SPOILERS Lets Cast - 'Guards! Guards!'

[Tonyblack]

Have you ever seen Hercules in New York? It's Arnie's first movie and because of his accent, they dubbed a different voice to him.

 

[Dotsie]

Poor Arnie! He made it work for him though.

And yes, looking at John Henshaw, he looks exactly like Fred Colon

 

[chris.ph]

wots the name of the bloke in quadrephenia and eastenders coz i think hed be a good cmot dibbler

 

[Jinx]

Is this the same guy who was in that Blur video, Parklife?

I think it' Phil Daniels

 

[chris.ph]

thats the bloke he has the right shifty look to be a spiv

 

[Sirandilas]

"That guy who plays House in House" would be Hugh Laurie, who was also in Blackadder

Instead of Pete Postlethwaite , Who I think ha steh right look for Vimes I coudl also see Alun Armstrong

Ridcully could also be Richard Griffiths

or Graham Crowden

As for Nobby I always saw him as Ewen Bremmer

 

[Tonyblack]

Good choices there! I'd definitely agree with Graham Crowden. For years now I've thought he'd be ideal and oddly enough, I can always hear his voice when I read: "BURRRRRSSAAAARRR!"

 

[Sirandilas]

I coud also see Richard Griffith as the busar or maybe this guy

Jack Shepherd

And for the patrician how about Simon Mc Burney

I can also see Patrick Malahide as either Viimes or teh Patrician

Edit-- also how about this guy as Vimes

With that beard he coudl also pass for the Patrician

Another Edit

I always envisioned Sybli Ramkin as looking rather like Lady Maud Lynchwood (As played by Geraldine James) in Blott on the Landscape

 

[Dotsie]

OMG you are spot on with Sybil. Can't believe I never saw that before.

 

[Jason]

Graham Crowden played Ridcully in the Cosgrove Hall Soul Music adaptation.

 

[chris.ph]

she is lady ramakin to a tee

 

[chris.ph]

god i cant spell

 

[Sirandilas]

Ok a few more

I always thought of CMOT Dibbler as some whjere between Delboy and Frank Butcher but then I saw this guy on TV over here

I dont know if you have seen the Shamwow infomercials in the UK but here is a youtube link

I also think the guy who played Bricktop in Snatch, Alan Ford wouldnt be too bad either

Rincewind is tricky, I think Eric Idle wouldnt be too bad or the guy who play Mr Weasley in the Harry Potter Films but other than that I am stuck for who could get the skinny, weasley, Cowardly character down

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Mark Williams aka Mr A. Weasley - spot on! Also Geraldine James for Sybil - she is such a talented actress across the board but she does bring such gusto to her comedy roles - I loved her in Blott as well and Sybil is much the same (only kinder to animals I suppose)

 

[Sirandilas]

Of course in the Hollywood version Rincewind would be played by Owen Wlson

Probably with the Rock as Sam Vimes

 

[chris.ph]

not if we had anything to do with it :twisted:

 

[Dotsie]

I don't know, I've always thought that the Rock looked like a man with inner turmoil.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Surely The Rock has to be Detritus? (in the Hollywood version anyway)

He was a brilliant Uruk-Hai in LotR1 - and one of my favourite RP characters is based on him actually as I was so strongly drawn to him

 

[Sirandilas]

The Rock? In LoTR1? I think you need to lay off of the Pipeweed a little

If you are thinking about the Big Uruk Hai, Lurtz, who killed Boromir he was played by Lawrence Makoare


The Rock was cool in the Scorpion King though.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

He looked like the Rock though! or as if he should have been 'cos he does look like him. I'm afraid I don't know the Rock's actor name and as Lurtz wasn't really a Tolkien character at all I never actually bothered to look him up on the cast list - maybe they're brothers? :twisted:
