Back on topic, I think Vincent Price would have made a good Thomas Covenant.

Hugh Laurie, the doc in "House" would be great as Covenant. He has the look and the attitude down pat. The first time I saw the show, I thought "OMG! That guy looks like Thomas Covenant!"

Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.
Brian: Well, why don't you go and tell him you want to be a leper again?
Ex-Leper: Uh, I could do that sir, yeah. Yeah, I could do that I suppose. What I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the @$$ to be blunt and excuse my French, sir.

"Hamish." Good choices! Btw, the actor's name is Brendan Gleeson, and he's going to play Mad-Eye Moody in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire./i]Luke The Unbeliever wrote:<b>FoamFollower</b> - the guy who played Mel Gibson's best friend in Braveheart I believe his character's name was Amish(Ay-mish)?

I would think for the bloodguard, they would have to employ the same technology as PJ did with Gollum. For Covenant, I'd love to see someone like Jack Nicholas.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and
all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

My fantasy pick for TC is definitely Hugh Laurie. Hands down, no question. Ian McKellen is my Caerroil Wildwood. Other than that... :shrug: Oooh, I know! A young Brent Spiner as Amok, with the "Puck" voice he did for Disney's cartoon series, Gargoyles.

Whoah! I never thought about him, he could definitely do it. Geez! Maybe Calista Flockhart (she is my favorite actress) could play Elena, I loved A Mid-summer Night's Dream!danlo wrote:I'll never stop saying it>Christian Bale

Yea was thinking that too, i think i would prefer a non LotR actor, but i couldnt think of anybut personally I think I'd rather avoid Mckellan or Lee as a mysterious white-bearded figure.

I don't know much about his acting range, but Donald Sutherland possesses the stern visage I associate with Wildwood.Warmark wrote:Yea was thinking that too, i think i would prefer a non LotR actor, but i couldnt think of anybut personally I think I'd rather avoid Mckellan or Lee as a mysterious white-bearded figure.
That's a good idea. I dig DS. And--what about Keifer Sutherland for TC? (Apart from the unbeatable Christian Bale, of course, danloCovenantJr wrote:I don't know much about his acting range, but Donald Sutherland possesses the stern visage I associate with Wildwood.
.) Keifer's gone from almost-Brat-Pack bad boy to an actor with a well-developed range. His age is roughly right--he could do younger or older as need be.Halfway down the stairs Is the stair where I sit. There isn't any other stair quite like it.

Richard Harris. He could probably have done a mean "Give me a good reason not to kill you" thing with Caerroil Wildwood. Or would everyone have just said, "Look, it's Dumbledore!" There's also Michael Gambon, who makes a lousy Dumbledore but could definitely pull off a Forestal.Warmark wrote:Yea was thinking that too, i think i would prefer a non LotR actor, but i couldnt think of anybut personally I think I'd rather avoid Mckellan or Lee as a mysterious white-bearded figure.
Never really knew Christian Bale from Adam before, but now that I've seen a picture, I totally agree that he has the look for it. My second choice for TC, after Hugh Laurie.
