« on: November 24, 2008, 10:11:17 AM »I've never seen Summer Glau (who seems to be the top pick for Vin) in action, but what about Stephanie Leonidas? She's still a little on the old side (24, I think), but she looks young for her age, and I think she did a good job in Mirrormask (where, incidentally, she played a 15-year-old).
I think you are dead on.
David Tennant would be my choice for Kelsier. Wiki's Pic is better.
Marsh: Hugh Jackman! Looks close enough to Tennant to be an older brother, and a perfect role for him.
Dox to me was always a very tired Jackie Chan.
Russel Crowe was Ham in my reading.
Shan Elariel: Cobie Smulders.
Sazed: Wayne Brady.
TLR: Morgan frickin' Freeman.
Zane: a younger Hugh Grant.
Yeden: Hugh Laurie. (I think I have employed half of film's Hughs in this casting. It is disturbing to me.)
Renoux: Pierce Brosnan.
Clubs: If only Fred Astaire were alive... I suppose Woody Allen would do in a pinch.
Lots of these roles would be very different from what the actors are used to doing, but visually it's spot on to me. Plus I see a lot of potential in Wayne Brady as a dramatic actor.
Did I totally misread the books in casting Terrismen as black people?
EDIT: Fixed Fred's link. Also, I totally didn't notice Morgan Freeman above as a choice for Sazed. It just occurred to me that he has played god before (Bruce Almighty), so TLR wouldn't be totally new turf.
