Let's have a bit of fun with our imaginations.

For example, the characters. Here's how I imagine some of the characters looking like:

Ganoes Paran - Brandon Routh

Whiskeyjack - Pierce Brosnan

Emperor Kellanved - Earl Cameron

Duiker - Paul Barber

Iron Bars - Daniel Day-Lewis

Laseen - Jennifer Lopez (with blue skin, obviously)

Tavore Paran - Julianne Moore (just cut her hair short, plus she has that icy stare that is characteristic of Tavore)

Kalam Mekhar - Ray Fearon

Quick Ben - Peter Mensah

Brys Beddict - a young Brad Pitt

Those are the ones of the top of my head. Feel free to share your views.

Heya, there's a few "who would play who in the movie" threads around from a while back, you may have to go searching through the subforums.

They are probably a good indicator of who was in the public eye at the time actually.

"Fortune favors the bold, though statistics favor the cautious." - Indomitable Courteous (Icy) Fist, The Palace Job - Patrick Weekes

"Well well well ... if it ain't The Invisible C**t." - Billy Butcher, The Boys

"I have strong views about not tempting providence and, as a wise man once said, the difference between luck and a wheelbarrow is, luck doesn’t work if you push it." - Colonel Orhan, Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City - KJ Parker

I don't doubt that, but my wording was clear. I asked what do you imagine the characters looking like, this isn't fan casting. For instance, Earl Cameron is dead, so there's no way we'll ever see him playing Kellanved. Another example is the Letherii, whom I imagine as being predominantly blond haired blue eyed caucasians, and for some bizarre reason I always visualize Withal as looking like Wreck-it Ralph.
