Dream casting

She probably is now, but this thread is called "Dream Casting" and I took that to mean ideal people - never mind whether they are too old or even dead.

In that case I would nominate Marty Feldman for the part of Nobby.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Too tall.

Thank you all for the kind words. I apologize for not responding to each of you sooner, but I hope you'll understand. It's been a rough few days... But I'm getting there slowly...

Warmest regards,
Lori

"The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight." (Eric)

Adorah Belle Dearheart would have something in common with Daria Morgendorffer from the cartoon series. This would be the inscrutable deadpan voice and a facial expression that only alters in small, subtle, ways. In an animated version featuring ABD, I would reccomend Tracy Grandstaff (very versatile voice artiste, who voiced Daria). Her American accent might be put down to an upbringing in a different part of the Disc- this fits the "wide-open skies"frontier mentality of the Clacksmen (who in a different world took the telegraph coast-to-coast in the USA.)

I was secretly in love with Daria. I loved her cynicism and intelligence.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I take it that it's a US series Tony, can't say I know it.

 

[Tonyblack]

It was on British Tv, Dug. It was an animated series - a spin off from Bevis and Butt-head.

Daria.

If I remember correctly, I used to watch it on MTV when I had cable.

Thanks Ag! A real trip down memory lane!

Nope never seen it before, well I have now.

I like David Suchet for Vetinari. He's got mystery, the tiniest bit of menace, oodles of knows-more-than-you, and buckets of give-them-enough-rope-to-hang-themselves: qualities I've always seen in Vetinari.

I would have leant more towards Alan Rickman to play Vetinari, But each to their own eh!

I can't remember where I recently saw a comment about Alan Tudyk as Carrot. But I like it!

 

[Tonyblack]

That was a shock, for a moment I thought it was a young Boris Johnson.

Hi, I'm new here.
Bumping up this thread with a suggestion of Mark Addy for Sgt. Colon.
I've been watching Atlantis with Mark in and thought he could at the very least make a passable attempt at the role.

Welcome to the site, Dinobore!

Yes, I could see Mark Addy in the role of Colon.

Please - Boris Johnson can be just as sexy!

 

[DreadfulKata]

I think Sean Pertwee, John Simm or Robson Green would make good Vimeses.

Olivia Colman for Lady Sybill?

I'm down with Mark Addy as Colon - perfect.

Tom Hopper off of Merlin (he was Galahad) for Carrot. Remember, Carrot is only 16 when he's introduced - I hear a lot of names of actors in their 30s and 40s suggested for him!

Maggie Smith would be a great Granny Weatherwax, of course, or even Penelope Wilton if we're casting from the Downton Pool?

Miriam Margolyes is totally Nanny Ogg.
