Well one of the main reason i wrote this post is to hear other ideas and for help for mental pictures of other characters for example im having difficulty picturing Dr. Chen Josh and loki. for Dr. Chen as i stated before Ryk haven't given any detail to guessing her age. Seeing that she is a rookie Dr. I assume she is young and of the same age as Nathan and rest of the young command crew. however if she is old that means a whole other list of actresses that can play the part. For example for a young chen i would go with the actress who played the female lead in pacific rim while an older Chen could be played by say ming na wen from Marvel Agents of Shield. Josh i know has to be both young and someone with a convincing Aussie accent. for loki I could see some one like Zachary Levi if he was younger but since he's not itll have to be someone else I see loki as a young Chuck that how i see the character based on his personality.
oh speaking of Chuck i just flashed on an idea Adam Baldwin as Marcus his character Jane from firefly kind of reminds me of Marcus
Don't ask why it just popped into my head, Major Waddell - Gary Busey. Or his son Jake Busey. The older Busey might be too old for the physical demands of the character but both of them are familiar with on the edge or psychotic characters.
Nathan - Alan Ritchson Jalea - Vanessa Hudgens (exotic enough and killed just in time as we get sick of her
Cameron - Kristin Cavaleri
Nash - Arielle Kebbel
Vlad -
Kayla - Michelle Trachtenberg
Josh
Loki
Tug
still figuring out the guys, the girls were easy once you don't think of the top money names
Nathan should be someone like Jared Padalecki.
I don't know about Padalecki. Supernatural is a favorite of me and my middle daughter, I've seen him play possessed people, soulless people, and I have to say he "Might" do OK as Nathan. I'd have to see him with a more fleet issue haircut and see if he can stand at attention with any semblance of a real stance.
I'm going to have to think about this one. I'll get back to you.
hahaha what i meant its that Nathan its young, charming and no one takes him seriously when they meet him. Atleast thats how i imagine Nathan should be. He should have a Smallville Smile if u get my meaning.
Luis I do understand what you mean. I don't think Padalecki would be a bad choice at all. It's just that some of his facial expressions are so animated, but he seems to be a good enough actor to control that. So yeah he'd have my vote.
actors in current jobs would be hard to pull for the money a studio would budget even for just a pilot.
Chris I think everyone knows the score when it comes to getting an actor to sign on and such. I think everyone in this topic is more or less expressing their dream cast so to speak. The real deal would probably be more like you stated earlier, relatively lower price range actors.
Chris I like your choices the only one I would say no to is Vanessa hudges for jalea she is way too young remember Jalea a was married with a child before and when they died it why she had so much hate for caius.
I would love to Hear Ryk's Thought on his characters and who he would have in mind to play them
Ok another over priced actress but I think she might fit the part, looks and all Angelina Jolie for Jalea?
Sorry was watching Meet the Robinsons with the kids on some Disney channel and there was a promo for some remake of Sleeping Beauty in which Angelina Jolie plays the evil witch type and I thought she might make a good Jalea.
Just throwing that out there. 😉
100% agree with that her role as salt. Kind of reminds me of jalea.
Padalecki had been in Supernatural Tv show for many seasons IMHO getting him to do anything else would be hard to do. He is probably locked in a contract.
