Yeah, he needs to not stand out, but if he's missing you definitely know he's gone
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

Hmmmm, just had a thought for Michael.  Would need a bit of makeup to age him - but
how about David Wenham.  (Faramir from LoTR)  He's stocky, looks good in a beard, can do snark, and you
trust him.

I could kind of see that, I was also thinking the guy who played Boromir after seeing him in Game of Thrones, that was like dead on Michael in Body and spirit.

Sean Bean is good (Boromir) but David Wenham has a more trustworthy and open face than Bean.
His face is more 'good' if you will.  He looks like he has Michael's sweetness of spirit.

I've only got two actors that I can even remotely see for Michael in my head - Tom Selleck (iffy) and Liam Neeson (definitely). I can't think of any other actors who are the right age/height/physicality and have the gravitas to pull it off.

I totally agree with Snow, the guy who played Faramir! Boromir has the forever legacy of being the guy in LotR that was tempted by evil. That character will follow him everywhere and Michael like Snow said just has an all around good 'aura' about him. Faramir fits that perfectly!
MF you  should stop shoving things in peoples mouths. I'm feeling left out. :(
Oh really? Huh. Well this is awkward.

Paul Gross. He may be a little beyond the age now, but he's definitely got the look and character projection.

Sean Bean always seems a little world weary for Michael.  This is how I picture Michael
hmm I cant seem  to figure out how to add a photo Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is the actor is playing Jamie In HBO's Game of Thrones series.

Search the picture you like. Right click on it, "copy image URL". Then in the posting window, go to the small icon with a picture (is the Gioconda) that is right above the smilies, on your left. Then  "" will appear. Paste the URL you copied and ready! It must look like ""
