I still say that Mark A. Sheppard would be the perfect Nicodemus; charisma for days!


Not bad for 90% of nic's scenes, and he certainly can do the gentlman Devil, but Im not sure Id buy him going medieval on the top of a train swordfighting two at once.

I believe the people being casted here actually make for fantastic choices for the cast, particularly for harry. Even Lea seemed well off, and she's hard to visualize and typecast. The only one who struck me as being off was Mab's actress.

That would probably be done by stunts and CG anyway.  But I like Lani Tupu better for Nicodemus.  He's also be just as good as Donald Morgan.

I actually just started thinking that Mark Pellegrino might be great for Nic.  He doesnt really look like how I picture Nic at all (thought with the right costumes and make-up he might get close) but in the last two things Ive seen him in (The Tomorrow People and Being Human) he has played a sort of villain that quiet, calm, even polite, while somehow radiating the sort of frighteningly rational evil and amorality that I get from Nic.

I think Mark Pellegrino is great at the subtle, quiet bad guy.  He did the same on Supernatural.  But I'm not sure he's quite what I picture for Nic. 

I'd rather cast him in a subtly big role, like Gregori Cristos.

Reason I still hold out for Lani Tupu as either Nicodemus or Morgan is because in Farscape LT looked just like I pictured Morgan in particular.  Trim beard, pony-tail, stern features and attitude.

And then, quite involuntarily, the same image was superimposed whenever I was reading about Nicodemus.  And the image has just STUCK there for both roles, despite the fact that I think I've read "Turncoat" at least four times, and all the others at least three (Deadbeat five or six times).

Can no more escape that mental image than I can that of Jim Carey in yellow Grinch makeup as the Naagloshii.

Oh wow didn't even think of Binder. Oh he'd be great for Binder. But I just have a hard time seeing many people as Nicodemus. You have to have a certain charisma for the role, which I think Mark Sheppard has.

I liked him a lot as Lucifer in Supernatural. He's not how I picture Nic at all either, but he could probably get Nic's charisma down.

Sorry, that role's picked out for the guy who played "Badger" in the firefly series...

Who are you thinking for him?

Binder.  Put a derby on him.  it fits.  OOPS.  Didn't get that the guy picked for Nicodemus was Mark Sheppard, LOL (didn't know his name when I first nominated him for Binder).
