interview. He can be normal, too, but does a great job of carrying himself in a un-intimidating manner. That's the key for Michael to me. Being a big guy that doesn't try to look big.
As for Mortimer, if I were casting 15 years ago, I'd of said Steve Paymer, no doubt about it. He doesn't match the description of Mort's weight, but he could easily do the smarmy burnt out Mort and the respectable and stubbornly anti-Harry Mort.Oh, Perfect!! The poor soul he played in Oceans 13 is what Ive seen him in most recently, and it had just about the same tone

I'd like to have seen him as Sonya.Meh for me. I typically picture Sanya as being his size, but younger. A bulked up Anthony Mackie would be perfect, but as he is, he's not quite big enough. I could see him delivering the lines, though.

On a random tangent, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Vadderung. He's younger than most candidates, but I feel like a little gray hair and makeup will allow him to fit it nicely. He's got a wolfish look, and his cocksure grin is very Odin-like.Way too close to the actual descriptions methinks (though maybe the Norse god should get a pass?), for a Vadderung Im thinking more along the lines of:

An alternative for Vadderung ...Im willing to allow she can be made to work in just about /any/ role. But she'd be wasted as Vadderung, she's too high on too many other casting lists. Id use her as Mavra or almost any denarian or Sidhe first; Id go for uriel but she basically did that in Constantine. Hell, she'd be an awesome Gard.(click to show/hide)
I know, I know ... but you have to admit, it could be made to work.

I'll check your first alternative once I'm beyond the great fire wall. Your second alternative would be better suited for Langtry, where his scowl could be put to good use.

Admittedly, it's basically my same list for Alternative Marcone's as well, though you can imagine why there's a lot of cross-over there. There are also a ton of aging Kung fu stars that could work great but Im drawing a blank on any specifics.
The link is broken for me. Might be because I'm at work.That's where I always get hung up on Casting: It wildly depends on which timeframe you are casting. Marcone was already in his 40's in SF (salt&pepper beard), and that was close to 15 years ago. Vadderung has a sense of vitality, but no real physical indications of age, persay. So where do those two cross?

And I present Mr. Arthur Langtry ...Nah, these day's keaton plays sleezy better than arrogantly condescending. Hugh Laurie is my go-to, I dont have a really good alternative

Alternate BillyI'd counter with alternate Harry. Or regular Harry, if he were taller.
