PB Casting Help

[anarchist_queen]

So I'm trying to decide who should play Lord Corwyn, an Unseelie Elf of creepy cunning and terrible power. He's racist as all get out and wants to rule the world. I'm stuck between
Rutger Hauer
Christopher Walken
Jason Isaacs
Alan Rickman
Christopher Lee
Peter Cushing, and just now,
Boris Karloff.

Any suggestions?

Long as I'm at it, good guy elves one of whom used to be in a biker gang and an asian girl who's got a few extra pounds on her but used to be a boxing champ.

Well, Karla will be said because Rutgar Hauer is her dad and Jason Isaacs is her adopted uncle, but NPCs are NPCs.

I had forgotten that Rutger was her father. But since this guy is not likely to ever encounter anyone in Fandom (it'd be totally beneath him to ever leave Faerie), and I tend not to have my characters notice any resemblances unless it'd be funny (half of Billy's NPC's have been played by folks in Fandom), I guess they're still in the running :)

Sai!



Margaret Cho?

Sai indeed! I kind of want King 'o Beer to come into play at some point because he's one who I had cast almost the moment I finished the book. I just can't remember the actor's name off the top of my head. Jonothan from Buffy.

And Margaret Cho did occur to me yes. Trying to decide if I can see her playing a tough former boxer/bouncer, I've only seen a little bit of her stand up.

Oh and have you read many of the short stories?

[thatsamilkshake]

Aaaaaages and ages ago, I'm afraid.

I got Corwyn from one of those, but I've only read two of the collections. One of those was, as you said, ages and ages ago.
