Perfect Casting, part 2

[NeuroHeart]

I rather like the idea of Kelsey Grammar voicing Chauncy.

I could only get behind that if they cast David Hyde Pierce as a  "good" summoned entity... like the Loa Harry calls on and puts in a doll's body.  Just his voice, of course.

Ulsharavas is referred to as a 'she,' so that might not work too well. I can't think of another good summoned entity right now, apart from the little fairies, and I don't really see him as Toot-Toot. (I see Seth Green as Toot-Toot)

Thanks, I couldn't remember the Loa's name, and I completely forgot it was female.  Ah, Well.

Seth Green as Toot-Toot is brilliant!

She does, I agree, but I see her more as Lara. As I said earlier:


I would not cast anyone but Christina Hendricks as Lea.

Beautiful, sexy, deadly; check, check, check.

I like both of those!  Summer needs to be something else where she gets to be tough and kick ass.  She could be like one of the raiths.

I'm confused. Isn't Kincaid supposed to be a badass, and look like someone you wouldn't want to mess with? When I see Christian Slater, all I see is the idiot from Alone In The Dark. (Ok, he was good in True Romance, but that's it.)

Eh, I haven't seen Christian Slater in anything in ages, so I was just going off that picture of him, which makes him look like he could fit the bill.

How about Liev Schreiber, instead?

True fact: Liev Schreiber's voice puts me to sleep.    Anyone remember when they used him to narrate NOVA?   Those are the episodes I could never stay awake through.

(click it, it gets bigger)

Summer needs to be something else where she gets to be tough and kick ass.  She could be like one of the raiths.

The only one who really gets much face-time is Lara, though. Much as I like watching Summer kick ass, I just think Aurora would be an interesting character for her, and I think she looks the part.


Next, I know we haven't actually seen Titania except at a distance, but in my head she looks like this:

(Melinda Clarke)


And, moving away from the realm of Faerie, here is how I see the Gatekeeper:

(Sendhil Ramamurthy, aged up thirty or forty years)

And, possibly because she's described as very tall, I always saw Martha Liberty as Grace Jones:


The late Floyd Westerman as Listens-to-Wind:


Michelle Yeoh as Mai:


Jeff Bridges as Ebenezer:


Only missing the Merlin and Cristos and I'll have my full Senior Council.

[Tempus Corvus]

I'd go with Terrence Stamp or Bill Nighy for the Merlin. Although I'm not sure how either would look with a full-on Gandalf/Dumbledore beard.

And that picture of Eb is pure win.

Why thank you

I kind of see Hugh Laurie as the Merlin. I dunno, how do you think he looks with a full beard?

[Figging Mint]

Like he's trying out for a role as Osama except he needs to work on turban, upfinger and robe.

[Quantus]

Give him the long gandalf hair too.  Right there he looks weird to me, but i think its the long beard next to the short hair thats throwing me off.

Okay, I'll work on it. Hair isn't as easy as it might look, though.


edit: Photo should be updated now.

Great shots of the senior council, and I especially like The Dude as Ebeneezer.  Bonus points for Grace Jones, too!  Anything w/ Melinda Clarke gets my vote, and Seth Green as Toot-Toot made me LOL.  I got some weird looks at work.

I could see Liev Schreiber as Kincaid, ESPECIALLY if Kincaid turns out to be an enemy or traitor later in the series.  Liev always seems to be playing a creepy guy who ends up being the traitor.  See also:  Rufus Sewell



While watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand with my wife last night, she suggested Lucy Lawless as Lea.  I was only really familiar w/ Lucy in Xena and other bit parts she's done, but after watching Spartacus, I can say with no doubt that she could TOTALLY pull off a creepy godmother thing.  Ye Gods!

[Dina]

I agree with Lucy Lawless.
And I loved the Eb and some of the others. I always imagined Martha Liberty as a Della Reese type. But I won't go with the Merlin by Hugh Laurie. Hugh is much better than the Merlin. Terrence Stamp is a good choice, IMO.

[NeuroHeart]

Lucy Lawless as Lea. 

Okay, yeah, I can see that.

In other news, I just decided that Jamie Hyneman should be Mac. I don't know if he would do it, but if he did I would be soooo happy.

[Snowleopard]

Yes, LMAO - Jamie would make a great Mac.

Sooo - how about Adam for Butters - he's dippy enough.

Wes Studi for Listens to Wind.
