I remember that there was a popular thread on the OKT like this. I have a list somewhere of who I think they all should look like, just to have a good mental image of them when I'm reading the books, but I seem to have misplaced it. So who do you think the characters should look like?

McClance

13th January 2005, 01:23 AM

I tend to use the voices of a lot of familiar actors/actresses when I'm reading too.

My of my casting:

Landing:
Michael O'Hare as Admiral Benden
Claudia Christian as Governor Boll
Robert Picardo as Liliancamp
Bruce Boxleitner as Tillek
Peter Duryea as Sean Connell

2nd Pass:
Dennis Quaid as K'vin
Dina Meyer as Zulaya
Patrick Stewart as M'shall
Gates McFadden as Irene
Vaughn Armstrong as Paulin
Clive Revill as Chalken

9th Pass:
Viggo Mortenson as F'lar
Guy Pearce as F'nor
Ian McKellan as Robinton
Laurel Goodwin as Menolly
Suzie Plakson as Kylara
John Noble as Meron

That's all I can recall for now.

Do you hear Viggo MortensEn using his Aragorn voice or his own rather rusty saw voice? Interesting for a man who learned English in NY, he sounds Southern to my ears.

Perhaps he should play Toric, then. He's Southern... :redfruit: :runaway:

Ok, back to topic. I think Viggo has a kind of nasal "twang" to his voice. I'm not sure if that's Southern, but he'd make an interesting Pernese character.

I guess the only question is which one? McClance says F'lar. Anyone else have an opinion?

Finally found my list. The problem with alot of my choices are that they are personal friends or relatives of mine, so I'll leave those ones out.

AIVUS - voice of Robin Williams
Alessan - Orlando Bloom
Avril Bitra - Sigourney Weaver
Paul Benden - Captain from ‘Titan A.E.' (sorry, thats an animated character, but he just looks right to me)
Breide - Alan Rickman
Brekke - Charisma Carpenter
Camo - Jim Carey
Chalkin - Thor from ‘The Ultimates' comic book (another drawn character, but I was just going for a mental image)
Corman - Gary Oldman
Domick - Brad Garret
Dushik - Ethan Suplee
F'lar - Jim Caveesel
F'nor - Guy Pearce
Fandarel - John Rys Davies
Fax - David Thewlis
Groghe - Brian Cox
Iantine - Elijah Wood
Jayge - either Paul Walker or Chris O'Donnell
Jaxom -Jake Gillienhall
Jerint - Billy Crystal
Kenjo Fusaiyaki - Jet Li
Kylara - Jennifer O'Dell
Leri - Anne McCaffrey
Lessa - Amy Lee
Lytol - Peter McCauley
Menolly - Katie Holmes
Merelan - Jennifer Garner
Meron - John Noble
Mirrim - Mila Kunis
Moreta - Amanda Tapping
N'ton - Ricardo Montalban
Neru - Billy Gilman
Nicat - Christopher Walken
Norist - James Woods
Oldive - Danny Devito
Piemur - Ben Savage
(young) Readis - Angus T. Jones
R'gul - Sean Bean
Robinton - The cover of Masterharper seems perfect for me, can't think of a living actor that looks right. Maybe Richard Dean Anderson
Sebell - M. Night Shamalan
Silvina - Sally Fields
Sorka Hanrahan - Laura Prepon
T'gellan - David Wenham
T'lion - Travis Fimmel
Sallah Telgar - Famke Janssen
Torene - Terry Hatcher
Toric - Keanu Reeves

Sean and Viggo! I like your list. Sean makes a wonderful villain. Hero too, I hate to see him so typecast...

Bamy

13th January 2005, 09:14 PM

michael shanks would make an excellent sebell and the lad who played chris in charmed would do well in the role of flessan

Bronze-Dragonrider

13th January 2005, 09:31 PM

Michael Shanks! *slaps forehead* thats perfect! Thanx Amy, now there'll be nearly the entire cast of Stargate in my imagination of Pern :bouncy:

jamnar

13th January 2005, 09:31 PM

I'd say Kate Beckinsale for Avril Bitra.
Robinton is the hardest to cast, perhaps Placido Domingo, he does have a wonderful singing voice.
I've always pictured Robert Redford as Paul Benden.
There's always (irish)Man of the Moment - Colin Farrell, as Sean Connell, with Charlize Theron as Sorka.
Michelle Pfeiffer would be good for (older) Sallah Telgar, she's good at tragic.
Keanu Reeves could play T'bor, to Gwen Steffani's Kylara.
Peimur - Tobey Maguire
Menolly - the girl who sings with Evanesence, just because of her voice.
F'lar for me would have to be Eric Bana and I agree that Guy Pearce would be good for F'nor.

NeouofPern

14th January 2005, 03:16 AM

Hmm.... Ah! I just forgot the actress's name..... You know... If Catherine Zeta Jones dyed her hair, she would be the perfect Kylara. Her voice is so sultry. I agree with a lot of bronze-dragonrider's choices... though I'm afraid Jim Carrey would try to make Camo too humorous.

Bronze-Dragonrider

14th January 2005, 04:50 AM

Good idea for Catherine Zeta Jones. She'd fit nicely. And I didn't picture Jim Carey's usual outlandish preformances for Camo, I just thought that strictly appreance-wise, he might look right. I could imagine Carey stumbling around shouting and singing along with fire lizards, out of tune :D

maiken

14th January 2005, 02:20 PM

I'm not sure myself....but I agree mostly with Bronze Dragonrider..especially in Leri being played by Anne Mccaffrey...wouldn't it be nice for her to play one of her characters?

I thought of someone else for Robinton....but I will have to think of his name....darn short term memory...

cheetah

14th January 2005, 02:26 PM

Wow--Impressive lists everyone! I'm awful remembering the names of people I interact with, much less the names of actors, so I need a reference guide to figure out who all but the most famous actors listed are.

As far as Jim Carey as Camo, I have to agree with NeouofPern. Beyond potentially making Camo too humorous (and in the process belittling his character), I always pictured Camo as a fairly large man--not necessarily overweight, just stout. I'm not sure if there's anything to back that up--just my minds-eye view.

Also, I have a hard time picturing Tobey Maguire as Piemur. That's probably because I still have a hard time seeing him as the spider-man of the comic books (biting/sarcastic humor). He plays an excellent Peter Parker but seems too serious to play spider-man or Piemur. Just my :2cent:

McClance

14th January 2005, 11:44 PM

I also agree that Jim Carey would be terrible in ANY Pern role. He tends to be the same character in every role he plays.

Like cheetah, I have also pictured Camo as a large guy--somewhat like Lenny from Of Mice and Men.

Bronze-Dragonrider

14th January 2005, 11:57 PM

Oh well. I usually update lists as I hear better suggestions than my own ideas. My lists are usually just to have a good idea of what they look/sound like in my mind while I'm reading the books and I can make them 'act' whatever way I like. So Carey's humorous and exaggerated preformances are in no way part of that :evil:

Keep the ideas coming! I love what I've heard so far :bouncy:

NeouofPern

15th January 2005, 12:12 AM

I remembered who I meant! Renee Zelwiger (sp?) as Kylara... But with Catherine Zeta Jones's voice. Boo yah. For Camo.... That guy who played Charley, in that old movie. Well, if he looked the same now as he did then.

Dolphineer

15th January 2005, 07:15 AM

She's not an actress, but one of the Shedd Aquarium's marine mammal trainers kinda reminds me of Theo Force.

Ooooh. Tom Hanks! That is good. Yah, he's as perfect as one could get, I would think. You know.... The guy who played Faramir would look good as F'lar.

Bronze-Dragonrider

15th January 2005, 06:39 PM

Currently hes in my list as T'gellan, but I agree, he'd make a good F'lar also

David Wenham and Sean Bean (Boromir) would be great as F'nor and F'lar respectively. They look enough alike to be convincing as brothers.

I was thinking more of his character in Seabiscuit. I'm doing my best to ignore Spiderman, having grown up with the best of Marvel comics in the late 70's and 80's. I liked the action and CGI in the second film, but what was all that psycho-babble for?

Does anyone think Russell Crowe would make a good T'ron?
Heath Ledger for N'ton
Susan Sarandon for Silvina
Brian Cox as Fax (he was brilliant as Agamemnon in Troy)

The problem I have with casting is that I can see the face of the actor, but never remember the name.

fuzzypaws

17th January 2005, 08:48 AM

Would have to vote for Sean Connery for Robinton. Now that would be a Harper.

BeckyMildan

17th January 2005, 04:03 PM

Daniel Casey would be my choice for F'lar and John Nettles for D'ram. Tom Hanks and Orlando Bloom could play several roles.

granath

17th January 2005, 04:22 PM

The only role I've seen Russell Crowe in where I really liked him was A Beautiful Mind. He was great at playing an insane genius. I can't see Orlando Bloom in anything without thinking of Legolas.

17th January 2005, 05:13 PM

Yea, I have the whole book, but only scanned those two in. Others that I've picked up online are Robinton, Sebell (who happens to look like another of my friends, who also happens to be a musician) ;), F'lar, Lessa, Jaxom (I rather dislike that one), Sharra, and that pic of the Benden Red.

fuzzypaws

20th January 2005, 05:50 PM

Mathew Brodderick for Jaxom, and I think Julia Roberts for Moretta. That would be a good start I think.

Lady Arwyn

21st January 2005, 12:19 AM

Lessa - Eliza Dushku or Jessia Alba (dark, petite with an attitude!)
F'lar - Adrian Paul
F'nor - Dale Midkiff (from "TimeTrax")
Fandarel - Michael Clarke Duncan
Jaxom - Ben Afflek (somehow he always seemed to me to fit the descriptions of Jaxom)
Kylara - Hudson Leick (Callisto on Xena)
Lytol - Michael Ironside (he's got the bitter, depressed but good heart down pat)
F'lon - Mark Singer
R'gul - Dirk Benedict :devil:
Toric - Kevin Sorbo
Master Shonagar - John Rhys Davies
Thella - Angelina Jolie
Tai - Lindsay Lohan

Ben Affleck as Jaxom? Could be good, given that I detest them both about equally! :devil: ;)

B`dgyr

21st January 2005, 07:47 PM

ok. Lessa: Angelina Jolie (Dude, her eyes are so intense. Don't you think Lessa would have intense eyes?)
F'Lar: Richard D. Anderson
F'Nor: Jerry Doyle
Robinton: Sir Anthony Hopkins
Menolly: Lana from Smallville, I can't remember her real name
Sebell: Ben Affleck, I hate the guy, but he was really good in DareDevil
Jaxom: Matthew Broderick (Mouse from LadyHawke)
That's all I can think of for now. Back later!

I don't know who Mila Kamis is, but when I saw Mean Girls, I thought Lindsey Lohan would make a good Mirrim - well meaning but nasty without even realising it.

Bronze-Dragonrider

22nd January 2005, 08:41 AM

Mila Kunis plays Jackie from 'That 70's Show'

But Lindsay Lohan could be a good Mirrim. She might work as the younger Aramina too.

I'd thing Kathy Bates would make a better Abuna. Or maybe Roseann......

We'll need more mixed-ethnic actors. I'd love to see Daniel Dae Kim and Kristin Kreuk, to name but two, in the cast.

Oops, I got the first name on my list mixed up. Instead of Abuna I meant Audiva. I definately agree with you for either Kathy Bates or Roseanne Barr as Abuna.

*edit* silly me, I just realized I didn't even add Abuna on my first list at all :roll:

Except that Camo is supposed to be massive, like an NFL lineman, and lug barrels of wine and huge wheels of cheese around like they are feather-light, but gentle like Forrest Gump.

Hmmm, I guess it's down to a metter of taste, but I've never seen Gwen Stefani as overly beautiful. She's mildly pretty, but as Cavatica so aptly described, Kylara/Avril/any of the evil women are supposed to be uber-sexy women who make mens' trousers tighter just by the sheer virtue of entering a room. :laugh:

I think Patrick Stewart would be good for the MasterHarper. I forget who, but somebody always struck me as being a prefect match for Jonathan Frakes aka Will Riker on Star Trek:TNG.

My Pern universe is populated by the casts of the Star Treks, Babylon 5, and Stargate :D

:box:
I releazed the other day that the voices for Gargoyles (an awesome show made by Disney) were mainly supplied by former Star Trekk cast members. If anyone besides me remembers it, Elisa would have made a good Lissa.

Bronze-Dragonrider

12th October 2005, 05:06 AM

I really cannot see Patrick Steward as Robinton... never could. I just cannot imagine what he would look like with hair (patches on the side don't count)that doesn't make him look silly, and Robinton had a full head of hair. :erm:

I have to agree with members of Stargate being part of the cast! :bouncy: Richard Dean Anderson as Paul Benden, Amanda Tapping as Moreta and Michael Shanks as Sebell :D Haven't thought of a place for Teal'c though...

29th November 2005, 01:23 PM

This is an interesting comment by Anne on Robinton casting:

http://www.crescentblues.com/2_1issue/mccaffrey.shtml

"Crescent Blues: Speaking of the Masterharper, rumors have been circulating that a movie based on his book might be on the horizon. Any truth to these rumors and if so, who do you have in mind for the title role?

Anne McCaffrey: I've thought of a lot of people who might be good in the role of Masterharper Robinton. But generally they are of such a calibre that they price themselves out of our budget. James Cromwell was, to my mind, a possible but his acting career just took off on warp drive. Robinton must be tall, fit, and have a good speaking voice (singers can always dub in).

I often thought Dwight Schultz (formerly Lt. Brocolli) would do justice to the part. Many email fans have suggested Sean Connery but that would really take all the budget! [Grins.] What I'd like to do is find a relatively unknown actor who has the look and the right charisma, as Babylon 5 did with the actors who played G'kar and Londo Molinari, and let them develop the character. But it's not my call. "

Bronze-Dragonrider

29th November 2005, 03:06 PM

I could imagine James Cromwell as Robinton... though he doesn't have the slightly squared face which I'd imagined for him.

Don't know what Dwight Schultz looks like.

Teehee.. I don't mean to sound mean but Katie Holms is a HORRIFYING choice for Menolly. Jennifer Garner is too young to be Merelan... M. Night Shamalan as Sebell? Can he even act?? And have you ever seen Keanu Reeves in a bad-guy role (Much Ado About Nothing.. -shudder-) it just doesn't work.

I'm still sticking with Jennifer Garner as Merelan (but just made to look older, not at the age she is now)
M. Night Shaymalan, err... another bad choice I made, now I'm thinking more like along the lines of Michael Shanks or Orlando Bloom.
I know Keanu Reeves stinks at acting a bad guy, but in my imagination I can make him act however I want him to ;) I just think that visually, Keanu fits as Toric, my imagination fills in the rest.
